Movie: Jodhaa Akbar (2008)

“Jodhaa Akbar is a sixteenth century love story about a marriage of alliance that gave birth to true love between a great Mughal Emperor, Akbar and a Rajput princess, Jodhaa. Politically, success knew no bounds for Emperor Akbar, After having secured the Hindu Kush, he furthered his realm by conquest until his empire extended from Afghanistan to the Bay of Bengal, and from the Himalayas to the Godhavari River. Through a shrewd blend of tolerance, generosity and force, Akbar won the allegiance of the Rajputs, the most belligerent Hindus. But little did Akbar know that when he married Jodhaa, a fiery Rajput princess, in order to further strengthen his relations with the Rajputs, he would in turn be embarking upon a new journey – the journey of true love. The daughter of King Bharmal of Amer, Jodhaa resented being reduced to a mere political pawn in this marriage of alliance, and Akbar’s biggest challenge now did not merely lie in winning battles, but in winning the love of Jodhaa – a love hidden deep below resentment and extreme prejudice. Jodhaa Akbar is their untold love story. Written by hEmRaJ (gavin_coolhgr@hotmail.com)”

Goofs: Factual errors: In the scene where Maham Anga raises the issue of food-testing by the chef, she says to Akbar and the royal courts men… “Khud Jahaanpanah is baat par inkaar-e-harf nahin utha sakte,” meaning “The emperor himself doesn’t have the privilege/authority to raise objections on this issue.” The actual phrase is “Harf-e-Inkaar.” Harf meaning letter/word/point and Inkaar meaning “denial/objection.” The “E” in such phrases is the Persian/Urdu style of addressing possessive forms of words. The order of the words was erroneously reversed, which changed the meaning of the sentence! Harf-e-Inkaar = Word of objection, Inkaar-e-Harf (wrong!) = Objection of word… (doesn’t exist).
