Product Description
-------------------
Ashutosh Gowarikers Jodhaa Akbar is the story of the greatest
Mughal emperor that ruled Hindustan (now India), Jalaluddin
Mohammad Akbar, and a fiery young Rajput princess, Jodhaa. Set in
the sixteenth century, this epic romance begins as a marriage of
alliance between two cultures and religions, for political gain,
with the Hindu King Bharmal of Amer giving his daughters hand to
a Muslim Emperor, Akbar.
When Akbar accepts the marriage proposal, little does he know
that in his efforts to strengthen his relations with the Hindu
Rajputs, he would in turn be embarking on a new journey - the
journey of true love. From the battlefield where the young
Jalaluddin was crowned, through the conquests that won him the
title of Akbar the Great (Akbar in Arabic means great), to
winning the love of the beautiful Jodhaa, Jodhaa Akbar traces the
impressive graph of the mighty emperor and his romance with a
defiant princess.
