The marriage was one of compromise,and Jodha Bai preferred jauhar over marriage to a Muslim King. Yet,the marriage happened and love brewed between the patient,tolerant Emperor and the brave Queen. The story is a story of love,politics and war set in the Mughal era which distinctly portrays the age,the behavior,the costumes,religious practices in the best way possible. The set and locations chosen are grand and the costume has been created after lot of research. The screenplay depict certain historical flaws. The grave situations and majestic events have been diluted with a lot of melodrama at certain places.
