Yes I agree I hate a track that uchaal-fies Kheenchad on a historical figure - esp someone as noble as Hira Kunwari!
HOWEVER, and a BIG however - Now that they've started it - its not been as bad as I thought it'd be. I was sceptical till yesterday - but, it turned out ok today (I think🤔)
I hate having to endure one more bout of MCs between Jalal and Jodha
I hate having to watch Jodha cry over and over again about ghrina-ing Shehenshah (Gals don't mistake me - this is NOT Jodha's fault - ANYONE in her place'd do so (even me)...it's just that as a viewer I'd prefer not watching too many rona dhona scenes by anyone - even Madhuri Dixit! AND I LOVE MADS😆!)
HOWEVER, and a BIG however - Now that they've started it - its not been as bad as I thought it'd be. I was sceptical till yesterday - but, it turned out ok today (I think🤔)
And looking at it this way - Even, the original movie (from which this serial is supposed to be based) does have a track where Jalal suspects Jodha of having some sort of a relationship with Sujamal. Now, while things didn't go so far as a false pregnancy, Jodha being suspected of having relations with her brother is still pretty bad too. So I guess, we'll just have to grit and bear that Ekta decided to take it a step further with the pregnancy bit for the sake of episodes and TRPs!
What I did like today
Jalal and Jodha keeping a somewhat brave face in front of a crowd. After a point, it was looking too forced - but, then that was what it was - FORCED! Jalal and Jodha were being compelled to overcome their grief and put on a smile for the sake of (temporary) diplomacy!
MA
I know the entire forum is against her -but, come on - how can you NOT appreciate a witty villain? Do Shareef and Adham seem like worthy opponents of Jalal or does MA? 😆 I know my answer!
Yes, she's always busy eavesdropping - but then, its been documented that the Harem was always rife with spies. Here MA is our resident spy cum Wazeer-e-aliya😆!
Plus, she seems to be the ONLY one interested in finding out all details of the pregnancy - i.e. if Jodha is pregnant at all - when she became - how she became etc!😳
Not even Jalal and Jodha are at this juncture yet!
JA-JO
When Jalal questioned Jodha, he appeared quite the role (as he always does). I found all of his questions and all of her replies spot-on. Nothing extra, nothing too dramatic.
He didn't blow off his lid like he used to, but he grit his teeth so hard, I'm sure he must have felt the impact on his incisors later on! RT invested all his emotional might that he could into that scene while standing on the one spot he had been given! 👏
Obviously, many wanted 'physical' investment in the fiery face-off - but, girls thank God he didn't start pushing and pulling her. She is 'supposedly' pregnant. His restrained interrogation only reflected positively upon his character. I'd definitely like him to make-up for the loss by pushing and pulling her when romance starts 😆
I also loved Paridhi's acting here - one could see the horror in her eyes - the torment caused by the accusations were evident!
I LOVED her wailing to Mothi afterwards (no...no...not because she was wailing😆) but because, she raised the very points that I have been raising all through.😊 I liked all of her feisty points today!
'I am a Rajvanshi' she stated with pride!
'I'd rather die than listen to all these accusations - chee' (Yes Vicky, she was adorable when she said chee!😛)
'We're taught to Jauhar if our men die in wars so that our body always remains devoted to only one man! ' 👏
'Another man cannot even touch my shadow forget touching me' 👏 (Almost like Sita Mata, eh?)
If you noticed- she even stated to Mothi that 'Their relationship STARTED off as hatred, but she'd never think of having relations with another man when she has a husband now' [i.e. she used to say her relationship with Jalal IS that of hatred, but the last two instances the hatred bit has now been pushed to past tense!]
She sounded like a typical girl fed-up of being distrusted by her in-laws when she stated that she hated everything to do with Agra.
For some reason, I loved her pushing that plate of fruits away in anger too. When HE can throw goblets and break tables, SHE can break vases and throw fruits too...Bhagwaan ne chun chun ke hi jodi banaayaa hai!😆
MYSTERY
The veiled woman and Salima scene really piqued my interest today. It may not turn out to be as scintillating as an Agatha Christie who-dunnit since the culprits can only be 1-2 people, but then - we're still guessing, aren't we?
Now it all makes sense about Jodha's symptoms and her not getting the monthly cycles etc. If whatever miracle medicine mixed in her milk was administered everyday, it could possibly induce indigestion-like symptoms and keep her cycles away too - precisely what many of the birth control pills do even today😕
Very elaborate plan - but, who thought of it and why? I'd not place too much hopes of anything logical coming out of it - but all I can say is today's episode intrigued me!
SALIMA
I genuinely liked Salima's protective stance today. While Ruqaiyya on one hand wants NO ill to befall Jalal's child, Salima on the other hand wants to ensure Jodha and child are not harmed. When everything becomes well, in future (distant waala one) a pregnant Jodha is definitely going to be pampered by her fellow-queens! (and the Shehenshah too😛)
HB
For ONCE I'm relieved to see HB thinking from her son's point of view - at least for a change of scene girls! Her blind adoration and faith in Jodha was getting a bit too much. Even during Mohan episode, she was more worried about Jodha than Jalal (Please!) This should balance the equation a bit now!
I dont' know if Jodha is going to go back to Amer but if she does, they're following the movie track then.
FUTURE - MY TAKE!
I do hope its Jalal who finds out the truth though - so that its not a repeat of the MC track!
Overall, I like the treatment this otherwise abysmal mud-slinging match is getting. Even though the basis is debasing, the manner of execution is better than that of the MC kaand - at least so far!
