Set in the sixteenth century, this epic romance begins as a marriage alliance between two cultures and religions, for political gain, with King Bharmal of Amer giving his daughter's hand to Emperor Akbar.

When Akbar accepts the marriage proposal, little does he know that in his efforts to strengthen his relations with the Rajputs, he would in turn be embarking on a new journey- the journey of true love. From the battlefield where the young Jalauddin was crowned, through the conquests that won him the title of Akbar the Great, to winning the love of beautiful Jodhaa, Jodhaa Akbar traces the impressive graph of the mighty emperor and his romance with the defiant princess.
