I now see why you are so enthusiastic about Mahaam all of a sudden, my dear Lashy, she obviously shines by comparison!

A very neat and comprehensive post, but that is nothing new. I was relieved that you have not gone in for extensive and fanciful predictions, for one always treads on quicksand in the prediction business.

The overall tone is so doleful,my dear, that I have titled it Lament Part 2!

MAHAM

We should stop writing an ode to Jodha and Jalal, because MA changes, influences and fulfils the story in this serial more than any other lately. If anything, she's the one that deserves the ode!

She twists the leads' lives to suit her lofty purposes and they let themselves be played. She acts like none another and the number of well-functioning grey cells she singularly possesses can match up to what all the rest of the characters in the serial currently boast of!

Besides; as per latest revelations - she also seems mighty capable of teleporting herself into any nook and cranny as the script desires. Yesterday, while she was inside the temple and behind the bushes - today we get a glimpse of her practically sitting in Shivani's palanquin.

Not only did she create a rift between Jalal and Jodha utilizing the letter and then Benazir; she's managed to brain-wash Shivani to run away from the wedding mandap - AFTER having instigated her to AGREE to the wedding in the DEK!

This is a different fact that Shivani seems to be the least-witted of the lot. However, no one in the serial seems to have escaped the many interesting (some half-baked) ploys of MA - neither Jalal, nor Jodha, not Ruqaiyya, not HB, not Salima, not Shivani - in fact, none...

Obviously, we haven't even reached the consequences all this going to have upon Jodha's repute - once the intentionally misplaced letters are discovered in her chamber tomorrow!

JALAL-BHARMAL

RT looked fresher from yesterday, but is still recuperating!

Nevertheless, it felt nice to hear two sentences from Jalal as he addressed Bharmal today 'You are older to me...like a father figure ...you are the highest ranking Mansabdar in my administration...I respect your advice and your words'

Thankfully, this scene brought about a welcome change from both the Benazir angle and the Shivani-Hakim debacle! Somehow; this one scene showed that Jalal has his eye on things other than the Harem too!

Additionally, this conversation between Jalal and Bharmal - about who to give this important 'position' to i.e. Bhagwant Das or Hakim Mirza is telling. It is going to be another bone of contention between Jalal and Hakim Mirza in the upcoming episodes when my guess is that Jalal will hand over the position to Bhagwant - this, apart from Jalal supporting Shivani's wedding to Tejvant, of course!

MA-ADHAM

This MA-Adham conversation about 'Why Adham needs to pay attention to the happenings in a Jashan' is so repetitive it really can be done without!

JALAL-HAKIM

Jalal(who looked quite smart himself in his new attire) getting Hakim dressed up for the wedding was a filmy scene but sweet. Its obvious this relationship between Jalal and Hakim is only being overtly highlighted so that their enmity in upcoming episodes has THAT much more of an effect!

Jalal advising Hakim about how to go about his duties as a married man, Hakim reliving their playful youth, Hakim's tear-filled eyes, their brotherly hug - all of it is a testament to the jarring melodrama that's to come!

Such a pity - we'd always wanted a strong supportive male lead as Jalal's friend/brother/courtier. The first time we actually see glimpses of the same, it turns out the path has already been set for the entrant to go against the leads!

SHIVANI's WEDDING PREPARATIONS

Obviously, the amount of hoo haa we'd witnessed in Jodha's and even to a large extent in Sukanya's wedding is absent here. Shivani's wedding (even without the troubling love triangle) seems rushed and like a damp squib! Possibly the one thing that stood out of it all was the beautiful transformation of the wedding hall - my praise could also be a by product of having watched the interiors of the Harem and DEK relentlessly for the past 1 month!

JA-JO SCENE

Hmmm I don't know what to make of this confrontation between them. All I can say as of now, is that the leads looked good in their new attires. Beyond that, little else! There was a lot of nok-jhok, a few hidden compliments - nothing different to what we've been seeing the past month or so.

At least earlier; it seemed convincing. Today, it felt like even the leads were following their instructions without much ado. That or I've become so used to seeing the same thing so many times in the past 6 months that even such interesting leads are failing to add any further dimension to it!

TEJVANT

This fellow cannot act to save his life, can he? He looked as disheartened about his lady being promised to someone else as he looked elated about running away with her today. In his cotton pyjamas and his horse that materialized out of nowhere - riding with a Rajvanshi bride - wouldn't the couple be attracting more than their fair share of attention?

BENAZIR

Yawn!!!Yawner!!!Yawnest!!!

JODHA

I felt very dejected watching Jodha's plight as she stood there in the open field - wondering with whom her good-for-nothing sister must have gone with!

PRECAP

Typical saas-bahu wedding-cliffhanger stuff this!

Will rake in the TRPs and viewership, will bore the fans more!

MY TAKE?

-> 😆

Re: part in blue.

No, the point will not be whether Jodha intentionally helped Shivani elope. It will be that she knew about this liaison, which was why, in collusion with her family, they took advantage of Mirza Hakim's infatuation with Shivani, and decided to make him the bakra to ward off the likelihood of Shivani disgracing them with this kaarigar premi.

For Jalal to believe this would not be so strange. As for her assurances of her complete innocence, Jodha never believes Jalal when he says something sincere to her, now how can she expect trust where she offered none?

What I am waiting to see if the totally unrealistic scenario of Jalal going all saintly and rescuing Shivani and Tejwant, something that would have been impossible in those days of rigid hierarchies and pride of birth, will be adopted. I hope not, and then again it will not gel with the Benazir as Begum track that seems to be in the works. But if Jalal goes this route, I for one have done with him.

I am late as usual, as I did not see this thread. By the way, nice analysis Lashy. I so much wanted this elopement drama to be a dream sequence but it all went in the drains.

No doubt, Jodha will bear the brunt of Jalal's taunts and insults. Fully aware of Jo getting humiliated and also Amerians in the bargain. I am also quite prepared for MA's mirch masala.😡 and Vishkanya cum wrestler cum belly dancer cum facial massager to be announced as the to-be queen. What I am however eager to see is if he believes MA when she would say that Jo helped in the elopement. If he does, then he really doesn't use his brains. I mean, he knows for a fact that Jo is a very proud Rajvanshi who loves her family the most. Why would she help this elopement to just humiliate Jalal and thereby also hurt/embarrass/humiliate her own family. Other than that, I prepared for the worst.

In between I was also thinking if what Jo approaches Jalal first and tells him about the elopement (before MA). If that happens then there will be less heartache and MA would not be able to add her masala. But CVs aisa nahi karenge. 😡 They want more drama to shoot their TRPs high.

Thanks for your analysis aunty. I have been a big fan of your writing and JA analysis. However I beg to differ a bit. Though your pointing out that Jalal believing that Jodha knew of the liason and was all along playing along can turn out true (mainly due to MA), I would still want to test his belief in her. I agree that Jodha disbelieves him a lot (though she has made steady progress too) and her assurances will go in the drain, but they have come a long way from where they had started. So I am eager to see if he believes all that MA says particularly when she would that Jo is playing the game when her family (that she truly loves and he certainly knows this fact) are sure to get rebuked and ridiculed in return.

Lashy missed the episode, but watched it online.. BM-Jalaal & jalaal-HM scenes are good.. JJ not much impressive..

The set is stage for Jodha humiliation... I want to see whether Jalaal will be anger on Jodha only, or all Ameeris.. If Jalaal will be anger on jodha as she is the one who make the arrangements for Shivani-HM marriage, while she is the one who helped her sister to elope..

Will he blame & insult all ameeries before others likeMA, Adham, ruqu and all. Will jodha bring shivani or either jalaal soldiers can bring back shivani with her lover or not ?

Jalaal will surely announce his wedding with BEN in anger..Jodha might save him... So will jodha will be in Agra or go back to Ameer ? Will Jalaal get to know letter truth or it will vanish like previous MA kands ? Will Shivani tell before Jalaal that MA blackmailed her ?

Happy Sankranthi... Pongal.. Lohri... To all 🥳
