People may imagine spring is here
Love too, is bewildered
Fragrance upstages the flowers in the garden
Hidden in the veil of nature is a touch of sorrow
The world around us is mellow
Time is slumbering
Lost and forgotten memories fill my heart
What have you done?
You consider him your son, and yet tried to wreck his marriage?
I was only doing my duty.
Duty? I tolerated your misdeeds, you pass off as duty.
I have never interfered.
But enough is enough! This is a limit!
He wasn't the Prince of Ajabgarh...
...but jodhaa's brother, Sujamal.
What?
What about that letter?
Are you even aware of what was written?
jodhaa wrote it before she got married, but never sent it.
And Maham Anga used the letter to poison your mind against her.
I can't believe it, Mother!
Elder Mother, is it true?
This is a blatant lie. I have been wrongly accused!
I'm innocent, Empress!
Silence, Maham Anga!
Lower your voice when speaking to my mother!
Answer my question.
Is it true or not?
Salima will answer this question.
Salima!
Speak up, Salima.
Have no fear. Tell us the truth!
Your Majesty, I brought it to respected Maham Anga's notice...
...that the letter was written before marriage...
...but she threatened me and used the letter for her own ends.
O God!
I have made a terrible mistake...
What have I done?
I gave you the status of a mother...
...and you poisoned my mind against jodhaa?
You have broken my trust in you.
You have erased all the good memories... I had of you!
Is this why I called you 'Elder Mother'?
You have nurtured me all my life.
Only for that, I forgive you!
Nevertheless, from now...
...I will never see your face again.
Bring her back, jalal!
I don't know...
...how I shall face her.
Admitting a mistake only makes love grow deeper.
I am convinced that jodhaa will accept.
- Didn't I tell you, he'd come? - I still can't believe it!
Welcome!
It is an honour and a privilege to have you here in Amer.
May this vermilion mark signify a strong bond between Mughals and Rajputs!
No matter what he says, I will not go back.
But are you not going to welcome him?
Now wipe the frown off your face and draw the veil.
Whom do my son-in-law's eyes seek?
We have a custom in Amer.
When a son-in-law visits for the first time...
...he must find his bride among the women of the palace.
If he succeeds, he gets to stay in his wife's chamber.
And if he fails, he has to sleep under the open sky...
...counting the stars!!
Come! Welcome, son-in-law...
So you finally found your jodhaa!
- Will you come back with me? - No, I'm not going anywhere!
I have come to take you home.
Why do you now refuse?
I will not go back to Agra!
It feels strange being here, alone with you, in this chamber.
It is strange!
But I have a solution...
And what might that be?
This is too harsh a punishment.
Now I cannot see my face...
...reflected in your eyes!
This is unjust!
jodhaa...
jodhaa, I have eXpressed regret.
You can't win me by just eXpressing regret.
But you will never understand this.
I don't understand?
No, you don't!
You know how to wage war and conquer. But do not know how to rule.
What did you say?
That you have only conquered me...
...but not won my heart yet.
This is unfair. I have fulfilled your every wish...
...I have respected every demand of yours...
...I have carried out my duties as a husband!
If that were true...
...you'd never have sent me away without hearing my side.
But this...
But try and understand that considering the circumstances...
...a misunderstanding was inevitable.
But you should have at least tried to know what really happened.
But the truth is that, you are far removed from reality...
...you do not know how to win hearts.
To do that, you need to look into their minds...
...discover their little pleasures and sorrows.
And win their trust. Be one with their heartbeat!
And the day you will succeed in doing that...
...you will rule my heart!
Forgive me, jodhaa.
EXcellent!
Now, if you defeat me...
...you can gladly stay back in Amer.
And if I win...
...then you will have to return with me.
Raise your sword!
Raise it!
EXcellent!
Allah be praised!
Empress of Hindustan...
...do not forget, I am your husband!
Disperse!
O Allah...
There is a saying in Persian:
'Why seek Paradise? It is before me now! '
I will not go back!
Princess!
I won!
This is unfair. Gira interrupted...
Regardless! I won and you lost.
Gira, could you not have waited? You made me lose.
Forgive me. An envoy brings a message for His Majesty.
Ask him to wait.
Forgive her, jodhaa.
Remember, a moment's distraction can prove fatal in battle and can bring...
'... defeat or death.' I know!
Where did you learn to duel so well?
My brother Sujamal taught me the art!
He has taught you well.
I was lucky to have won.
Now prepare to leave.
I will not go.
Now this goes against your protocol.
Being the Empress of Hindustan, you cannot go back on your word.
I do as I please.
- I will not go! - And now, I won't force you.
Do you know why?
My heart says, you will come on your own accord.
You will come.
Because by then... I would have won your heart!
Your Majesty, why are you doing this?
Roaming in the baZaar without guards is dangerous.
Do not worry. No one will recogniZe me.
I'm doing it since there's a difference between conquering and ruling!
To win the hearts of people, one must look into their minds.
Another thing... do not address me as 'Your Majesty'.
Then what do I call you?
Call me jalal.
Where do we start, Mahesh Das?
- Greetings! - Greetings!
Will your eyes only feast or do you even intend to buy anything?
- How much is the grain? - Three coins for a pound.
- The barley? - Two coins for a pound. Shall I pack it?
We'll buy wheat instead.
- Wheat? Two coins for a pound. - Two coins for a pound?!
What can we do? The landowners decide the price.
His prices are sky high.
Looks like you too have dropped from the sky!
You're pockets are empty and you want to buy Agra baZaar?
Take it or leave it!
Insolent fool! Do you know with whom you have an audience?
An audience? Move on!
Let's go. We'll try the neXt shop.
Move on!
Get your fresh tobacco here!
Silence! Arrest him!!
What's going on there?
Master, forgive me.
- We must go back. - No, wait.
This is what I've come to see.
- This Mughal officer is unjust. - Yes, indeed! Too much atrocity!
But he is a loyal officer of the Mughal Court...
- Are you new here? - Yes.
Another blind man in the land of the blind!
Can't you see how these foreigners behave?
- What foreigners? - These Mughals!
They are all outsiders.
The Emperor's court is full of them.
I have heard that, the Emperor is a very good man.
He is doing a lot for the common man. Why not complain to him directly?
Forget it, Mister! We can only complain to our near ones.
And we do not believe that the Emperor is a Hindustani.
The Mughals or any others, they are all outsiders!
Did you know our Emperor was born in Amarkot...
...in a Hindu Rajput home? And raised here too?
So how can you call him a foreigner? He is as much an lndian as you are.
Really? If he is an lndian then what has he done for the common man?
If this Emperor cares so much then...
...why doesn't he abolish the Pilgrim TaX?
The Pilgrim TaX?
Looks like you're new not only to Agra but to the country!
Don't we all Hindus have to pay Pilgrim TaX when we go on pilgrimage?
It does not worry the rich.
But the common man can't pay such taXes. So we suffer...
...but what's the use? Nobody pays any attention.
Let's go!
Coming here incognito has proved most useful, Your Majesty.
Now we know how people perceive the Mughal rule.
What is this Pilgrim TaX?
When the Hindus go on pilgrimage to pray to their Gods...
...they have to pay a taX to the Mughal Treasury.
Do you also pay this taX?
- Yes, Your Majesty! - So why didn't you object?
This is outrageous. A taX to offer prayers to God?
I never thought about it. This taX has been collected for years.
How do we change this?
To all those present!
I want to make an important announcement -
After much deliberation, I have come to realiZe...
...that asking Hindus to pay a taX when they go on pilgrimage...
...is akin to weighing God's glory in coins.
Therefore, I have decided that from today...
...the Pilgrim TaX will be abolished forever!
Your Majesty, it is a wonderful thought.
May I be permitted to comment?
You may.
What is this injustice?
Have you forgotten us?
We, too, have worked hard to build the Mughal Empire.
Our sweat has also cemented the bricks to build the Empire.
We are also your advisors. This is an astonishing decision!
Before deciding, why wasn't our counsel taken?
I felt no need, respected Saadir Adaasi!
Imposing or abolishing a taX is a ruler's decision. The throne decides.
I'm not taking any step against lslam.
It is an administrative decision. Not a religious one!
If that be so...
...then could the Finance Minister...
...Todarmalji kindly eXplain the impact on the Royal Treasury?
Your Majesty, this decision will definitely impact the Royal Treasury.
The Royal Treasury!
I'd like to know what is this Royal Treasury?
What is this Treasury?
We, Mughals, are not like the other invaders...
...who plunder and loot Hindustan of its riches...
...and fill the coffers.
This is my country.
And I will not allow anyone to ravage it!
I want my people to know...
...that regardless of their religion, I will embrace them.
A coin rings out only when it falls, not when picked up.
I request you not to be emotional and make unwise decisions.
Ever since I was a child...
...others have made decisions for me.
I've always been told what must be done.
I want to be free now...
...and do as I see fit!
Todarmalji!
Let it be known...
...that from today, the Pilgrim TaX is forever abolished!
Let the order be carried out!
Long live!
O great and magnificent Emperor
Ruler of Royal Decree
May your life be everlasting
Words alone cannot praise you You are the cornerstone of Hindustan
Hindustan is your life And you are the life of Hindustan
We welcome you in our hearts!
Kingdom of Virat's salutation!
O great and magnificent Emperor
Ruler of Royal Decree
May your life be everlasting
Words alone cannot praise you
You are the cornerstone of Hindustan
Hindustan is your life
And you are the life of Hindustan!
We welcome you in our hearts
The kingdom of Shimalgarh's salutation!
In every town
In every courtyard
Love abounds
In every heart
Our victory...
... Iies in the Emperor
A wind of peace...
... blows across the land
We welcome you in our hearts
O great and magnificent Emperor Ruler of Royal Decree
Empress of Hindustan, jodhaabai has arrived in Diwaan-E-Aam!
I am overwhelmed with happiness to see you here.
I had to come.
After all, you have won my heart!
Your Majesty...
...today your people have wholly accepted you in their hearts.
And hence, your subjects, most humbly...
...wish to bestow on you...
...the title of... 'Akbar'!
jalaluddin Mohammad 'Akbar'!
The title pleases me very much.
I accept it with gratitude.
- jalaluddin Mohammad Akbar! - Long live!
Akbar!
Every heart bears witness to our Emperor's generosity
Wherever he treads, he showers gold on his path
We welcome you in our hearts
Your religion is love
You rule many hearts
No praise can describe you
You are the confluence of all traditions
We welcome you in our hearts
O great and magnificent Emperor!
The Emperor has been struck by an arrow!
There he is!
Allow His Majesty to rest. We will keep you informed of his progress.
'l am very pleased. No praise will do justice to your work.'
'Delhi is within our reach now. Saadir Adaasi'
The arrow's poison is spreading.
His temperature isn't coming down.
Who could have attempted to kill jalaluddin?
- Never mind! My concern is Rajputana. - Meaning?
If jalaluddin survives...
...the Mughal army will spare no one.
And if he dies...
...the Afghans and UZbeks won't let this opportunity slip by.
That's so true, Ranaji.
It will be wise to ignore the needs of others...
...and safeguard our own provinces.
Sujamal...
...we would've helped you...
...but circumstances have changed.
And anyway, your struggle is no more political...
...it has become a family feud.
You must work alone to regain your share of Amer's throne!
We can only offer you our best wishes, nothing more!
jodhaa, his condition is worsening.
O Lord Krishna...
The Emperor has regained consciousness!
May His Majesty live long!
May God give you a long life!
- Please rest. - The Emperor is well again.
The Emperor is well again? The Emperor is well again!
jalal, countless thanks to Allah for giving you a new life.
Mother...
Don't strain, son. You need rest.
Turn the nib and draw a thicker line...
Why did you call me here?
I will show you why. Disperse!
Please be seated.
I have made something special for you.
I'm learning calligraphy.
These are the first words I have learnt to write.
Allah be praised. It is beautiful!
This calligraphy... this writing...
...whatever is written, is beautiful.
Since its your writing, why don't you read it aloud.
No, you must read it yourself.
There's something you must know, jodhaa.
The truth is...
...I cannot read or write!
The battlefield never allowed me to learn, how to read or write.
So now will you read it?
You won't agree this way.
It's an order!
Read it!
A wife does not take her husband's name.
Look into my eyes and say it.
jalaluddin Mohammed Akbar.
"Jodhaa" ...
I want to ask you something...
Please do...
Not here. Come with me.
What was it that you wanted to ask?
I am waiting for the right moment...
Do you love me?
Yes, I do.
And you?
I love you deeply!
In the folds of these moments
Is a relationship so pure
Like a prayer of love the angels recite
The earth is silent The sky is perpleXed
There is light shining from earth to sky
Songs fill the stillness. There is beauty in your every gesture
There is love floating in the air
What love is this?
What dream is this?
What flood of feeling is this?
The days have changed. And nights too. The meaning of life has changed
In the folds of these moments...
What has time done to me? Changed my very being
You have won me I found you
Melting like two gentle melodies
A rhythm, not slow, not fast
In the flame of fire
Our bodies and souls burn in the flame of love
In my garden of dreams
Spring came only because of you
The flowers had my colours
But their fragrance has come from you
What desire and emotion is this?
Why is the heart so restless? Why is the heart so impatient?
The days have changed. And nights too. The meaning of life has changed
In the folds of these moments...
We missed our last chance. That incompetent marksman!
- You mean? - Yes! It was l, who sent the assassin.
Be gone! Our efforts have gone waste.
I'm glad my sister is not widowed.
Sujamal! What's with you? You don't even know whose side you are on.
Greed has blinded you!
I want my rightful share of Amer! You don't know which side to take!
The Emperor is your brother-in-law, Sharifuddin Hussain.
Personal relations cannot interfere with my goals.
You will soon discover I am on your side...
...I want to see you on Amer's throne...
...and you will see me on Delhi's throne. Our pact is firm!
We have only one option now.
Attack Amer at once! We won't get a better opportunity.
Are you with me?
Yes.
Sharifuddin Hussain!
jalal knows you were behind the assassination attempt.
He is furious. Soldiers are coming for us!
Have no fear, Saadir Adaasi Sahib.
Before Agra, we must seiZe Amer!
Amer?
Will Sujamal help you once he is crowned?
Once Amer is in our hands, we will finish Sujamal.
Sharifuddin has planned an attack on Amer.
With Sujamal taking on his side.
End this conflict and give Sujamal his rightful share.
Have no fear!
Yes.
Now about Sharifuddin...
...he must be stopped in Merta, before he reaches Amer.
Banu?
Time is scarce. My husband can kill Sujamal anytime.
jodhaa, stop this battle!
Or else three families will drown in their own blood.
We have to go!
The battlefield is dangerous. Do not go!
Todarmalji, my mind is made up. I must go. Do not worry.
Halt!
Your Majesty, dust is rising on the northern horiZon...
How far are they?
About three miles.
Two miles...
He has arrived too soon.
One mile!
Halt!
Your Majesty, the archers await your command.
No!
I want peace, not war.
Chughtai Khan! Raise the peace flag!
Pardon me, Your Majesty...
...Sharifuddin will misunderstand. He might assume we are weak.
That's precisely what I want.
He must get the wrong idea and commit a mistake.
I understood. Raise the peace flag!
I knew jalaluddin would want to negotiate.
- Manjum Khan! - Yes, Your Majesty.
Raise our flag in acceptance.
And set camp here!
Allah, protect us!
He deliberately did not use elephants.
Because they would have slowed down his pace.
Their army has much food. They can survive a long time.
They can eXtend the battle longer than us.
Many of our soldiers have been misguided to join Sharifuddin's army.
We have to bring them back!
A great battle is won without shedding a single drop of blood.
- Is everything ready? - Yes, Your Majesty.
Make no mistake.
You will infiltrate the Emperor's army and find a way into his tent...
...and at the opportune moment, kill the Emperor!
Also, jalaluddin has told Bharmal...
...to grant Sujamal his rights to Amer's throne.
Make sure Sujamal learns nothing of this.
Once we get rid of the Emperor, Sujamal comes neXt.
Don't ask questions!
We are withdrawing our support of Sharifuddin.
As you command.
Take our men and fight alongside jalaluddin's army.
Hurry! There is very little time.
As you command...
What is the meaning of this?
- Kumbhaa? - What happened? Surprised?
Wasn't he the one you sent to warn jalaluddin?
Yes. Because I wanted to stop you.
If you're a true warrior, then fight jalaluddin on the battlefield.
Not by conspiracy!
Not by conspiracy?
When you asked me to help overthrow King Bharmal...
...wasn't that a conspiracy?
Where was your loyalty then?
On your guard!
Horsemen approaching!
It's Sujamal!
Sujamal!
Warn the Emperor!
Bhagwan Das, pull out the arrows!
Is this Sujamal?
Yes, Your Majesty.
Sharifuddin has sent an assassin disguised as a Royal Guard to kill you.
Take him away!
Thank you, Uncle. I am grateful to you.
You agreed to offer me my share...
I made a mistake... in judging you
O Allah!
jodhaa will be distraught!
She betrayed me!
No, Sujamal. You are mistaken.
It was l, who mistrusted her, and wanted you arrested.
- jodhaa is not at fault. - What?
jodhaa, I misunderstood you and doubted your integrity...
...forgive me...
Don't say that!
I misunderstood you...
...I hurt your honour...
No, brother!
May you stay forever happy!
You are... a great man!
I was wrong... to have not understood you.
What you have done for jodhaa...
...will make future generations honour and respect you...
Banu...
...Sharifuddin is a rebel.
He has committed treason against me.
The only punishment for such a man is death.
justice demands that I kill him.
I don't know if he is right or wrong.
But the need of the hour is...
...to let your spirit of forgiveness guide your decision.
O Allah, what must I do?
First Adham and now Sharifuddin...
...why do my close ones have to fall under the shadow of my sword?
I eXpected this behaviour from you...
...but it is your misfortune that I survived.
I could have made you Governor of other provinces besides Ajmer.
Rebellion results in only one thing... and that is bloodshed.
Didn't you think of 'bloodshed' when you mercilessly killed Adham Khan?
That was a different matter, Sharifuddin.
How unfair!
You can't state the 'rules of the game' and make the moves too.
This time I decide the rules.
I am listening.
If you want, we can prevent bloodshed.
And how is that?
Fight me!
In an arm-to-arm combat.
If I win, then Hindustan will be mine.
And if I lose, I will leave this country forever!
I accept!
This is no way to crush a revolt. Why did you accept?
To prevent bloodshed.
Forgive me, Your Majesty, you forget Sharifuddin is fierce and vicious.
I'm aware of that.
He is a strong man.
But I won't let Hindustan fall in the wrong hands!
Sharifuddin!
If you were not my brother-in-law...
...this spear would have gone through you!
Only for my sister's sake...
...I forgive you!
I am taking back your provinces from you.
You will not be allowed to take any administrative decisions from now on.
As you command.
And all your life... you will remain loyal to me!
Yes, Your Majesty!
- Emperor jalaluddin Mohammad Akbar! - Long live!
Respected Saadir Adaasi Sahib...
...the happiness of life...
...cannot be divided on religious grounds.
I am a follower of lslam... a Muslim!
And yet, I bow my head, in respect for every religion.
The people of my Empire are free...
...to worship and practice their religions.
But it is a shame you failed to understand me.
Now it is my wish.
You dedicate your life to Allah and travel to Holy Mecca!
Now I request the Rajput Empress of Hindustan...
...to join me here.
To all present and the Mughal empire, I say this for the last time -
Queen jodhaa is a Hindu Rajput.
She is my wife.
And the Empress of Hindustan!
Any act against her, is an act against the Mughal empire.
Let one more thing be known to one and all!
Respect and tolerance of every religion...
...will make the future of Hindustan glorious!
So be it!
Anything else for the day, Chughtai Khan?
Only a prayer for your good health.
This was the story of jodhaa Akbar.
Their love story is not a part of folklore.
Nor is their love ever discussed.
Perhaps, it is because... history never gave them any importance.
But the truth is...
... that jodhaa and Akbar, together...
... silently...
... made history!
