Review of jodha-Akbar
yesterday i went to jodha akbar here in canberra.i have to say wow such a rich picturisation and every moment is so full of emotions.i loved it especially for the rich ness in costumes and jewellery of Aishwarya.it was a feast to the eyes,of late i felt aishwarya is really not looking beautiful,but in this movie she looks more beautiful than ever.hrithik looked as if no one suits better than him for that role,though i felt Aishwarya looked a little too old for him,but never mind.he acted very well as usual.the romance between jodha akbar was so touchy that the memories of the movie didn’t leave me for hours after watching it.the only minus is it was too long,they would have edited it a bit more to make it perfect.ashutosh has proved himself once again.jodha akbar is a master piece.every costume of Aishwarya makes you astonished for a moment,the rich work on the lehengas and dupattas will take you in to the kings and queen times of india.the sword fight by aishwarya was really funny,she fights as if she is doing kathak or bharathnatyam.the fight between the jodha akbar was good to watch.The silent love between jodha and akbar is the land mark of the movie.the music of A.R. Rehman is so excellent and exactly going with the flow of the movie.its a movie that will be remembered for its richness in picturisation,and sensitive subject matter i.e lovestory of a muslim and hindu.i loved the movie to the core.Iam going to buy the DVD as soon as it is released in to the market.overall worth watching.
ripe banana cake,its the easy and quick desert to prepare if you are in a mood to try out something new.this idea stuck to me when i saw a ripe banana in the fruits bowl from 2 days.no one in my home likes to eat ripe banana.instead of throwing it in the bin i thought i should make something useful dish out of it.OK, now coming to what you need to make it.
