Jodhaa! Akbar! Hyperventilate!

I just saw a rather bad quality copy of the theatrical trailer for Jodha Akbar (epic about Muslim Emperor Akbar (Hrithik Roshan) and his Hindu wife Jodha (Aishwarya Rai)) and all I can say is...

Hrithik. Fighting a Battle Elephant. In the arena.

I think I have found a perfect movie.

Kthnks bye. I am off for a lie down.

I mean, this dude. Fighting an elephant. Doesn't it just make your day?



Here is the movie poster, btw:





And because I feel like it, caps of Aishwarya and Hrithik from Dhoom 2



Seeing her for the first time:



Seeing her in the club:







OTPing:



















I am so amused by this pic of Aish's on screen significant other and her real life husband:



Oooooh:



Nothing like heist planning to get a girl in the mood:



Random hotness:

Oh my god, where, where, where?

Youtube. Just type in 'jodhaa akbar' and it's going to pop up.

But seriously, the quality is extraordinarily lousy (I think someone must have filmed it on their cell). If I wasn't so obsessed I would have waited for a more decent quality trailer.

You had me going at battle elephants and arenas but then I saw her facial jewelry and was scared by it all over again.

The random hotness was, indeed, hot, though.

I don't think she is going to wear this outfit except for the wedding. This is bridal decoration. So I think you are safe if you can close your eyes for five minutes :)

And it's going to have battles, and fights in arenas, and sword-fighting between hero and heroine...

*tempts*

Well, As long as she doesn't have that giant, highly snaggable ring in her nose the whole time.

I shall use Asoka to judge Bollywood swordfighting. I shall possibly watch it while I'm off this week, depending on whether or not Farscape comes by then and if I start obsesively bingeing.

BTW, finished, loved and posted on pride.

Off to read your Pride post.

The DVDs should get there late this week, at the latest, I hope. (I couldn't locate the very last disc with the last two eps of the season in time, so I'll be mailing that on Monday. But I doubt you are going to finish 20eps so fast that it would make a difference).

Asoka is lovely. This is a bit different though.

I swear looking at Hrithik is bad for my health:P He is soooo hot...it should be illegal ^^

Ahhh...where did you see the trailer?! I can't believe there is one out...yay!!

He is so hot it's like some glorious genetic mutation.

Trailer is on youtube (just type in 'jodhaa akbar' but it's truly dreadful quality copy.

... I think I've died and gone to heaven.

Checking out the trailer asap! :D

I saw the trailer in the theater today, and I think I might have gasped out loud...

Oh man, you're making me want to watch Dhoom 2 again, and I didn't even like it that much. Just the two of them (obviously). And MAN, I forgot how FRIGGIN HOT BUT ALSO ADORABLE Hrithik was in that movie. :)

[identity profile] dangermousie.livejournal.com 2007-10-15 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
D2 was Hrithik and Aish for me. The rest kinda dragged or wasn't that interesting, but every time they were on screen...whoa.

Now I need to check out the trailer as well, however bad the quality. *off to youtube*

[identity profile] dangermousie.livejournal.com 2007-10-15 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
The quality of trailer on youtube is sucky but I just saw it in the theater and it's mindbogglingly awesome. Plus, even 3+ minutes of Hrithik made me hormonal :)
