A 2008 Bollywood period movie that rivals ''Titanic'' in extravagance. The movie was made with a 400 million Rs. budget to support elaborate sets, period costumes and jewelery, battle scenes, A-list actors, and [[Filmi Music|Rahman]]. The story centers around sixteenth century Mughal Emperor Akbar (played by dreamy, green-eyed Hritik Roshan) and his Rajput wife, Jodhaa (played by Aishwarya Rai's [[Everything's Sparkly Withwith Jewelry|jewelry]]). The two are forced into marriage because Akbar wanted the Rajputs' allegiance. Akbar is Muslim and Jodhaa is Hindu, but despite their differences they slowly (and <s>predictably</s> charmingly) fall in love. As the romance progresses and Jodhaa becomes more influential, vague political tension builds in Akbar's court. ''Very'' Abusive of the [[Ermine Cape Effect]].

=== This movie contains ===
Line 19:
* [[Estranged Soap Family]]: Akbar's mother, who claims to have been away for fifteen years when her son was growing up.
* [[Estrogen Brigade Bait]]: Hrithik Roshan, pretty much the only man in Bollywood handsome enough to stand next to [[Aishwarya Rai]] without invoking [[Ugly Guy, Hot Wife]].
* [[Exiled to Thethe Couch]]: Jodhaa does this with ''style''.
* [[Evil Stepmother]]: Akbar's wet nurse/surrogate mother hates Jodhaa. She's also an [[Evil Chancellor]], which might raise some [[Unfortunate Implications]]. His biological mother actually likes Jodhaa, but seems to have political responsibilities which keep her away from her son and daughter-in-law a lot.
* [[Everything's Better Withwith Princesses]]
* [[Evil Is Cool]]: Completely subverted.
* [["Falling in Love" Montage]]: Jashn-E-Bahaara. This is interrupted by...
Line 42:
* [[Rule of Drama]]: Jodhaa and Akbar are increasingly happy with one another {{spoiler|And then Akbar is led to believe she was going to murder him}}. Cue dramatic prairie dog music.
* [[Second Act Breakup]]: Quite literally, as it happens right before [[Intermission]]. Thankfully it's resolved relatively quickly.
* [[Stranger in Aa Familiar Land]]: Jodhaa in the beginning of the second half.
* [[There Is Only One Bed]]: But Jodhaa quickly finds a solution for that...
* [[This Is My Side]]: ... And it's this!
