Jodha Akbar 152: A shaky light at the end of the tunnel? - Page 5

Thank you so much, Mandy, and I love you too and I am glad you are here. But for you and some others like you, I would never have the energy or the inclination to cook up all these over long posts! And I too hope the shaky light steadies itself and does not go out.

shyamala, short post bhi chalega🤗

Thank you so very much, my dear. Such informed praise is always a morale booster, even if I feel that it is perhaps too generous! And I am glad you wrote in at long last. Do make this a habit!

As for Jalal's intelligence, no one would be more relieved than I if he got it kickstarted for keeps. I am keeping my fingers crossed tightly enough to qualify them for a pretzel contest!😉 I agree with you about the real significance of Ruqaiya's peroration, which was Part 2 of the earlier one after she had halted the kheer eating session in mid track.

Shymala Ji, I love to read your posts. Your knowledge of history is impeccable. Your understanding of the dynamics in the serial and the way you you break it down for lesser gifted mortals like us is a joy to read.
I believe that the makers of the serial have decided to resurrect Jalal's intelligence. The entire Jalal-Ruq conversation was very instructive. It seemed as if they wanted Ruq to raise all those questions that the audience has been asking about Jalal's decision making ability.
And the way he answered that no one can fool the emperor of Hindustan, it seems as if he was speaking not to Ruq but to the audience, as if the Ben track is some sort of devious scheme in his mind and for the audience to have patience.

If @red doesn't happen or if the Ameris don't hunt down the selfish truants and kill them and prove their loyalty to the Shahenshah, or bring them on their knees to the Emperor to be mercilessly punished, the show will become intolerable to watch; I can't watch an Emperor who plays with justice. He had punished AK for questioning his nikaah with Ruqaiya and wanting to marry Tasnim. But it is nothing compared to what this teakwood-face and pudding-face have done. If Jalal swallows this incident and show 'mercy' which would be nothing but gross injustice, I'll hate to watch him any further.😡 As usual HB is going to expect him to 'understand' as she did in the case of Bairam Khan. Jo too was in a defensive mood in the precap. If Jalal 'understands' what mohabbat has done to him, an Emperor and so spares the duo, throwing Mughal Saltanat's izzat and Haakim's disappointment to the winds, he will be the thinnest doormat that ever existed in the world.😡. The entire riyaya can then do anything in the name of Mohabbat.

Hi Shyamala. With regards MA overreaching herself, as they say in tamil, pala naal kallan oru naal aapadavaan. That is her kissa. Coming to an Emperor's justice - TE has my complete sympathy in this situation since he is struck in a very hard place thanks to MH, Shivani, Ma, and his 2 khaas begums!

Yes Shivani deserves to be punished and so does her lover, yet the msg this would send to the ppl is that the cannot love or if you do then you shd sacrifice it for family izzat. There is a need to punish a misdemanour yet not condemn love and lovers. But my dear, in that age,no one, but no one among the common people, would accept love as an excuse for disgracing your family, or praise the Shahenshah for supporting the lovers. They would condemn him for furnishing a very bad example for their young, and inciting them too to rebel against parental authority and wishes. His letting the runaways go scotfree after the humiliation to the imperial family would be seen as criminal weakness and invite only contempt.

Wonder how justice will be done! One very interesting possibility - both the lovers are sentenced to death by 'deewar mei chunwaana' and once the last brick is laid Jalal can get the lovers to be sent far away where they wount be found. Yes TE takes it on his head of being heartless but he did this many times - seemed heartless when actually was being kind. This would satisfy justice all round.

I did a post on this option for Motibai. It was

26) Jodha Akbar 46-48: Will Jalal do a Mughal-e-Azam?

https://www.indiaforums.com/forum/post/90629016

Of course it all came to nothing. I do not think it will be any different now, for all that they borrow a lot from Mughal-e-Azam, even the overhead shots of the dancers at the jashn last week were like the shots of Pyar kiya to darna kiya, of course vastly inferior.

Wonder how the team at EK deals with this. As for la grande amor - EK is catering to aunties who may sing songs of Radha Krishna but who have no clue of la grand amor hence do not understand Jayadeva's kritis!
No they don't and if they did, they would be scandalised!😉

I have been team salima from the start. i am sure akbar would have shared a great relationship with her, and if history proves right they go on to have children of their own. i wonder if writers will ever show that in the show here, that would be interesting relationship to develop far more soothing for the sense than highly strung miss upitty jodha.

i would love to see their love story as well but this show is about jodha and akbar, i doubt if any other love story will be highlighted..how i wish there was a show just on the life of akbar made by some other well known production house...!
