She is back with her long speeches the moment Jalal has been declared with a life lease. She went on and on with comparing Jalal to Meera bai in front of HB & MB. Now she will teach him how to treat animals when he orders her to nurse him and he will be either out of his mind or loss of his hair which looks so pleasing on his head.

But Preeti, it is by now an ingrained habit, and that is not going to change because the audience has changed. In fact, it will become even more preachy, as he would come under the category of 'reformed sinner' needing extra pravachans! He had better take some precautions!

Yes, dear, but as you yourself said, the Sunderbans tigers are different from the common run of tigers, which should include Mohan , an Agra-area big cat. And what was he doing up that tree?

It reminds me of a fond wish of mine some weeks back that it would be a leopard that would chase Jodha up a tree!

Hello Shyamala,
Just as yesterday, today's too I found that there was not much content in the epi...apart from the Hakim -Dawaai-Jodha combination... As my explanation on the efficacy of the Lep is also proved (Which was Oh-so-Predictable ploy obviously!!) correct today, I would say something on the Mohan's climbing and Jodha's Bhasan - expression mismatch issue...Something I figured out after thinking on realistic ground...

1.As I had pointed out on ur last-to-last post , I was surprised to see Mohan as a Para-trooper, It is a fact that Royal Bengal Tigers are a bit different in Character and habits Reason being their intake of Saline water . Not only can they climb on trees , but they are prone to be Man-eaters more than any other Tiger Variety... They can climb trees effortlessly as all tigers can do the same when young but RBTs keep up the habit even after growing Up.And the most important part is that , GUJRAT/DRY FOREST TIGERS SELDOM CLIMB UP A TREE TO LAUNCH AN ATTACK...!!!🤢 U know what, I feel there were More than one Mohan(s) used in the whole attack sequence, I mean shots were take with different Tigers...(After -all, CVs did not expect any viewer to actaully count stripes on Mohan ID proof ke liye...??😆 )

2.I again found Jodha's Expressions quite un-fitting and out of character/sequence in many of the shots...BUT then I realized with dash of practicality...these scenes are not taken in the same sequence as we see them....😛 And that is the real Cause of us finding Jodha sometimes so apt and into character (Like when in Jalaal's Chamber) and sometimes Awefully detached and back to her Pravachan mode...In fact observe HB , she too shows out-of-sequence Glee on Jodha's Lecture 😃with a surprisingly fresh,glowing face😉 (After such a Fit she threw & the Trauma she faced , maximum she should have managed is probably smile of relief & appreciation 😕 )To further top it , we find Good Old MotiBai Apparating (As in HP series) beside Jodha , after being miraculously absent during the whole Attack-Lep -Fever Drama...🤣
I almost fell-off my seat seeing Jodha start that "Om-Jay-Jagdish"...why??? Becoz suddenly her voice turned a Male-Female Chorus ...🤣 I expected more urgency on her face than the almost detached expression while singing...😕
Hence I seriously think that the Actors should be given proper briefing before their Shot (NOT everyone is Rajat na...who is perfect in all scenes so far...😉), as that would help them to get into the scene better, even when shoots are haphazard...!

Regards,
Kamal

Hi September12,

Seems its only the two of us on the same page re Paridhi's Jodha in the past couple of episodes. Or may be we expect too much from her 😃

And yes the direction was a let down.

We meet for the first time on Vanilla-E-Mint's thread. Or should I say her tavern/opium den? Cause its an addiction, as you must have found out by now.😃

Welcome 😳

Love,

Moontide

that one dekkho at him and we will fail to forget 😳

That small glimpse of Mohan wrestling with Jalal was too small. I wanted more 😡 At least 5 minutes.

On regaining consciousness, the first individual Jalal remembers is MOHAN!!!!

I liked it - it was realistic and besides, it means that Jalal was sensible to wipe away the lecturing that Jodha Begum gave him after the attack.

Love
