Icy
Rediff's (R. Sen's) review of Jodhaa-Akbar stands contrastingly far away from those of Mercedes-gifted and gilted reviewers on sites whose names mysteriously sound like national radio stations, when they aren't.
To quote one of the most generous lines in his review: "The director can handle romance and emotional conversations well, as we are well aware, and war is just not his forte. Soldiers charge at each other visibly trying to hold back, and while I'm sure hundreds or thousands of extras are impossible to control, the battle sequences are amateurish to an embarrassing extreme. They might have worked if shown in fits and spurts, swords thrust strongly in rapidly edited montages set to a peaking score, but here we are shown long and tiresome battle sequences -- scenes where we see extras twirling weapons and jabbing the air pointlessly. Tsk."
Wow! Why don't you tell us how you really feel there, babumoshai?
