* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Is Akbar a benevolent ruler doing what he thinks is best for the country and trying to negotiate peace between various ethnicities and religions... or is he a self-important tyrant with no regard for human life, drenched in what we now would call toxic masculinity? The story honestly allows for both interpretations; Jodha weeping and fearing for her son, Salim himself delivering long diatribes against his father later on, and the Sculptor sneering about Akbar's injustice certainly do not help.

* ValuesDissonance: A lot of it, the most obvious being the whole ParentalMarriageVeto and class inequality thing, on which the plot hinges. Salim's behaviour towards Anarkali is downright abusive at times; Jodha is absolutely mortified when [[spoiler: her supposedly loving husband Akbar declares that she's no longer his wife, which leads her to choose her marriage over the very life of her only son.]]

* LesYay: Bahar's exchange with another, unnamed courtesan (when the former is seen wearing a crown) is... oddly homoerotic.
