JODHAA AKBAR NEW STILLS



Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Abhishek Bachchan, Amitabh Bachchan, Amar Singh, Jaya Bachchan, Hrithik Roshan, Aamir Khan, Kiran rao, Kangna Ranaut, Rekha, Minissha Lamba, Sonali Bendre, at Jodhaa Akbar World Premiere.

Ashutosh Gowariker knows that historicals have to be simplified while narrating on celluloid so that the moviegoer is able to grasp and comprehend the plotline and the sequence of events. Thankfully, JODHAA AKBAR is not in the least difficult to decipher. Gowariker's handling of the subject deserves the highest praise, for it's not everyday that you come across a film like JODHAA AKBAR.

JODHAA AKBAR works because of the right casting. It's difficult to imagine anyone else in the role of Emperor Akbar. Hrithik seems born to play this role and he enacts it with such precision, such flourish, such confidence that it leaves you asking for more. A mind-boggling performance without doubt.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is superb. Oh yes, she looks ethereal -- a compliment she has heard a trillion times before. What's new in that? But watch her emote in this film. You realize the amazing talent that has hitherto not been tapped by any movie maker.

Clinton says Obama relies on 'words'


Ignoring her crushing loss in Wisconsin to rival Barack Obama, Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton pressed her case Tuesday that the Illinois senator offers little more than talk.After his victory speech, Clinton called Obama to congratulate him and the two spoke briefly.The New York senator tried to battle back from her ninth straight loss to Obama since the Super Tuesday contests Feb. 5, vowing to fix trade agreements like the North American Free Trade Agreement, which have disproportionally hurt working-class voters in places like Ohio.The state holds its primary March 4, and Clinton is depending on victories here and in Texas to revive her fading candidacy.
But exit polls in Wisconsin offered ominous warnings for Clinton as she tries to reconstitute her political base in Ohio and elsewhere.Obama defeated her among less educated voters and nearly tied her among white women — two groups that have formed the core of her candidacy. Young voters turned out in droves for Obama, more than offsetting Clinton's advantage among seniors. Wisconsin voters also said the need for change trumps experience 2-to-1.Clinton did her best to push on, bluntly challenging Obama on his fitness to lead.She also addressed the issue of trade — a vulnerability for the former first lady, who championed NAFTA while it was being negotiated during her husband's presidency. She has since become a NAFTA critic and has advocated a "time out" from similar trade agreements.

Pamela Anderson voices against seal hunting in Paris

In a bid to protest against seal hunting in Paris, Pamela Anderson will deliver a letter from animal rights campaigner Brigitte Bardot to the Canadian ambassador.
The former Baywatch star was in the French capital on Valentine's Day to perform a series of burlesque strip shows at the famous Le Crazy Horse club.
The 40-year-old used the opportunity to promote the protection of baby seals and to ask Canada to help prevent seal hunting in the Arctic region.Anderson also called on the fashion industry to stop using animal pelts.The hunt was dead for 20 years, and has been revived, not to honour local customs or conserve cod stocks, but because new markets for fur have opened up in Russia and China she said.

After Mumbai, it was Delhi’s turn to catch Jodhaa Akbar walk down the red carpet at the capital's premiere of Ashutosh Gowarikar's magnum opus.The film has also been in the news for being boycotted in Rajasthan for allegedly distorting historical facts.
And it sure looked like Aishwarya did do her homework, before stepping out to face the controversy.If that doesn't end the matter, Gowarkiar also makes his case for the film.
“I would appeal to all the Rajput conveners to go and watch the film. I want it to release in Rajasthan. It does not hurt their honour,” says Gowariker.
While the ambitious period drama has so far received mixed reviews from critics, the Box Office verdict is still out on this one.
