Jaya, my own explanation regarding Jalal feeling lust first and not yet love is this:
He has never known "love". He has had a harem full of women from lust without ever knowing love. So even in this case it is but natural that he is being shown as feeling the lust first. In fact if he had been shown having sudden love for Jodha it would have been a sudden departure from the life he knows so far and that too would have been unpalatable.
I think what will happen is that he will feel this lust, but in between we also see his questioning if Jodha is really into him in the same way or not. So that means he already senses that for her lust is not enough. When she spurns him, and maybe he turns to Benazir and finds Benazir tasteless, he may realise that lust alone is not enough or he would have found Benazir worthwhile! So he will begin to question why lust is not enough for his own self, and realise that its the same for Jodha too ... and they need to go further into this thing called love!
This is my reading of the situation.
And yes I totally agree with you that this Benazir must be a plant of this Adham-Sharif cellmates. But see here they are working against what Maham is trying to do, na? Maham would prefer Jalal to "take" Jodha immediately, whereas these two may be plotting a Benazir-distraction. Eventually all 3 may play reverse-Cupid, but that's not to say the three villains are working in harmony!
