Jodha Akbar 85: A jaundiced view - Page 5

I also felt something is missing in Akda scenes...particularly Jalaal again cutting hand and jodha cleaning it looked repetitive... It's not romance and particularly fall and catch scene become reguar in every serial...

I don't know much about MP and background so didn't have a problem..

CVS forgot giving good sensible scenes with simple interaction between AKDHA rather than usual flip and catch and projecting forced romance...and to top of it one more attack and the arrows are missing to hit them when both are in the same boat with nothing to cover them...😡

What they are showing is just attraction not romance as both doesn't understand each other how romance will start ?? 👎🏼

My dear Preet,

Your @blue is so spot on that I have nothing to add to it.

If you are game for some light relief, do take a look at my exercise in thought reading for Jalal and Jodha, in my response to Alakh above

Mandy, I see the events of today's episode as something that would've happened before the tiger attack. Considering the raw emotions we saw from both Jodha and Jalal, I would think the show would have focused on the character progression, rather than simply feeding the TRPs. I know for a fact they could've given us proper closure, something to have tied up the attack track. The nursing promo scene would have been perfectly fine for me, they didn't even have to speak, and we could see the true emotions their eyes conveyed. It would also have satisfied the TRPs hungry individuals.

I understand that they don't want to show too much passion/love, but these superficial, cliched scenes are not the way to go either. They've pulled off scenes with perfect balance before, as lashy has mentioned: the dargah scene, the swordfight, and the aarti scene. For me, the perfect scene was Jodha saving Jalal and it frustrates me that they were not able to follow up on it.

I do hope this issue of disconnected transitioning is solved. I'm still hoping for some kind of flashback sequence, especially from Jalal. Jodha could also use a reminder of what praises she was singing of her patidev at the dargah. As for the future tracks, I hope they're handled with elegance, and not just mediocrely passed off. Passed off as 'romance', that is.

Lashy, this is why I love you so. I would do that even if you were wallowing in treacle about the boat scene, but now, as Chairman Mao said of his successor Hua Guo Feng, with you around, my mind is at peace! You can single handedly stave off a diabetes epidemic!😉

@ Aunty, you're not alone...if Amer is going to be like today, I doubt its going to have half the magic it can have...

I wasn't rejoicing...it was a very very ordinary episode..

Romantic episodes that were directed well were scenes like the sword fight, the Arthi scenes, the poetry scenes, the scenes at the Dargah, his rescue attempt after she tried suiciding, her rescue attempt after the tiger attack...

I personally felt that today was nowhere in the league of these scenes

As for the historical lapses, lack of bodyguards for the Emperor of the entire Sultanat and all other directorial shortcomings, 1 post might not suffice

Ekta has a goldmine in the form of Paridhi and Rajat...I really wish she knew how to use it better..😕 they're busy basking in the glory of TRPs...thats not going to last very long if they don't buck up the flow of the tracks...

We are such loyal viewers -capable of overlooking many-a-small-fault and forgiving lack of logic too many-a-time! If WE feel the pinch, then the common viewers are going to lose interest faster...

Hey shyamala ...

This was a short analysis ...I always like your big posts on the episode ...
Without seeing it I can tell that it was a brilliant episode with loads of akdha scenes
But your questions are all valid ...I am just tired of seeing this mp
For heavens sake why the tribals don't have a good arrow all their arrows were following in water
And tribal people surely have a good eye and arrow but only one arrow was on target
Others are just like seeing who will shower more arrows on akdha

And ofc I have the same questions ...and was sad that theirs no precap
One question of mine to you...
why did you wrote singing lori...?
What's that?
Actually lori is my name so just can't understand that

Thank you...

My dear Ash,

You almost restored my spirits with that idea of Jalal stopping the arrows with his shamsheer!😉

The precap was apparently about Adham refusing to be reined in by Sharifuddin.

As for this post, I did not expect it either!😉But then I decided that like the traditional medicines our grandmother used to dose us with after the excess of Deepavali sweets, you all needed this. and me, after the overdose of treacle flooding the forum, a flood that I do not see ebbing any time soon as Amer arrives.😉

I did not expect your post today but was happy to read it anyway. I did enjoy the boat ride a lot but at same time I felt like this amer track seemed so fast. I feel after the tiger attackt heyshould ahve some meaningful conversation with Jodha nursing his wounds because she feels guilty about it and it's her duty too. And from then onwards, we should have start seeing some civil conversation with little nok-jhok between them and then have amer track. Hopefully, When Jodha notices or maybe her relatives would make her notice that Jalal is not on apka guroor todna jate hai mode. I have answered ur questions in red below.

😆..i know we r becoming whole bunch of sadists here who get excited over cut wounds and nursing promos..i hope this show does not become an emergency department where we see doctors and nurses running around!

May be we need not worry about the emergency department and having to see flocks of doctors and nurse as the CVs will show us the injured Jalal andthis time our Pricess Jodha will treat his wounds with atmost care & also nurse by depriving food & water. The reason please dont jump up and scream hurrey, Jodha started loving Jalal or liking Jalal. We will not get such classy notes, she will take care of him because he is in Amer and she doesn't want anyone to blame her Bapusa & Bhaisas. May be a force full nursing because HB will take away all the Dasis of both Jalal & Jodha so that they can have a forced intmacy.

Thanks for the post Aunty! ⭐️ i liked the boat riding but think it was stupid to let shahensha alone go with only Jodha.😕 But thank God hundreds of arrows couldn't hit its target.😆

lori means lullaby 😃

Dear Abhi.

Your @blue puts it in a nutshell. It is the cheap and easy path to TRPs thru an audience inured to such mediocrity.
