Nahi Sonia don't say that...warna how will we have rabba ves, heavy breathing and acidity between Ja and Jo..😭

They desperately need their own equivalent of rabba ve. Even though in IPK the leads took so long to fall in love we had so much romance because of rabba veying . Aur yahaan we get speeches about thorns :(

Thank you for the analysis. Loved yesterday's episode because I was missing seeing ruthless jalal. As far as he is concerned he is he is being ruthless because he thinks he is being wronged by rat king( thank you for that word) . Rat king said don't raise your sword because we have an army too. But in one move that threat was rendered useless by Jalal.

Jalal in this show is neither as great as Chanakya not the real Akbar but I was glad to see some of his cunning which has only been talked about so far. I do think he will amends for wajinder once the truth comes out. He is deceitful but he is just when he has to be.
But he is as blind to Mughal follies as jodha is to Rajput follies and it will be a long time before either of them see the truth separate from emotions .

Was HB so enamored by jodhas show yesterday that she failed to hear what was said about bb testifying against shareef? Wouldn't any mother pick up on that and go ask her daughter ? At least talk to SIL about it ? How it happen etc? Ask bb why jodha even thought that she could make an allegation like that ? HB as much as I like her have to say she failed both her kids

Why Bhagwan? Explain plz...😆

No, no, dear Meghana, you do not have to be so polite! No one's posts can always be a treat, but I myself rather liked this one, and the title too, plus I tried to cover all the bases, including Sukanya's future, which almost everyone else here seemed to have brushed aside.

Tonight Jalal was ferocious in defending Sukanya's future, but how can he prevent the atmosphere in Dhawalgarh from being coldly hostile? Sukanya will not complain, so he will never know, any more than he knows anything that Bakshi Banu is going thru with her thug of a husband, that too right under his nose. Jodha will of course understand this and will consequently be very unhappy about it and with Jalal, as I had felt would happen.

Yes, it is amazing how much happens in 21 minutes of actual telecast time: I edit out the ads on a recording on my DVD recorder HD, so I know, and it is unbelievable. Think of all the scene preparations that must go on as well while they are shooting. Amazing.

Incidentally, they had the jaimala today but not for Jalal and Jodha, and today they did not have the maang bharna which they showed for Jalal-Jodha. Curious.

I agree with you about Jodha's semi-Chanakya neeti; semi because she cannot go the whole hog, she is just not made for it.

Excellent review Shyamala, I was waiting for it. Whenever there is an important turn in the story, your reviews are a treat to read. Ooops, they are always a treat but extra insightful during those turns. A question for you - Jodha used the chanakya neeti I felt for two reasons. First to bring the Cheapudin gang down by proving to them that their efforts to separate her from Jalal failed. The second one was that she could influence Jalal to find a middle way. I felt she did not think it would result in his giving away the fort. What did you think? The MA convo later she had also said she did some bhalai to get bhalai from Shenshah. It was a master piece yesterday, don't understand how they fit all of that in a 20 min episode.

How true, this line of yours is so right about future of Akdha. I anyways enjoy their arguments more than anything, so I am in for the seesaw ride.

Good for the CVs, who can then go back to seesaw mode for another few dozen episodes!!

Thank you, Anu, and yes, it was a beautiful episode, just as today's was high drama at the end. Jalal saying : Ek... baat... aur, with each word stressed as if it was all in all, and the Rat King shaking in his shoes.

As I wrote to Ela above, I loved the new shrewd, semi-siyasati Jodha, the semi- because I do not see her going all the way. She is not ruthless enough for that, just as Hamida is and Humayun was, which was why he was a loser, a lifelong failure and would have long been written off but for Ruqaiya's father and then Bairam Khan.

As for Jalal not believing Jodha, I have tried to explain that in my post; it has to do with her clear sense of priorities, where he comes very low - witness her speech on Wednesday last - plus he cannot see WHY Sharifuddin would do such a thing, or what he gains from it. it is a valid reason for doubt.

Re: @blue, it would have been impossible for him to settle the issue AND have Sukanya's marriage go ahead at the same time. He believes the Rat King is lying thru his rotten teeth, which is why he is so furious and so determined to teach him a lesson. Plus he thinks he can ensure that there are no ill effects for Sukanya, but that is simply not possible. How can he prevent the atmosphere at Dhawalgarh from being freezing, even if there is no abuse or overt mistreatment out of fear of Jalal?

Fantastic take on a beautiful episode, Shyamala.

I thoroughly enjoyed the episode. Jodha made me fall off my chair when she hugged Maham. I had to re-watch the scene to catch Jalaal's eyes pop out😆😆😆

Was quite impressed that Jodha acted the way she did... He had to learn the tools of the trade sooner or later. Glad she woke up in time.

Going by the looks Jalaal was throwing at her, I wasn't too sure if he bought it but yes it certainly seemed to have done the trick!

The little glance exchange between them right after he takes leave of Barmal was fantastic. To me it seemed like Jalaal was acknowledging to her that they both were indeed playing games, which made her promptly walk to his chamber to question his ulterior motive.

Regarding Jalaal's plan I for one wanted him to resolve the issue once and for all and wasn't too thrilled about the plan to give now and then go to war to reconquer it... Going to war at a later point could pose problems for Sukanya post wedding.

MP has been increasing impressive in correctly decoding Jalaal's actions..

One thing clear... It doesn't look like he trusts her much yet . Or else he would've at least mulled over what she had mentioned -"That she did hear Shariff's talk".

Yes, I agree, and as I had written in my response to Alakh and some others above, the degree of sincerity in Jodha's grand apology varied from person to person.

With Mahaam it was pure nautanki, and very funny; with Sharifuddinji Sa, it was dragged out of her by herself,but with Jalal she was genuine, as far as her intentions went. I am not sure how far she will be able to live up to the commitment she made to always stand with him in all his decisions.

I too liked this new Jodha very much better than the old Ms. Goody Two Shoes.

Wonderful post. 😊 But, I'm not completely sure if I believe Jodha's act. She did go way over the edge with the manifestly contrived public apology. And, the look of enlightenment in the scene before that is tell-tale of a plan forming in her mind. And, the way she explains it later to Maham Anga leads me to believe that not all of it had been a genuine expression of her feelings. Whatever be the case, I loved Jodha in yesterday's episode. 😃
