if only the entire film was made with such restraint.ĭon't get me wrong, Jodhaa Akbar is not a bad film at all. It is a strong, well-performed scene, telling a tale and insightfully revealing a character by a mere gesture, a showing of mood. Wordlessly, he leaves his throne and joins the dervishes as they whirl, gracefully entering into the trance with feckless fervour. Hrithik Roshan, playing the Emperor of Hindustan, watches this with first bemusement and then, curiousity. Each of them sounding suspiciously like AR Rahman, the minstrels break into the touching Khwaja Mere Khwaja and take the track to an almost trance-like happiness, the two backup singers even looking nearly identical. The titular couple's wedding banns have just taken place, and a group of singers sit cross-legged to offer the lord tribute. Ruslaan Mumtaz : Mera Pehla Pehla Pyaar was a damp squib, but Ruslaan created a ripple in a quiet way.ĭeepika Padukone : Shah Rukh Khan’s dreamy girl in Om Shanti Om made a dream debut in a double role.I n Ashutosh Gowariker's Jodhaa Akbar, there is a particularly outstanding song sequence that must be praised. Sonam Kapoor : Sonam Kpaoor is a very talented actress she made a debut with Saawariya people appreciate her work. Ranbir Kapoor : Solid pedigree, endearing screen presence and oodles of self-confidence made the newest Kapoor on the block every girl’s favourite Saawariya. Vishal-Shekhar : Sajna ji vari-vari in Honeymoon Travels Pvt Ltd at the beginning of 2007 and Dard-e-disco in Om Shanti Om at end of the year rocked the charts. Pritam Chakraborty : The composer delivered chartbusters in Life… In A Metro, Bhool Bhulaiyaa and Jab We Met. Monty Sharma : The scintillating score of Saawariya has single-handedly revived the era of pure melodies. Priyadarshan : He’s the only director in 2007 with delivered two hits, a minor Dhol and a major Bhool Bhulaiyya. Imtiaz Ali : Imtiaz Ali So what if Jab We Met came when the lead pair parted? Shahid Kapur and Kareena Kapoor had never showed great chemistry in any of the films they did as a real-life pair. Amin has taken a long sabbatical after the triumph of Chak De! India. But her solid performances put her among the formidable actresses. Konkona Sen-Sharma : From Rani’s chirpy sibling in Laaga Chunari Mein Daag to Kunal Kapoor’s besotted Laila in Aaja Nachle, Konkona didn’t really deliver hits. She featured in hit films like Namastey London, Apne, Partner and Welcome Year 2007 was the best ever for Katrina’s career. Katrina Kaif : Katrina has every reason to be in seventh heaven. Vidya Balan : Three solid hits – Guru, Heyy Babyy and Bhool Bhulaiyaa have suddenly made Vidya a force to reckon with. Kareena Kapoor : One rousing performance in Jab We Met, and she’s back at the top.

Shahrukh Khan : Shahrukh Khan is a king of the bollywood with two super hits Movie Chak De India and Om Shanti Om the super power in every frame.Īkshay Kumar : Akshay Kumar as comedy king this years 2007 four hits – Namastey London, Heyy Babyy, Bhool Bhulaiyaa and Welcome.Īamir Khan : Aamir has proved he’s a man of integrity with Taare Zameen Par. The mughal period was known for its lavishness, so much so that studio bosses in Hollywood from the golden period were not called ‘movie czars’ or ‘movie nawabs’. I always wondered about the battles and the durbar intrigue. So far, the Mughal period was part of textbooks. It took me two years of pre-production before I got into my first shot. I’m tired of filmmakers wondering where those good old days have gone. You’ve paid extreme attention to period details.Įvery element big or small, from the texture of the clothes to the sets, décor, dialogues and the protocol, even the incidental sounds of birds and animals, they all had to be just right for me. I wanted to make my historical as believable as I’d like to see it being. What audiences will see in my film are ‘Jodha’ and ‘Akbar’.Īt least that’s what I’ve tried to ensure through their looks, body language and behaviour. They were a huge success in the contemporary Dhoom 2. They’re extremely charismatic and good-looking. Hrithik-Aishwarya’s pairing is incredible. Perhaps audiences would want to see Abhishek playing ‘Akbar’? Ultimately, the audience will be watching not the stars but the two characters that they play. The audience will come in and forget everything about Hrithik and Aishwarya. Aishwarya Rai and Hrithik Roshan have very contemporary personalities? mooter_page_section=”AdUnit2″ And I definitely shouldn’t make a historical. My crew made the process of creation very interesting.
But the process has been so enjoyable and I didn’t mind the toil. Is Jodhaa-Akbar the most difficult film you’ve made so far? It is.
Ashutosh Gowariker opens up on his forthcoming release ‘Jodhaa-Akbar’.
