Though the film touches many aspects, both political and emotional, the writers manage to keep it uncomplicated.

The writers (Haider Ali and Gowariker himself) effectively mix historical facts with fiction to create a watchable film. The rest of the film deals with the developing relationship between the two as well as the rule of Akbar during that period. Faced with a dilemma, he decides to marry his daughter, Jodhaa to Akbar. Meanwhile, the Rajput ruler of Amer, who is also against wars, decides to join his hands with Akbar, incurring the wrath of other Rajput rulers. When Jalal is old enough to take over, he resorts to more peaceful ways of expanding his control and uniting Hindustan under the Mughal rule. His next few years are spent waging wars under the guidance of Bairam Khan. The film begins when a young teenager, Jalaluddin Mohammad (who will later be known as Akbar), is forced to take over the reigns of the kingdom due to the death of his father, Humayun. Director Ashutosh Gowariker ( Swades, Lagaan) shows us that it can be done even if he takes too much time. Finally, we have a notable entry in the historical genre in the form of Jodhaa Akbar.

That is primarily because movies like Subhash Ghai’s disastrous offering Kisna and the way-off-the-mark Asoka by Santosh Sivan are being dished out in the guise of landmark films. Period films aren’t common in Hindi cinema and they don’t work well at the box office.
