During Ajmer Sharif track the soul talk informed us that was a beginning of their journey of love and it was 3 months before this was aired but till date we have not yet seen the first step of that journey but in the process we have endured all the 'ghrina' dialogues and its sequences, Jalal being called a 'pashu' by his dear begum, he was almost killed because of her, then Jodha showed pity to him in Amer for being lonely and a ruler of the nation and then back in Agra all that fake pregnancy fiasco followed by celebration of their birthdays and Tasneem track but no sign of that 'Love' blossoming.
I wanted a royal ignoring from Jalal's end towards Jodha so that she will realize how does it feel to taste a dose of her own medicine but this is a Balaji show and even if what we want we are getting they will do it in such a way that Jalal will look obnoxious and in the end Jodha will be the one who will be glorified and Jalal will repent and apologize to her. The heroine can't go wrong but the male protagonist are always at fault and are guilty. And to top it all it will be Jodha who will be saving Jalal from Benazir's intentions I am sure for which Jalal will be singing endless praise of Jodha and will be eternally grateful. It is a Balaji show after all.
I should thank the CV's for small mercies I guess, at least Jalal is not panting with lustful eyes on Benazir neither is he genuinely interested in her. I was dreading that will be the final nail in the coffin.
I simply am bewildered to think how can the CV's literally butcher and ridicule a historical figure like Akbar just for the sake of drama and TRP. It is slowly taking the route of their usual saas-bahu sagas.
CV's you all have invested I am sure thousands on creating Benazir but my only complain about her is she has the same facial expression in every scene with no conviction or feeling. She has a deadpan expression whether she is trying to look seductive or being sarcastic or trying to be plotting or scheming! A little twitching of muscles is required when one is delivering a dialogue or else it falls flat like we saw every time Benazir opened her mouth. Did you all pay her just for her catwalk parading in front of every one in that semi clad costume?
And Akbar is nothing but a drum to you guys CV's, jo bhi aata hai bajake jaata jai! Is he an emperor at all? First it was Maan Singh who stood up against him and he was awarded by being in Jalal's court, then Jodha is there 24/7 who is always 'taana maroing' Jalal and he is happily taking it and now Tansen who came and showed his talent in being rude rather than portraying his musical skill! CV's you all spend so much money on Benazir, why couldn't you spend a little on a singer who could have been the voice of Tansen? There are so many talents in the reality shows nowadays, why couldn't you hire one of them who has a presence of voice with a classical background? Ek hi gaana gaya Tansen sab jashn mein?!! Really? And he was more competent in being smug, rude and impertinent to Jalal rather than showcasing his talent.
We can thus expect and guess that any of the nine gems that will be introduced henceforth will be equally uncivil and brash to Jalal to be noticed and accepted by him. 😕
As usual a lovely post which reciprocated most of my feelings. 👏 Thank you.
