In 2008, Bollywood released an epic film directed and produced by Ashutosh Gowwariker, Jodha and Akbar. Starring Hrithik Nagrath Roshan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. The amazing love story of one of the most famous emperors of India and a beautiful princess is an epic saga from the 16th century. A very beautiful film with great scenery and costumes.
This is a story not only about love, but also about a political marriage of convenience between the Mughal emperor Akbar and the Rajput princess Jodha. Akbar is a Muslim, and the Rajput princess Jodha is a Hindu. At a time when Muslims and Hindus had a deep dislike for each other, their union was intended not only to unite two hearts, but also two religions. But did Akbar know that when he marries Jodha in order to further strengthen his relationship with the Rajputs, he will face a new test – the knowledge of true love, and Akbar’s main problem will be winning her heart.
The film is filled not only with great scenes, but also with amazingly beautiful music, with an ethnic Indian flavor. So in the episode of the wedding ceremony, Sufi dervishes perform a song for their emperor, filled with a deep feeling of love and purity of faith.
In the Turkish TV series “The Magnificent Age”, the dervishes, just like here, sing a song-prayer, only in a secret cave. An amazing spectacle from the inside.
As if in continuation of this film, director Santram Varma in 2013 releases an exciting Indian series that reveals the story of the great love between the Mughal emperor and the Rajput princess, in more detail and with numerous details.
