![]() ![]() The shift to the contemporary tourist spot of Akbar Ka Makbara was relevant though as the intention was to show that the spirits of Jodha and Emperor Akbar (Rajat Tokas) are still alive four hundred years after their demise, which we did like. Why were the opening shots of idols of various Hindi Gods and Goddesses in a contemporary set up? Jodha (Paridhi Sharma) in the series is shown as a princess in the ancient city of Amer. The serial had an opening which did not really seem to have any connection with the historic theme of the show. Agreed that Producer Ekta Kapoor’s team has travelled the lengths and breaths of India and has researched extensively for this biopic but somehow the vast historical research hasn’t been fused in with the fictional element with subtle artistry. This soul of the serial lacks the archaic touch. In Zee TV’s Jodha Akbar (Balaji Telefilms) there may be ancient palaces and historic battles being re-created but the antique touch seems to be just on the exterior. The pre-requisite of a historical biopic is that there should be a quaint flavour.
