this post will not compare their characterization as we all have said enough bashed enough and now i am trying to look at some positive aspects of it, as u all know i love doing that:
jalal
a fierce, strong headed jalal who we all fell in love with is lost! is he? i know the negative and strong aura of a male oozes sex appeal and that is what us jalal pe lattoo females feed upon..and now seems like cvz have snatched that from us..that is why we r rooting for war scenes which will bring the missing x-factor we all r looking for...now lets analyze why this transition...
jalal loves jodha or not only time will tell, but he for sure has liking for her...he likes her being fearless, as we have noticed that even real akbar appreciated brave and honest people and that is why he had man singh as one of his 9 gems.
jalal, as ruq mentioned used to sar kalam karva dena for whoever raised their voice against him and now jodha literally pushed him, where did that jalal go?..now if we go back to the suicide scene where jodha wants to end her life and jalal saves her..why he saves her and why not killing her now because he knows that jodha is not afraid of dying and people who have no fear kuch bhi karne ki himmat rakhta hain and that is what jalal himself is all about..he finds her different and finds at times his own reflection in her...how can one kill someone one likes and admires!
and now this jealousy track is just to make jodha realize that if she has rejected his love he does not need or is craving for her love, he has got a replacement..and we all know that this replacement is no replacement..how can one replace someone who has engraved their path to someone's heart..
jalal can be indifferent to her..humiliate her..try to ignore her..but cannot kill her or hate her..by doing so he will kill himself! jalal ke seene main bhi dil hai jo dharakta hai...š
jodha
jodha was shown getting jealous and worried about jalal all the time..we all raised fret and fury as to why she is loosing her aura and self respect! what is a self respect..is it something that u wear to ward off people and keep yourself on a pedestal where no one can reach you or is it keeping the dignity and pious in the most humble and subtle way where people find solace and comfort to their tired souls...and that is the jodha i am looking for!
she feels for him, she goes out of the way for him at times and so does he, she cares.. ab ye kehna galat nahin hoga ke jodha ke seene main bhi dil hai jo dharakta hai..
at the end i would say that these subtle transitions will lead to the epic love story...we cannot have same karoor jalal and same nak chadi jodha falling in love..they have to cross the line where their differences meet and synchronize as one being from there on...
my request to the cvz is that they can show such changes as long as their strong characterization on the whole is not compromised, they should be shown compensating that in some other way..such as jalal being authoritative in external affairs and jodha supporting him along the lines as needed!
