This week I hv decided to do my weekend take in a bit different manner ... So I will b analysing all episodes from Monday to Friday below and rate them accordingly along with the final conclusion π³
Monday Episode : The Day which marked the rise of Salima...the new enigma in times of crisis βοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈ
Salima has now taken that all important place in Jalal's life when it comes to seeking advice or solution from someone .. Earlier Jalal used to go to either Ruqaiyya or Maham for seeking advice or finding solutions but now somewhere Jalal knows that neither Ruqaiyya nor Maham r totally neutral when it comes to Jodha and so he is depending on Salima fully and even Salima dint disappoint him in this case π.. I actually loved Monday's Salima and Jalal scene when she comes running and gives him the good news of Jodha's blue vomitting and hearing this Jalal breathes a huge sigh of relief which is visible in that forhead kiss which is a beautiful gesture by Jalal to show his respect and admiration for Salima βοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈ... Salima is taking Bairam khan's place slowly in Jalal's life ... He will now hv blind trust on Salima over others anyday in times of crisis ...
In this whole pregnency track , Salima not only gave matured advice to Jalal but she even handled Jodha and gave her the much needed comfort with her smart choice of words ππΌ ...Salima's talk to Jodha regarding how she should not jump to conclusion but try to wait and watch for the final result made sure that Jodha tone down a bit in terms of her hatred for Jalal and thats why she looked a lot mellowed down when she was later talking to Jalal about returning back to Agra after the kid's birth π€...I loved the way Salima used the example of five blind men describing an elephant where all r right in their own ways ππΌ.. Indirectly Salima hinted Jodha that both her and Jalal's points r right too in their own places .. If she claims she was never touched by anyone then Jalal's claim about his promise to Jodha is right too .. and so wait for the final result π...
Oh and I loved Monday's Jalal-Jodha scene too where Jalal returned that ring to Jodha and told her politely that the tarazu should b used now for justice and not to weigh who is right or who is wrong right now ...
I m glad finally CVs r showing some nice self talks of Jalal too regarding how he feels so helpless whenever he is in front of Jodha because despite knowing the truth , he cannot give that comfort to Jodha unless he gets proper proof ππΌ.. No wonder in tuesday's episode he was so cool and deciding names for his kid thus shocking Jodha too π because all thanks to Salima's help now he knows the truth and was only waiting for right time to tell the same to all π
Overall Monday's episode was dedicated to Salima and her bonding with Jalal which made sure all things fall in place for the coming week βοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈ... My Rating for Monday episode : 8.5 out of 10
Tuesday Episode : The Day of Long peaceful Corridoor walk the talk deciding Jalal-Jodha's fate π³
Jalal-Jodha's corridoor walk the talk was the highlight of the episode βοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈ...Initially I was wondering why Jalal-Jodga convo is shown while both r walking through that corridoor since earlier most of their convos happened in closed rooms while both were standing standstill .. so what could b the symbolism here π€.. I guess the symbolism here is how both r slowly moving on in life thus accepting both the positives and negatives thats written in their destiny and not holding back any grudges against each other π³... Thats why they r no more standing standstill in a closed room and hving their usual arguments of who is right and who is wrong but instead moving on in life and accepting the facts of life ππΌ..
Both were walking through the corridoor together while discussing about the pregnency but there was a certain amount of respect in their words while talking to each other instead of that usual bitterness which was the first positive progress of their relationship this week ππΌ... Even though Jodha did say stuffs like u r not human , u hv no emotions or shame when Jalal was deciding the name of his invisible kids π , but still I dint see that usual bitterness in Jodha's words even though her words were negative about Jalal but, instead I saw Jodha was simply amused thinking how can a man b so emotionless , is he hiding something from me ?? ππ.. Its more like Jodha was desperate to hear something positive from Jalal's mouth regarding whats going inside his mind because she feels he cant b so emotionless even when she was telling him about leaving Agra after child's birth and Jalal was all cool about it π.. Was Jodha expecting Jalal to stop her from leaving Agra and because Jalal dint oppose her leaving Agra decision , Jodha looked a bit pissed off but still tried to maintain that decorrum during the corridoor peace walk ππ
Felt bad for Jalal in this corridoor scene because from outside he is projecting himself as a selfish heartless man who does not care if his wife leaves Agra as long as he gets his waaris but from inside he is a broken man who knows well that even this time his child wont arrive and so all this kids name suggestions will forever remain as his fantasy only and wont b real ππ..But he silently gulps down all the pain inside and does not show it to Jodha only to protect her honour ππ..I m sure in future Jodha will recall this corridoor walk and will try to understand Jalal's emotions too the way he selflessly protected Jodha's honour here by himself taking all the curse from both his mother and wife
Having said that I was a bit angry with Jalal too since I never understood why Jalal could not share this truth with Jodha and released her from this pregnency tension earlier itself by just telling her that you r not pregnent but still u got to act as pregnent woman in this special jashn till we find out the real culprit .. I m sure Jodha would hv been more than happy to help Jalal and Salima in this mission because she too will want to know who played this disgusting game with her π€... Well I guess Jalal thought even if I tell she might not believe me fully until and unless I prove it to her with proofs π€
Coming to that last corridoor part where Jalal lies to Jodha about how she too felt the passion that stormy night and invited him in her arms π.. aaah that was Jalal at his naughty and wicked best π ... Well Jodha admits it or not , she does feel that desire at times being a woman whenever Jalal comes near her and Jalal has noticed this many times (mayb on that stormy night too π), and so he just gives her a small reality chk of that truth which she always keeps denying in the name of ghrina(hatred) ππ...Mayb Jodha will think of these words later on next week not that truth is all out π
Overall tuesday episode was dedicated to that beautifully directed corridoor scene where Jalal and Jodha makes an attempt to call it a peace despite all the confusion surrounding the pregnency rumour and I felt this was actually a first step towards trying to accept each other despite all the negativity surrounding ππΌ... .. My Rating for Tuesday episode : 9 out of 10
Wednesday Episode : The day of Truths and Shocking Revelations πππ
Finally the day comes when Bakshi bano's truth is out in front of Jalal all thanks to the master plan set up by Jalal and Salima ππΌ.. Liked the fact that CVs dint drag this whole pregnency fiasco till next week but finished it up in the middle of the week itself ππ... Bakshi bano's reason behind giving this ark to Jodha once again proves that love is truely blind and has no logic π... But its unfortunate that Bakshi bano went to this extreme only because she loves her husband Shariffuddin whereas this Shariff cares a damn about his wife reason why he himself excapes away leaving his wife all alone knowing well that Jalal can give her a death punishment too ..sighhh ... I guess moral of the story here is dont ever fall in love , instead try to rise in love because true love will never really make u choose the wrong path ...In this case Bakshi bano's love for Shariff was more on the lines of her own weaknesses , insecurity and fear of not wanting to loose her hubby for second time and thats where she failed ... π€
I loved the way Jalal deals with Bakshi bano keeping aside his brotherly emotions and acting like a fair Shehenshah as always πππ... One could see his eyes filled with tears of pain while asking Bakshi bano the reasons for committing this huge sin since as a brother its really painful and embarassing to actually find out how his own sister was trying to put these severe accusations against her own bhabhi and this way break her brother's marriage ... Rajat was simply brilliant in portraying the pain of feeling backstabbed by his own loved ones and his voice modulation while venting out his pain to bakshi bano was perfect βοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈ...
Coming to the scene where Jalal in a stone-hearted tone tells Jodha directly that she is not pregnent and the further details will b told by Bakshi bano , here I feel Jalal was feeling so disgusted with the turn of events that he lost all the soft emotions there and was simply trying to tell the truth to Jodha as fast as he can so that all that burden that was hidden in his heart for last few days can just b released and he can feel some relief of doing justice to Jodha finally .. He just dint wanted to waste any time by talking in riddles but was trying to b as direct and fast as possible so that Jodha too is released from this burden of feeling cheated with this pregnency /... Thats why Jalal showed less emotions and more disgust in the scene where he breaks the truth to Jodha in direct words and leaves from there thus giving fair chance to Jodha to vent out her anger to Bakshi bano all alone πππ...
In all this I m once again impressed with Ruqaiyya ... She was fair and loyal as always and even though that pain of not able to give first waaris to Shehenshah was there in her heart but her blessings for Jodha's baby during the jashn was 100% pure and straight from her heart πππ... I loved the fact that we might slowly see some bonding between Jodha and Ruqaiyya too now the way Ruqaiyya was impressed with Jodha's gesture of drinking the kesar milk without Ruqaiyya hving to taste it which simply indicates Jodha's trust on Ruqaiyya ππΌ
I just hope in the coming episodes ,CVs now tell us why Shariff had to do this cheap thing and what he would hv achieved with this π.. suppose Shariff was successful with his plan of proving Jodha characterless with this pregnency news ,. even then will he get the Mughal throne from Jalal kya ?? ππ.. Max Jalal would hv send Jodha to Amer ..thats it ... So what was Shariff's reasoning behind this plan ?? π... If Shariff was scared that Jodha will later on spill the beans about that Amer fiasco where he did few manipulations during Sukanya's marriage , then that should come across clear in the show as well instead of we viewers hv to assume it ...
Overall Wednesday episode was fully dedicated to the brave Shehenshah Jalal and his fairness the way he dealt with Bakshi bano after she was exposed .. As a brother not once he tried to save her but instead dragged her to Jodha's room and made sure she confronts Jodha too with the bitter truth ππΌ... .. My Rating for Wednesday episode : 9 out of 10
Thursday Episode : The day of Apologies and a New positive beginning βοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈ
This got to b my favourite episode of the week since finally I got what I wanted ..that is apology and repenting from both ends ππ... It was a perfect episode after the truth came out πππ
Two very important things stood out for me in this episode ...First was Jalal and Jodha both repenting for their actions and apologising to each other which was much needed ππΌ and second Jodha's discovery of Love from the likes of Salima and Bakshi bano ππΌ
So now Jodha knows two things .. One is she should never ever assume the worst about Jalal because he is quite a complex human who has this unique quality of identifying people and always doing the right justice in the end, so never jump to conclusion about Jalal and two is after talking to Bakshi and Salima ,she now knows the importance of love and realises that love has no logic and so any person in love will always choose his/her loved ones over anything else reason why Bakshi bano too was forced to commit this sin because of her love for her husband ...Not that Bakshi bano was right since one should not b totally blind in love either π but at least Jodha now understands the emotions and feelings thats associated with love π³
This is a good climax point in the story which will make Jodha look at things from a different angle now and try to b a good wife for Jalal which till now was not really her priority but after this incident , she will try to make it her first priority as well after seeing how Jalal as a husband fulfilled his duties and saved her honour even if its at the cost of his own sister getting caught ππΌ...Even in her self-talks Jodha did admit that Jalal saved her honour by himself taking all the curse .. So she has realised it well
I loved the way both Jalal and Jodha said sorry to each other for not trusting each other's words and for the first time Jodha on her own came to Jalal's room which I simply loved ππ.. There was no ego or sarcasm today in their dialogues .. Both felt guilty for trying to prove each other wrong and Jodha was more guilty since she never really trusted Jalal's words which Jalal did towards the end .. I loved Jodha's self talks too regarding how she could not trust Jalal and assumed the worst about him which was her big mistake .. a much needed self talk there ππ... Jodha's apology too looked honest and direct with no clash of ego ππ.. Same goes for Jalal too , he never really showed any attitude to Jodha or tried to take the credit for proving her innocent but instead he felt guilty for what his sister did to her ππΌ... I loved the way Jalal went out giving extra clarification to Jodha about he trusted her loyalty not because he loves her but because he saw the truth in her eyes π...errr well Jalal gave that extra clarification to hide his real feelings for Jodha there πππ...But the positive here is both were hving a very honest heart to heart sorry confession with no pun intended ππ.. I saw a certain level of respect and admiration in both Jalal and Jodha's eyes while saying sorry to each other and also while hearing out each other's confession regarding the whole incident and this new found admiration for each other will further develop the base of their epic love story βοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈ
Even the Maham-Jalal scene was quite touching the way Jalal cries his heart out in Maham's arms ππ...Jalal hardly shows his tears to anyone ... Maham is the only lucky one who has seen this vulnerable side of Jalal π.. But little does Jalal know that Maham too is one of those backstabbers only who in the past have killed his waaris too for her own selfish gains ..sighh ... I wish Jalal had gone to Hamida this time instead of Maham since she would hv really understood Jalal's emotions unlike Maham who was just acting π‘...
Overall Thursday episode was one of the best this week with a perfect apology coming from both Jalal and Jodha and also both finding a new mutual admiration society among each other βοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈ... .. My Rating for Thursday episode :10 out of 10 π
Friday Episode : The day of Justice , emotions and realisation ...
Today's episode made sure Jodha gets to see a totally different side of Jalal .. someone who is emotional and has a heart of gold π³ which was hidden for so long but finally it came out in front of Jodha today when Jalal failed to hide those tears of pain after breaking ties with his sister ππ... Jodha was really impressed to see this human side of Jalal which was hidden from her for so long and I m sure Jodha will fall in love with this Jalal now π³.. No more ghrina ...no more doubts and no more questions ... Jodha now knows this Jalal inside out
Finally the right justice is being done by Jodha when she decides to forgive Bakshi bano since thats the biggest punishment she can get so that the guilt of committing such a huge sin and still getting forgiveness from her bhabhi always haunts her ππΌ ... I loved Jodha's justification in this case when she told her reasons to Jalal that Bakshi bano has already lost everything from her brother's trust to even her husband's support , what more can she loose , so forgiveness was the only punishment she deserved that moment πππ... Jalal too knew that Jodha's reasoning r all valid and so he dint argue or question her decision today ππΌ..
I loved the way Jalal lets Jodha to take the decision today thus showing his human side ... Well he might claim to b a stone hearted shehenshah but today Jodha at least knows that he is a human with a heart reason why as a brother he could not take any decision for bakshi bano and so lets Jodha take the final decision ...
Today Rajat Tokas was brilliant throughout the episode portraying a heartbroken Shehenshah who is letdown by his own family member but still he goes and talks to his people in a brave tone to let them know that no waaris is coming yet just to make sure that noone again dares to question Jodha or spread any sort of rumour about her and while doing this even though he was feeling all embarassed as a Shehenshah to announce about no waaris for second time in a row , but still he kept a firm hold on his voice to make sure his people are all convinced with his words and not loose faith in his kingdom πππ.. At times his voice even got choked with emotions with the thought of how he has disappointed his people for second time in a row but still he stood there firmly and kept his voice all loud and clear to give a positive hope to all by saying that if destiny and god wishes then he will get their heir soon but for a king , his people only are his children and he will always look after their well being βοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈ... Rajat delivered those dialogues with sheer perfection bringing out the right amount of pain and emotions in his voice modulation as a human and yet not loosing that feel and body language of a king ππππ...
Jalal's speech and confession to his people impressed Jodha too and brought tears to her eyes when she sees this man's honesty the way he goes out of his way to clear his wife's name from any sort of controversy or gossips even if its at the cost of his own reputation taking a beating .. He could hv kept quiet and let the matter die its natural death but that would hv spoiled Jodha's name in front of public who would hv been confused with the turn of events and so Jalal makes sure to clear her name in front of all without really bothering about his own image as a king .. sign a perfect husband βοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈ...
I really hope next week we see Jodha realising what a gem of a husband she got ... something which every wife craves for ... she has it all in Jalal π³... Now that she knows the importance of love all thanks to Salima and Bakshi's lectures π , I hope she realises the importance of Jalal too in her life and vice versa π³.. Jodha is the only person who can make Jalal realise that he has a heart too which is full of emotions and humanity ...
Coming to precap , I feel its just a timepass banter between Ruqaiyya and Jodha which can eventually lead to their friendship and mayb Ruqaiyya might just realise the difference between friendship and true love all thanks to Jodha's questions ππ...
Overall Friday episode once again nails the fact that Jalal has a heart filled with emotions and he is actually longing for true love π³π³... ... .. My Rating for Firday episode :10 out of 10 π
Overall this week's episode had a very positive and steady graph and not a single episode can b called a filler .. it was quite a productive week which will definitely mark a new and positive beginning for Jalal and Jodha's love story π³
Looking forward to all your comments and takes π
