A Jodha-Akbar museum!

A thing of beauty is a joy forever. Painstakingly crafted with a keen eye for detail, the sets of Jodha Akbar lent the much needed feeling of grandeur to the movie set around the prosperous Mughal and Rajputana empires. Now, that the movie has been released the sets that were built for the purpose can be dismantled. But the makers of Jodha Akbar seem to have something else in mind. After all it is not easy for anyone with a creative slant of mind to ruthlessly pull down a piece of art, that too one that has generated such a positive buzz wherever it has been shown on the big screen.

Yes, the magnificent sets of Jodha Akbar will not be pulled down, they will remain a testimony to the effort and time that went into their making. They will rightfully be opened up for the public get a first hand experience of how it looks. After all a 2 dimensional view on the big screen, however well shot cannot match the 3 dimensional experience of real life. The plans will be rolled out soon. Of course, the public will have to pay a nominal fee, but the perfection of the sets justifies that. The man behind the idea is the man who made the sets himself, Nithin Chandrakanth Desai of ND studios.

Hats off to him for turning the wheel of time to take us back to the times of Akbar and lets hope that this adds to the rich tourist attractions of our country.
