The movie is all about how Jodha (Aishwarya) tortured Akbar (Hritik roshan) and avoided going to bed with him. The director takes over three and half hours to tell us how Akbar started his family life.
The movie should have been rightfully named zyaada Akbar, as it is a long movie. Sharukh Khan who was hosting the filmfare awards this year, asked
Q. what is the similarity between Deepika Padukone and Jodha Akbar?
A. Both are good, but a little long :)
Well, I guess he was just being a little nice on the stage when saying that the movie was good.
Hritik Roshan was a total misfit for the role. I think that the role deserved someone more commanding. No justice was done to the role of the great emperor Akbar. The seriousness was missing from the movie. Aishwarya is aging and that is very clear from the movie. She is also putting on weight and it is very evident from the second half of the movie (Abhishek Bachhan Effect). The story should have been more crisp. The movie moves at a very slow pace and at places very dragging.
I just hope that the director has not skewed with history much. I am not an expert on history, but at places I was forced to think if what was happening on the screen was true. - Like Jodha going to the battle field to witness the fight between Akbar and his brother in law ( I forget his name). Even the sword fight between Akbar and Jodha look very unrealistic.
Except for one song, there is not much to expect from the music.
I just feel that I wasted a few hours watching the movie.

I agreed with everything you said about the movie including whether Jodha's arrival at the battle scene was true at all. But I disagree Hrithik was misfit. He did act well despite his flaring nostrils.
