Here r my thoughts on new promo where Jalal is burning Jodha's portrait ..

I guess he burned the portrait because first time he is afraid of doing something which he should not .. that is falling in love ... so he is burning the portrait because he wants to force himself to hate Jodha and only treat her as one of the showpieces he will bring to his harem ... but he is developing a certain respect and attachment towards her which I feel he wants to fight out and so he burns it out ... its more like he is reminding to himself that somethings r meant to b burnt 😉😛

He is more or less fighting with his own feelings here while burning the portrait .. it will b interesting to see this post marriage even more .. the way he will b in denial but find it tough not to fall for her 😉😳

@manasi ! Wow what a brilliant take woman ! 👏 you are included in my list of reviewers who can so easily make a dull episode so insightful ! 🤗
And even I had mentioned for the sujamal epi ! That despite not AkDha focus the story moves with sujalamal , adham ki entry and jodha coming to know of maina ka plan ! 👍🏼
And wow you did such an awesome job writing in detail the undercurrent similarity in both the clans ! 👏 that's what we discussed in EDT when Jalal goes to save Abdul ! That Jalal is just not a lifeless animal or something ! He too values trust , honesty loyalty etc a lot ! It's just that he has different (say cruel) ways to punish the people who break them ! also love how u said deciet, selfishness, etc is prevalent on the Rajput side too, but just they aren't as volatile as Mughals in showing it or say practicing it lol ! 😛

Hi joyoti! Very nicely analysed... I too hope that there are more Akdha scenes. I want Jalal to miss Jodha. I hope the Mughals attack Amer as quickly as possible and Jalal makes the marriage deal with King Bharmal. Then there will be alot of Akdha moments! Super excited

I beg to differ here 😳 I dun think he's burning the portrait coz of doing something he should not that is falling in love... Just my view, I think he's burning the portrait coz he dun want other people to admire the portrait... 😳... He wants to own her, coz yes he was attaracted with her beauty but more than that, she dared to put sword on his neck. No woman would have done it to him even in his dreams...he dun love her of course ATM, but I think he has lust towards her... ... He wants to own her n make her bow down to him... Later on he might fall in love with her 😳

My dear Mansi,

You are really an original, and this analysis is very interesting, indeed fascinating. As with your piece of last week, I find this one too refreshing and hatke. Also clever, in that you are deciding on a theory and then fitting the facts, carefully chosen and interpreted, to fit the theory. That is what most scholars do, so you are in very good company!

I have reservations and differences of opinion about each of your four points, but discussing those will take time and it is nearly 2 am here now, so I will keep that for later today. You might also like to take a look at my omnibus post on the whole of the last week - Jodha Akbar this week - 15-19: Palace Power Plays, at http://www.india-forums.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3665391. My take on the last week was rather different, and I was quite satisfied with it.

Just one point here. We all seem to forget that Ekta is surely planning a minimum of 500 episodes for this opus of hers. We will be only at No.20 on Monday. So, at a conservative estimate, the Jodha--Jalal marriage should come in at 10% of the total duration, say, or at Episode 50, if not later. If it comes soon now, what on earth are they going to do - show the budding love affair for the next 475 episodes? I am sure she is not going on till 1605 and Akbar's death, despite her penchant for leaps. I think she will stop with him in mid-reign, say 1570 or so, after the birth of Salim, for after that it was all administration and conquests, not imperial family affairs, bar the falling out between Akbar and Salim.

So, my own assessment is that we are going to have a lot more of non-Jodha-Jalal material for a while yet, and that is as it should be. If it was to be only the central romance, why make a historical at all?

More later. Once again, your post was great fun.

Friends, I sense that most of us on this thread are going to vent our frustrations that the whole serial is not moving as fast as we would like. Here, all that we are dying for is this quick shaadi of Jodha and Jalal, and then a slow dance of growing love between them to enjoy at leisure week after week. Instead we have had one whole week of just seeing her background (a bit here and there) and his background (a lot of it). Only yesterday did we even see Jalal's thoughts of Jodha and Jodha's thoughts of Jalal rekindled.

Dear Jyoti,

A very comprehensive and sound analysis, and very well put together under the different heads as well. It is good that the initiative of having a weekly analysis thread is being kept up.

My own take on last week is rather different, as you can see, if you have the time and the inclination, at http://www.india-forums.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3665391,Jodha Akbar this Week - 15-19 : Palace Power Plays . I was perfectly satisfied with it, as it focussed on character development, even if it was not so dramatic as the week before.

But we are completely of one mind on Jodha's strange descent on Bhanpur (by the way, how many weeks would it have taken her to be carried all that way in a palki? 2 months?), and on a number of other points as well.

This apart, as I have written to Mansi above, I think those wanting an early move on to the Jalal-Jodha marriage are not taking Ekta's business compulsions into account - she would be planning for at least 500 episodes, and that will need a lot of non-Jodha-Jalal material. It is a historical, after all, and 170 hours will need a very substantial amount of footage. So, it would be as well for all of us to possess our souls in patience, only hoping that the Jalal-Jodha scenes are really well visualised and developed, for they will demand great skill on the part of the script writers, and this is not a commodity in ample supply among TV serial writers. But the Jodha Akbar team seems to be much better than the norm, so one can be optimistic!
