Well, Lori - and that is a very pretty name! - I am not sure how many long posts I can do in the future, given my time constraints,but I am flattered, thank you.

In face I tried my best to leave the forum for this very reason after Friday last, but was dragged back by main force by so many incredibly affectionate friends here, which is why I am here at all. Still, I will keep your preferences in mind!

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...

hold hands...music start//// he asked her to hold his to help ...every one
my Q ... will he not do it to ruqayya or even salima... un ko pani mae girne daita...

then she trip...hold his arm...song started...ishq hae woh jazbat...every one

ok then boat started... jalal looked directly to her with his searching glare...jodha avoiding his gaze...
people said... jalal in love because he cant take his eyes from her...

if he doesnt meet her eyes...

then people exclaim

he fall for jodha he cant make eye contact with her

🥱

...

then he asked... about she likes boat riding...her answer was

jalal said...it is useless to argue u...

answer ...thats the problem shahnsha...u cant talk or discuss any thing u just want argue😲🤢

then again cut from jane kahan se... but to gain her sympathy ...he must needs to injured...every one dying how romantic ..how much she is caring...

my Q kia ruqayya will not care for his wounded hand ...even would salima ignore his bleeded hand

so what was extra special in it ..like sword fight or arthi scene,...

then again at the time of hilarious attack with absolutely zero security of the emperor

he covered her n said ...i dont let u hurt jodha begum...so what exactly romantic in it...jalal even didnt left his crippled subject alone... my Q ..kia he will leave Ruqayya even salima instead will worry only for his life...
❓🤬

javeda MA scene 🤢🥱

First of all I want to say once again a fab post 👏
I like the way u give ur insights and review of the episodes...After reading ur posts whenever I watch episode again...I see what I hadn't noticed previously...😊

Yes..yesterday...I too felt like something is missing...though There was a big part of Akdha scenes yesterday..It dint create that "magic"...which I earlier felt...such a wonderful plot it was...but still I felt like something is missing...May be I am expecting too much from the lead pair..since they have the capabilities...

Again..I too thought about "Kuwar" MP ...that seemed illogical to me...but then I thought Its Ekta's show 😆 😆

Thank you so much, Neetu.

I feel that if we are dumbing ourselves down by gushing over such puerile stuff,then how can we complain that we get more of the same? We should not cut Ekta so much slack over this show at least,for it was the most sensible, fresh and appealing of her shows.

As for the actors, I agree with you about Rajat as Jalal.I am not at all sure about Jodha. She not only never rises above the script, she seems to lag far beyond it. For example, what was it with her puffed up, sulky face yesterday, which looked as if the bees had had a go at it?

Sara dear,

I agree with all that you have said 111%. It was farcical, the boat ride scene, and the gushing over it makes me feel distinctly queasy, though of course everyone has the sovereign right to gush if she/he so chooses.

Please see my response to Neetu above, which amplifies on this point, as also my tongue in cheek reaction to Alakh, further above.

My dear,

You really cheered me up by making me laugh at all your cracks, specially the priceless one @blue!

As for cutting Shamshuddin Atagah Khan some slack,there is the question of where the buck stops, and here it stops with the PM, who ranks next after the Shahenshah in the administration.

He does have the overall responsibility, including for Jalal's security even if the hands on part is done by the security chief. Remember how he reacts to the hunting alone idea on the way back from Ajmer? And how he insists that the army contingent will escort Jalal to Amer and deal summarily with any attackers?

Plus here, it is he who suggests the boat ride.

This hamida banu acts as if jodha is her daughter and jalal her step son. Not sure why? hardly any peaceful interaction between mother-son

I agree 111%, and have said so repeatedly in the past, including on Mansi's thread about Hamida's obsession with Jodha.

I watch MP regularly, and I love some of its archetypes, especially the young Pratap, whose sincerity is so transparent and immensely moving. The Buddha is beautiful, especially on Doordarshan with no pop ups.

And yes, the boat scene was, as I have noted bluntly, a Farce, capital intended.

Shyamala I dont watch MP but I have seen promos and they are about 4-5 minutes long...I dont want any change in star cast just production house who is willing to spend money and is more asthetic ...Even in zee , watch buddha...It gives the feeling of grandeur...

I couldn't tolerate romantic scenes yesterday...where was the beauty of romance?

Originally posted by: sashashyam

I agree, Ela, the only caveat being that the characters in that show, though entirely consistent within themselves, are all archtypes: the ideal, proud Maharana, the ideal son, the bad son, the Lady Macbeth third wife, the ideal chief Maharani -the whole lot. They do not any of the nuances that Jalal has and that Jodha could have it only they let her.

Rajat in particular brings so much more to his Jalal than the CVs ever thought of, and that is what is special about Jodha Akbar. And this should not be lost, whence my acute irritation at these so-called romantic scenes.

They are exactly like those in the 1960s Asha Parekh-Shammi Kapoor films, of course minus OP Nayyar's fabulous songs. Shall we put in a petition to Ekta demanding songs for the JJ scenes?😉

Surely it should be the opposite? It the TRPs continue to rise, as you say yourself,we can expect only more of this mediocre stuff. I do not want that at all, as I look back at, say, the fencing duel.

And please call me Shyamala, with or without any suffix you might like

sashashyam, we should be happy as long as the trps r soaring, i will be worried if they start to fall, that is when the cvz will have to change or do some experiments on what might work, now look at the mc track, it had no logic at all, the hamsakal of maham did not make any sense, still the trps kept soaring, now these type of tracks encourage cvz to inject us with all types of melodramas with or without logic..if this type of romantic scenes will help in raising the trps then that is what we will get..ekta is pretty experienced in her field, she will feed the audiences with correct recipes of masala episodes that r bound to work or have worked in the past..lets see what the trps r next week, whether this track works or fails only time will tell😊!

As you would have gathered from my post, Preeti, neither, to put it mildly, did I!

It was like overdose of an extremly sweet desert served at the end of a meal, all the supposedly romantic scenes bundled up and put in the last segment , had it been spread over the episode with a little bit of sensibility added to it ,the out come may have been much better.

Regarding Jalal hurting his hand , I was also wondering when did He hurt himself , maybe a case of bad editing.

Forced scenes of javeda are getting a little irritating now.

Overall didn't enjoy the episode much.
