I want to bang my head against the wall, but then I am like why hurt myself, if I get hold of the guy who writes Jodha's dialogues I swear grrr. They are trying so hard to make us dislike her when we are pulling at straws at anything to see some epic love. From where it stands right now there is nothing epic about this.
The episode does start with a bang. But I could scream hoarse about how much I hated that he gave the fort back, but silver lining is that he gave it directly to Sukanya. Sukanya is so likable as a character more than Jodha I am going to be oblivious of his reasons, and just enjoy that simple moment he had with her alone and be proud of it. Because in that moment it was just like a big brother doing something for his sister.
This is when the episode went off the rails. I knew there was no point in getting too excited about Jodha's new found understanding of politics, her husband, or anything that requires a brain because the writers are determined to show she has none. She comes to him to ask questions what else is new, her first question in itself is a doozy shows how clueless she is about Jalal's world. Jalal so patiently puts forth his case in such an eloquent manner, this is the most poignant moment in the show so far. If they want to write a love story this was it this was the moment to give the princess of thorns some meaningful dialogue to show the connection of souls. If the writers are trying hard to show the reason for Jodha's coldness is her attraction to her husband, hence her need to shutdown emotionally with him then they are doing an excellent job. But for that to work the writers have to prove Jodha feels something to begin with, if she is just being a b**** for no reason at all then why should we root for this couple.
The last part pretty much undone any progress they made in Amer. Jalal has gone so forward in character development that he is walking alone, and his apparent soul mate is nowhere near him, some love story the writers are writing. What is there to say of this awfully written scene, there were a dozen ways they could have directed this, but the writers chose the most distasteful way to do it non mentioning the cliche body heating idea. Full points to the actor for delivering such apt emotions when I wanted to laugh at the ridiculousness of it. I could lambast Jodha for running out the way she did but since the writers unanimously have decided to give her no redeeming qualities so no point in trying to find in reason in her unreasonable actions.
