'Jodhaa Akbar' continues to impress at a 68%, box office opening disappointing

'Jodhaa Akbar' continues to impress at a 68%, box office opening disappointingAshutosh Gowarikar's magnum opus Jodhaa Akbar continues to earn impressive reviews and has climbed to a 68%, up from the 64% it had earlier yesterday. It is enough to earn it a 'Good' tag, and is 2% away from a 'Very Good' tag (to see how verdicts are calculated, click here). Of the 20 reviews we now have for the film, 16 have been positive, 1 has been average and ther remaining three have been negative.

If the rating holds up, it would be slightly better than Gowarikar's last film Swades, which earned a 67%. However, we should have many more reviews for the film over the weekend, so it's rating can go up or down drastically over the next several days so be sure to keep checking this space.

The general consensus is that the film is shot on a grand scale and is visually impressive, with good performances from the lead cast. However, it's length is a major drawback as all the negative reviews point to it. However, due to the film's subject, it would have been difficult to make the film substantially shorter.

Meanwhile, as reported earlier, the initial box-office collections in Mumbai stood between 75 percent and 80 percent - not a handsome percentage for a film made on a whopping Rs. 400 million budget. The fact that Jodhaa Akbar has not been released at many city multiplexes, except the PVR chain, could be another reason for its discouraging box office performance.
