Beautiful History Lesson December 10, 2009
Charles Corrigan (Dallas, Texas, USA)

He's pretty. She's pretty. The sets and costuming are gorgeous. The Moghul conquest of India never looked so good. The film has war elephants, whirling dervishes and a sassy Hindu eunuch. Now, that's entertainment. There's nothing like seeing an historical costume drama that was filmed at the very palaces and fortresses where the history took place. The story is pedestrian: Moghul emperor finds Rajputi princess, Moghul emperor loses Rajputi princess, Moghul emperor gets Rajputi princess back. However, it is told in an appealing way interwoven into a theme of religious tolerance that speaks to today's India, not to mention the rest of the world.
Blu-ray version is a keeper December 4, 2009
M. Aiyub (San Fran, CA USA)
Picture quality on the blu-ray version is excellent and it does have English sub-titles. Has menu for chapters and songs. Definitely recommended if you can find one!
 Outstanding! November 28, 2009

This is a movie I will probably have to buy again due to the fact that I have worn the disks out! Bollywood movies are so much better than Hollywood. This one is one of my favourites. Of course Hrithik is absolutely gorgeous, and Aishwarya is her usual stunning self. The chemistry between them really makes the film believable. What I loved the most was the subtle romance between the two, there was no need for explicit scenes to get the message across to the viewer that the two were falling in love. The acting was superb. I could literally feel the emotion coming out of the screen. I actually don't mind the subtitles, I think it would spoil the "atmosphere' of the movie if it was dubbed. I love the sound of the language the men speak so passionately, and the women are so feminine. This was a wonderful way to spend a lazy afternoon! I am fast becoming addicted to Bollywood movies. Call me a hopeless romantic, but I'm off to watch it again!

I cannot speak to whether this version is missing scenes or songs, but what was provided was the most stunning visual experience a movie could hope to provide. The music was rich, you could almost smell and taste the meal prepared by Jodhaa, and the romance was full of charm. There is little lacking in this masterpiece. I can't get the colors and the imagery out of my head. I bought it because my sister in law raved about it and I'm so glad I did. I am anxious to share it with others who have not experienced it!
Picture quality just fine November 1, 2009

I was worried when I read other reviews before buying that the picture quality would be bad. We had rented the movie via Netflix before buying it on Amazon, and the picture was great on the rental. So I thought worst case scenario I'd support the artists by buying the discs, then if quality was too awful I'd get a pirated version somewhere else. Not my style but I really liked the movie.
But the quality was just fine, plus there are some bonus postcards that were kind of a cool surprise.
I don't have a widescreen TV to skew the image and I didn't see the theatrical release of the movie to miss any songs, so for the average consumer like me I think it's a good buy.
Note the third "extras" disc was not so good quality and there were some interview subjects whose audio was so muffled we had no idea what they were saying. It didn't detract from our enjoyment of the movie and we are still glad we bought the three-disc collector's edition. If you have reasonable expectations, I think you will be glad too.
