Jodhaa Akbar (2008)

Jodhaa Akbar, directed by Ashutosh Gowariker, is the untold love tale of Jalaluddin Mohammad Akbar, the greatest Mughal emperor who ruled Hindustan (now India), and Jodhaa, a fiery young Rajput princess. This epic romance, set in the sixteenth century, begins with a marriage of union between two cultures and faiths for political advantage, with Hindu King Bharmal of Amer marrying his daughter to a Muslim Emperor, Akbar. As Akbar accepts the marriage proposal, he has no idea that he will be embarking on a new path in order to deepen his relations with the Rajputs: the journey of true love. Jodhaa Akbar follows the remarkable graph of the emperor and his romance with a rebellious princess, from the battlefield where the young Jalaluddin was crowned, through the conquests that earned him the title of Akbar the Great, to gaining the love of the beautiful Jodhaa.
