Jodha Akbar 132-133: The incomparable and the unforgettable - Page 7

American 🤣

Hi aunty! your writing and analysis is as intriguing and fresh as ever! I really missed reading these. just caught up on the last 30 of your posts. will reply to each one very soon. i did miss an episode or two but didn't jalal tell jodha at some point that he couldn't read? then y write him a letter? and y wud an emperor ask anyone. especially a mother figure to read a letter from his wife?!? just wondering if you had any insight to that?

Thank you, my dear.

My dear Tejaswini,

I am astonished that you could survive wading thru 30 of my posts, for I am sure I could not!😉I am truly flattered.

No, Jodha does not know that Jalal cannot read and write. It would not occur to her, since all her brothers and she herself can do so fluently. If she did know that, this track could not get off the ground at all. Ruqaiya, Mahaam etc. of course know it.

As for Jalal asking Mahaam to read it, it is because he does not expect it to contain anything of a private nature,only the kind of stuff that is there in the first part. He has no reason to expect anything else.

So when she comes to the part she cooks up - and notice that she is very careful to avoid the use of any Urdu words, she says prem,. for example, not pyaar - he goes suddenly still, for he cannot really believe it.

It he had not been so desperate to hear that kind of confession from Jodha, he would have smelt a rat, for which 16th century young woman would extend such an invitation, even if it was to her own husband?

And when she seems to refer to it again later in the garden, it is even more fishy. Than again, when he asks her in her rooms why she did not come and tell him that face to face, her response that she could not summon up the courage to do it was terminally misleading, It was also plain nuts, for where was the need to have courage to issue what sounds like a character certificate from a school teacher?😉

The new Moti is pathetic.She stumbles over her lines, and cannot even pronounce Benazir properly,. She would find it easier with khaas tohfa, don't you agree?

It was a very bad decision by them to change her. It detracts from the overall impact of the serial, just as the disappearance of Abdul did.

My dear Pari,

You need not reply to the PMs. They are just to spare you from wading thru the forest of repetitive post titles that clutter the index.😉

And thanks ever so much for such warm comments. Take care.

thank u soo... much for the excellent analysis

Well, my dear Sneha. you cannot blame them, for they are being asked to stretch a 150 episode story to 500 episodes! Then again, they have to keep their target audience, which is NOT the likes of us, in mind, and jealousy is a safe and time-tested ploy, as it is universally held to be one of the sure indications of love.

No, I too doubt if what Jodha is feeling now is romantic jealousy. It seems more to be anger and frustration at the loss of all that pampering and the unstinting (and mostly less than deserved) praise she has got used to getting from Jalal, the loss of an endlessly admiring and obedient pupil, and lastly, the humiliation of , as she sees it (and he intends that she should), of having been supplanted by such a lowly daasi.

So, the writers couldn't come up with a better plot to bring the two of them together, came up with the time tested jealousy aspect. But is it really jealousy that Jodha is feeling? Because I have plenty of moments where i could say that Jalal was falling for her. In Jodha's case, I draw up a blank.

Now that, Lashy dear, is catty but priceless!

But you have failed to take into account the key factor: KT will never fit into Jodha's outfits,any more than Hoshiyaar would have in the far more petite Ruqaiya's utaran. I could really not understand how she was shown as wearing Jodha's shamsheer practice dress without its splitting at the seams.

Then again, surely the dress would have been in Moti's custody in Jodha's rooms? Why is it shown as if it was stored in some sort of general access locker in the practice area? It makes no sense at all.

she clearly has a hidden agenda.. but somehow I feel that will change but it will be too late then

But aunty, for the very reasons youve stated, Benazir is malicious...I.e. It's obvious now that she's had a taste of power, she wants more of it...WANTING power isn't the issue...only the saintly spurn it...however, gaining power comes at the cost of harming many an innocent soul...and she doesn't seem like one whod shy away from.doing so..
Dont get me wrong, I wholly appreciate the role she plays in the story much like ruq and MA... These three antagonists make for far far better viewing than shareef and adham ..

This serial CESPERATELY needs other good supporting male actors...

aunty it's really a treat and a pleasure to read your mastt take on last two episodes..:-):-)

those episodes were really fun to watch,but the ridiculous thing was that ben got fitted in jo's sword practice dress, I mean wow, how can cvs miss such fine details, sometime I feel,not only jalal,the cvs have problems in eyes too..:-D:-D:-D:-D..

And I didn't understand what pandu ji was trying to convey while said that he felt bad for jo being a hindu,she is stuck among mughals.
I mean had he gone out of his mind?? Couldn't he see that jo was practicising her religion being among mughals,that so openly,
wore dress as a hindu queen, and didn't he has any idea that any mughal never accompany her to temple, but that never means that jo is lonely in agra..couldn't he figure it out that without shahensha's permission she couldn't practice her religion,her worshipping,how much freedom did he mean jo could get had she been married to any other rajwanshi..


and the third jo took bath with full clothes on..:-D:-D:-D


fourth- in the DEK scene she came forward to gift without even asking shahensha,I mean now it's been 6 months,still cvs don't follow the etiquets of a mughal court, I mean it's so obvious in every royal family.
