My dear Ela,
It is good to be back in touch with you after a while. I am so glad that you like my JA posts, and this one as well, for I know you for a serious critic, and a demanding one!
Once the Jalandhar track ended in DKDM, I lost interest in writing anything about that serial, though I still watch it regularly. There was nothing left to discuss and analyse, and the current Ramayana track will be more of the same It was bizarre that when Kaushalya was giving birth to Rama, the other two queens, who must also have been expecting their deliveries any moment, were standing around decked out like Christmas trees😉. Later, Dasharath seemed surprised at the very thought of his having more sons😉. Did he not remember that the other 2 queens were to give birth any time at all? It is all nuts., and I think Utkarsh is sleepwalking thru these episodes, as is most of the cast, including the new Parvati, who looks like Mahadev's shishya, not his ardhangini. his equal other.
In comparison with that, Jodha Akbar, with such a complex, conflicted and fascinating central character, was manna from Heaven, no less! I agree that this Jodha is nowhere near up to the mark, she lacks both stature and the regal air that is necessary for the role, and when she tries to project aakrosh, it is even worse. It is a pity that Sonarika did not move out of DKDM 3 months earlier; she would have made a perfect Jodha. - really beautiful, regal, gracious and fiery as the need arises.
Of course Jalal knows that she was actually targeting a likely Mughal spy, but then he also knows that she would have reacted even more fiercely if she had known it was he! Plus it is the actual physical helplessness at that moment that galls him. It is to be noted that contrary to her later assertion that he adopted deceit - kapat - the fact is that he does no such thing. He never tells a single lie; it is suppressio veri, not suggestio falsi. As for Suryabhan, he is all hot air, plus he is a lousy artist!😉

Wonderful post and you know I cant resist ur posts...The serial is going good...very good infact...
Doesnt Jalal realze that Jodha didnt humiliate him but rather put her sword on the neck of an ordinary soldier.?Jalal was very interested in hearing abt Jodha when artist was speaking abt her...Infact encouraged her to go on...I am really fed up with boring Suryabhan...plus they should have been more careful while choosing Jodha...
