In a delicate and affecting scene, the crafty Ila Arun (playing Akbar’s wet-nurse) enters the kitchen grounds where countless heaps of vegetables are scattered about, and bursts into a rendition of “Mooli ke peeche kya hai”. However, things nearly go perilously wrong when she misinterprets an order for a “24-carrot salad” and slips some of her rubies and emeralds into the dish, causing the emperor’s courtiers to suffer from indigestion for days afterward. So she takes over the royal kitchen and sets about preparing a large vegetarian meal for him with her own hands. (Aishwarya’s eyes widen: she never got to see such gory things in the Bachchan household except when Amar Singh and Shah Rukh came visiting at the same time.)Īnyway, after watching Akbar’s topless swashbuckling, Jodha decides that the way to a man’s eight-pack abs is through his stomach. The newlywed Jodha, wholly unaccustomed to the brutal ways of the Mughals, watches aghast as her husband has a traitor thrown to his death from the roof (cue bone-crunching sound) and then has him thrown off again when the job isn’t finished. Also, there are culture shocks that must be dealt with. This puts the future of the Empire in jeopardy. Sadly the marriage remains unconsummated because by the time J and A have finished removing all those layers of jewellery they are no longer horny and only wish to sleep. But what really puts his courage to the test is when he agrees to wed the Hindu princess Jodha to complete a political alliance: her long list of demands includes the right to sing bhajans loudly in the next room while he is discussing matters of state with his viziers. To prove that he is worthy of ruling the country, Akbar then takes on a wild elephant in a scene that is reminiscent of Hrithik’s superhero-racing-the-horse in Krrish. Unfortunately for Bairam, the boy-prince soon grows up and dispenses with his services. Meanwhile, on the Mughal side of things, there is Bairam Khan, a good old-fashioned medieval psychopath who uses his official status as guardian for the boy-prince Akbar to nurture a very personal fetish for lopping off enemy heads. (As the maharajah of Amer, Kulbhushan Kharbanda looks and sounds like he has serious breathing problems, and little wonder given the number of heavy necklaces weighing him down at all times.) (Like a stern father-in-law keeping a watchful eye on Aishwarya after that kiss in Dhoom 2, Bachchan’s presence looms large here: not only does he do these ponderous voiceovers but Sonu Sood, the actor who plays Jodha’s protective brother Sujamal, strongly resembles the young Amitabh – the moustached Amitabh of Reshma aur Shera, for example, or even Ganga ki Saugandh - from many angles.) Most of the historical information is tedious and complicated, though there’s a certain fun to be had in seeing the kings of Hindustan depicted as petulant little boys, sulking, whimpering and clinging to their thrones when faced with the prospect of being made vassals. The first few minutes give us the background on the many political intrigues of the time, in the stentorian but much-too-familiar voice of Amitabh Bachchan. Anyway, this is roughly what happens, or what I could make out as I drifted in and out of sleep: Unfortunately, most of the rest of the film makes a half-hearted stab at telling us about various things that may or may not have occurred in the mid-16th century. With just a minor alteration in setting and costume, it could easily have come out of Dhoom 2, a film that was a fine showcase for this same couple.Īs it happens, this is one of the most assured scenes in Jodhaa Akbar. The scene exists completely independent of context – it’s about Hrithik as the ultimate alpha-male preening like a peacock (an inordinately muscular peacock) for Aishwarya it’s about sending vicarious thrills through star-struck moviegoers of both sexes. Take the magnificently show-offish moment where a shirtless Akbar ( Hrithik Roshan) displays his swordsmanship while Jodha ( Aishwarya Rai) watches in womanly awe. This film is really at its most authentic when it abandons all pretence that it was made for any reason other than to bring together Bollywood’s two most beautiful people (and a lot of shiny jewellery). It turns out that the controversy about historical authenticity in Jodha Akbar has been such a waste of everyone’s time.

Everyone gets a dramatically awesome hair make-over(or not, in a lot of cases) and there's always some menstrual case whining(except for cycle 8, where when no one whined enough, they had to take out Jael's cute extensions just to really irritate). The first is always the make-over episode, generally 3 or 4 episodes in. Of course, there are usually some episodes throughout the season/cycle that break the robotedness. The photo shoots are generally the second best thing in the show, second only to the pictures that are shown during panel. The first is usually some sort of contest to depict who can do the best at something stupid. The girl's are then sent to a few things, sometimes in a different order. There's fighting, there's laughing, there's the focus(usually) on the girl who is going to be ceremoniously sacked by the end of the episode. Almost all the episodes after that generally go like this: we open with the b*tches, I mean "aspiring models" in Tyra's ego-house. The Tyra makes a series of cuts to get down to the top 10, 12, 13, or 14 contestants. Then we go through 30-something young girls who get flown in to some city for an in-person interview of sorts so Tyra can get a glimpse of their TV personalities and hear sob stories. How far she made me, how she struggled, how she is(or was, depending on who you favor) #1. Anyway, let's go through a typical season, or cycle, I should say, because Tyra has to be menstrual.(I stole that from someone funny.) The first episode generally starts a clip show with a Tyra-logue about modeling. It really is too bad a lot of them are in denial. Who is picked and who is sent home is so contrived everyone can see straight through it. Alright, anyone with a brain could tell that this show is a little unfair.

If you can find a better way to convey all the information while remaining succinct, feel free to re-write it. Currently the synopsis just says the gameplay is 'avoiding enemies and popping bubbles' -Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.15.17.33 ( talk) 21:23, 20 October 2009 (UTC) That is covered. The game description does not state the most crucial aspect of the game which is to shoot bubbles at enemies, thus trapping the enemy inside - and then 'popping' these bubbles before they decompose, releasing the enemy. but not all are equally intriguing, that must be said. bubble trajectories, too short bubble popping time, very short hurry up time or even no hurry up time at all, very fast or very slow bubbles, bubbles that "drop" instead or rising, special bonuses etc. ( Garrett, 21:27,, GMT)Īctually, each level has got some special feature (e.g. I guess they're implying that the puzzles and twists aren't really "intriguing" as each level is fairly similar to the one before it, unlike in, say, Rastan, where you have a completely different and more challenging level each time you progress, whereas with this game the progressive levels are (as such) mostly the same. "The game featured 100 levels, each with intriguing puzzles and twists."Ĭare to provide a more accurate comment? Homer Jay 15:19, 2005 Apr 6 (UTC)

I have tried from the web UI as well as by using a direct URL of the `/sh/dl/` format (I believe both invoke the same operation in the end), but both downloads end up in the above (store-only) zip format. Is there a way to force Dropbox to actually compress/deflate the content, when downloading a folder as a zip file? When I extract the zipfile and compress the content again (using a standard `zip -r` command), I get ~15% deflation (resulting file is 6564K, whereas the originally downloaded zip was 7623K - a ~14% overall reduction). I'm not an expert but I believe this means that Dropbox is storing the zip content using STORE method (instead of actually compressing them, such as via DEFLATE algorithm). When I check a downloaded folder zip-file with `7z l ` (or the 7-Zip UI, or other zip tools like `unzip`), I see that each file's compressed size is the same as the original file size: GTA 5 For Android APK Download Free GrowBox.APK Free Download HD Cinema.APK Free Download.
