Jodha Akbar 35: Shahi Shaadi :Opening Gambits - Page 4

excellent analysis by everyone 👏

Amazing Post Aunty👏 As usual.

The episode proper, sans the precap, clocked in at exactly 41 minutes and 2 seconds, including all the repeated montages. I record the telecasts on the HD of my DVD recorder and edit out the ads before watching it for the second time.

The unusually long precap was of 1 minute and 19 seconds. Together, it came to 42 minutes 21 seconds, which would be shown as 43 minutes,.

Aunty...I was waiting so eagerly for this episode's analysis thread by you. 😃

yesterday's episode was such a treat, and i am so excited that whole this week, we'll get one hour special treat. Though even this one hour passes on so quickly!😆

I agree with each and every point made by you. For me, "the tika ceremony by Rani mainawati"; "The Muhdukhai ceremony"; Jalaal deliberately ordering this ceremony to take place; and "jalaal-Maan singh Encounter" were the bestest parts,

Its interesting and amusing both, that the mischievous Jalaal, deliberately wanted Muhdukhai ceremony to take place. Its his way to teach Jodha a lesson. and I am enoying each bit of it. Considering he is also being considerate along side. He wanted to watch Jodha's expressions on getting to now whom she is getting married to; and how could he miss this treat! So, he made sure, he used his powers. Like you said, he is controlling both sides, and this is what making it even more nice to watch.

"Rani Mainawati-Jalaal Scene" was the second best in my list. the way Rani was slightly fearful, if the Shahenshah would accept the Tika ceremony or not; and the way Jalaal regally but politely, and without saying a word, allayed her fears, was very-2 sweet. he had regards for the rani, he was polite, considerate, but at the same time exuding so much power and royalty. 👏 All the while his eyes never leaving Rani's face.

Muhdikhai ceremony: Jalaal is so clever, the wayv he circled the water bowl, and understood why it was kept, and the solution rajputs had found fr their problem. he understood they don't want Jodha to find out about Jalaal yet. the passionate and eager look on Jalaal's face and in his eyes, when Jodha arrived. Lost in his would-be-begum, even if its not love yet; its certainly something. Jodha is Jalaal's fancy right now.

It was interesting to note that when Jodha caught a glimpse f Jalaal in the water, and remembered the similarity between Jalaal's reflection which she hadseen in Amer previously, she took a step backward. wanting with all her being to clarify the doubts in her mind. But with no one in her own family, to clear them, it was Jalaal only, who wanted Jodha to know, that it is Jalala in front of her. Even if his purpose of doing so was mischievious 😛 But in this mischievious revenge/lesson too, he did her a favor! Saying out aloud deliberately, and telling her "Subhanallah, bahut fursat se banaya hai Khuda ne tumhe". Knwing his diction and sue fo words, his voice woudl undoubtedly make the storms inside her stronger, amd at the same time answering her own fears! n I was so in love with the background music! 😃 😆

All in all, a brilliant episode, portrayal by actors and picturisation, direction. n yes Rajat remains the star off the show. Today, I also loved the way Paridhi portrayed all the feelings of Jodha...she was pure brilliance. 👏 n loved the sensible Rani Mainawati too. 😊

Thank you, Alaria, and yes, I too loved the approach of Mynavati last night. Someone had to tell the distraught, shell-shocked Jodha what the score was, and since the Dadisa did not volunteer for that, the task fell to Mynavati, and she came up trumps;

Yay - I had been dying to read your analysis! Brilliant as always, auntyji.👍🏼 I've got nothing to add except - I LOVED Jalal/Mainavati interaction! I really did. And that is a shocker for me because I'm not a huge fan of Mainavati. But today she got me teary eyed along with her. She's hurting for her child. 😭 I found myself rooting for her, at least in this episode. I cried when she cried, smiled when she smiled (a bit), and breathed a sigh of relief when Jalal lowered his head to get 'tilaked' (May not be the correct term. Sorry my hindi is extremely poor). I could be very wrong when I say this - not for once did I feel Jalal being smug with Mainavati. And I loved him for it. But then, its impossible not to love him 😳

Ps - please excuse any typos and grammatical errors. I seem to have lost my mind. Again. 😆

I think, Ela, it was because this is a kid, and then Jalal is not in a life-threatening situation which is acutely humiliating for him. He has lowered his guard here, and been caught out by the kind, and he acknowledges that, but it is a light matter.

Plus, little Mansingh has not been reciting a litany of Jalal's real and assumed misdeeds and calling for his head on a platter. That should make some difference, wouldn't you agree😉?

I found the episode OK except for few scenes .

I loved Jalal and Mainavati scene most. ..I think Jalal treated Mainavati with most consideration.

Jalal was not offended when Man Singh put a sword on his neck ,then why is he angry with Jodha?

Dadi's expression very funny during Tilak.
I hope Jodha doesnt burn the dress no matter what the provocation

Great post as always😳 To begin with, i just loved the way Jodha called her Bhaisa telling that some mughal is out there..its so natural..like a sweet little sister sharing her fears with her defender,i.e; her brother!! Loved that scene..and as you said the episode had all the ingredients includig comedy!! That Halwai scene was really a cute one..Coming to muhdikhayi, i loved the fact that Jalal respected their culture and bent his head to put on Tilak!! That definitely means a lot!! Not to forget the look MA gave!!! I can really feel for Mynavathi who couldn't get over it..If at all she remembers daadi sa's words instead of that prediction she would have felt much better!

Beautifully written.. Totally agree with u. Thee episode contained everything thing. Jodha's reaction, Jalal's reaction and Jodha's brothers Mann Singh and Bharmaal mahamanga, everything was just amazing. Was really pleased with the episode. I'm just in love with ur post

again very good analysis from u , aunty. Jalal - Maansingh scene was good one. from what i have read, Jalal takes him to Agra. He later fondly calls Maan as his 'Ferzand' (sorry if any mistake. Ferzand means son). There are even pics of Jalal-Maansing wrestling .

here is the link to it. : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man_Singh_I

other scenes Sharifuddin was funny. And Jodha , when it comes to her hatred for Jalal , looks a bit immature. hope this changes with tonight's episode.
