Finally managed to watch the movie in the big screen.
I quite enjoyed the movie. Needless to say it was grand from the word go.
What I liked about the movies is the subtlety of romance between the lead pair and Hrithik's acting skill. I am no big fan of Hrithik, but have to admit that he was a treat to watch.
And what I didn't like was Aishwariya. Aishwariya was beautiful in all that gorgeous cholis and jewellery, but she did not do justice to the character. Ashutosh has etched a strong female character in the 16th century which unfortunately did not come across in the movie.
Especially in the scene when she puts forth her conditions and her actions in the sword fighting skills made me think that she had watched 'Crouching tiger....' many many times.
About the historical inaccuracy....... when the school history books change according to the government, how can we except correct history (if ever there is one such thing) from a bollywood movie ?
