Jodhaa Akbar is a sixteenth century love story about a political marriage of convenience between a
Mughal emperor,
Akbar, and a
Rajput princess, Jodhaa.
Political success knew no bounds for Emperor Akbar (Hrithik Roshan). After having secured the
Hindu Kush, his empire extends from
Afghanistan to the
Bay of Bengal, and from the Himalayas to the
Narmada River. Through a shrewd blend of diplomacy, intimidation and brute force, Akbar won the allegiance of the Rajputs. This allegiance was not universal.
Maharana Pratap and many other Rajputs always considered Akbar as a foreign invader. Maharana Pratap also banned inter marriages between Rajputs who had given their daughters to the
Mughals and the ones who did not. But little did Akbar know that when he married Jodhaa (
Aishwarya Rai), 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 Akbars biggest challenge now lies in winning the love of Jodhaa a love hidden deep below resentment and extreme prejudice
