Friends, I am sorry I can't do my usual kind of update today as some other very urgent family work has to be given priority. But these are the few points I want to highlight from yesterday's faltoo filler episode:
Jalal stays silent even when Ruq insults Jodha?
I absolutely didn't like the scene where Ruq comes to where Jalal is sitting in the garden and Jodha is applying her lep to his hand wound. Ruq grabs the lep and insists she is the Khas Begum and must be the one to apply the lep and sends Jodha off from the scene with major insults that she is a "kabab mein haddi" in the Ruq-Jalal relationship! And alll the while Jalal is sitting silent and watching, not saying a word in Jodha's defence, and actually looking at Jodha in a mocking way! I dunno what to think of his etiquette and manners, leave alone his sense of fairness. Not nice at all, Creatives! Even if you want to show him brainless, at least you can show him to be more decent than that? All I can say is that he's in for a major shock when Jodha's truth comes before him and she puts her life on the line to save him. I hope to see that sarcastic look wiped off his face and I want to see Ruq look like pulp!
Hamida, Salima and Moti seem to know that Jodha's in love
Other than Jodha herself, who keeps insisting she is not in love with Jalal and its all just kartavya, Moti, Salima and Hamida all seem to know that Jodha is in love with Jalal already. Salima brought Hamida up to speed with the Ben boatride happenings and insisted that Jodha should be the one to solve the Ben case as she needs to do this for her love for Jalal. Hamida concurred. Moti insisted that Jodha and Jalal were both in love with each other but too pig-headed to accept. All in all, the Creatives seem to be giving us viewers some lollypop dialogues about "love" till this Ben track is over, just in case we stop watching and the TRPs crash even more! Don't get fooled guys, this is a dubious sanket! Till we actually see love, we shouldn't believe these dialogues!
Maham twists Ruq into all kinds of knots
An already angry Ruq, miffed with the fact that Jodha was always butting into her life with Jalal, was further instigated by Maham using entirely twisted logic. When Ruq said triumphantly that she had managed to grab the lep from Jodha, send Jodha packing and applied the lep herself to Jalal, Maham said "Oh, you poor thing. Why did you apply Jodha's lep? See how cleverly Jodha has managed to offer her lep to Jalal and also make you her servant for applying her lep to his hand!" Maham then also added "Ask yourself why Jalal has not punished Jodha for her lies about Ben, why he has exonerated Bharmal in the Shivani case ... you are fast losing your place and your audha and you need to send Jodha out of Agra and Jalal's life pronto. Meanwhile please continue to eat food for the food has done nothing to you!". What a brainless nut this Ruq is to fall for this line! Fully wound up thus by Maham, Ruq smashed an apple to the floor! What a food-wasting and time-wasting scene!
Creatives give isharas of the next tracks
Via Jalal at the DEK the Creatives gave us some few clues about upcoming tracks. Jalal was seen asking Atga what happed to the Chanderi battle, and was told that Hakim has triumphed, and ManSingh had acquitted himself handsomely as well. Jalal immediately announced that he would be giving ManSingh a mansabdari to which Maham tried to object saying he was very young. But Jalal said he too had been very young when he took over the Sulltanate! Maham then said Jalal should catch the boatride attacker, to which Jalal replied "Leave that to me!" (since the miscreant was his own Jodha). That zipped Maham's mouth. Then Jalal also asked Adham why he was in Agra instead of "minding his own business" in his fiefdom, to which Adham said something about being in remote control. Jalal then asked Atga if Shivani and Tej had been caught yet, (which they weren't). So evidently, the return of Hakim and ManSingh, the promotion of ManSingh, the watchfulness over Adham and the capture of Shivani and Tej are on the cards imminently, after the departure of Ben. But my question is: where is Rahim and the Jodha letter?
Ben leads Salima and Jodha through a town trip
Following a sneaky-looking Ben in baandhi clothes, Jodha and Salima also go to the city market (in their own baandhi clothes) where Ben is to meet a Kamaal Khan (agent of Abul Mali who sent her a paigam and map - inside a darbooz - on how to release Mali from prison ... and asked her to meet him in the city market). Ben however, when fixing her loose payal, caught sight of the two Begums following her, and in a bid to lose them she ducked into a bangle shop. But alas, the two Begums saw through her ruse, for she was buying rather cheap bangles considering that the next day she was to marry a Shahenshah! Thus alerted that they had been spotted by Ben, Jodha and Salima decided that they had better return to the Palace ... the whole trip was about to become a "tain tain fiss" when suddenly a piece of usable subooth fell into Jodha's and Salima's hands. Thus thewalk through the city market in barely-disguising baandhi clothes seemed to be worth something in the end!
A town crier brings news of a vital subooth
Hardly had Jodha and Salima decided that the trip behind Ben to the city market had been futile, and were ready to return home, than a town crier apppeared beating a dindora and saying "The well in the town has been poisoned. Beware. Several have died already after consuming that water!"Jodha immediately recognised the well as the one Ben had jumped into ... and Salima then completed the jasoosgiri by proclaiming "We have our vital subooth"! The question is whether Jodha and Salima wll now run to Hamida with this news or will they run to Jalal? Or will Jalal get to know this by himself from Atga and his men? And will this bit of news at least make Jalal more suspicious of Ben and believing of Jodha? If Jalal still doesn't see the connection between the poisoned well and Ben he really is thick in the head!
The precap: Adham tries his diirty hand with Ben?
I am a bit confused about the precap, because Adham Khan was seen giving Ben some lecherous looks in her room, while describing her looks, her husn and her "zeher" as appealing and compelling! Now did Adham give Ben a hint that he knew she was a vishkanya, or was he just being his usual self i.e. running behind anything in a skirt? Was that just an unhappy choice of words about "zeher" that made Ben nervous, or was Adham trying to blackmail Ben to have a fling with him just before she became Mrs. Jalal? He sure looks like he's dying for a bite (pardon the pun!). And my million dollar question: Ben has still not mounted that "spoiler horse", so are we in for another faltoo filler episode today also with her galloping about the countryside in yet another set of clothes?!!!
