Take 5: Top 5 highlights from February 11th - Page 2

Originally posted by: divyavm

Today, was a pleasing episode in many respects, especially given the screen space Akdha received. There were some similarities across scenes, especially the Akdha ones, so today I am going to do a take 5 of the top 5 themes from the episode:

(1) The recurring shove: It is interesting how the shove was mentioned twice in today's episode- once in the boat ride and then during the dinner. In the boat ride, Jalal highlighted how the shove was what shook his trust in her which was a good revelation. In the dinner scene, it was clear why Jalal did not want to push the shove too much as he was afraid it would build a deewar between them after he was enjoying the attention of his baaghin. What I am surprised by is both times Jodha looks awkward but doesn't say anything. I have begun to wonder if she believes this is just one of the many bad incidents between them as she referred to in the dinner. Till she finds out about the letter MU, I am not sure if the CVs will allow Jodha to understand why Jalal is so hurt. The good news is it looks like the CVs will somehow bring closure to the shove, even if they stretch the track like chewing gum. Given it is an Akdha track, for a change I am not complaining if it is stetched. 😊

Jalal is mentioning shove all the time, poor guy keeps hoping Jodha will say now she will not shove him😉😆 He is so eager to confide his feelings, ab Jodha kuch nahi kahti to wo kya kare, He will not confide till she says something and she does not know he did not misunderstand so puri sikri trip sirf ankho ankho me chali jayegi😆 Rahim jaldi aa jao

(2) Traveling down memory lane both directly and indirectly: I love it when the CVs show parallel scenes to prior ones as you can see the progression of our leads with both the boat scene and the palenquin scene.

Reliving the boat scene: Like hand scenes, looks like we are always treated to a handful of boat scenes. Compare this boat scene to the one on the way to Amer; before Jodha gingerly gave one hand, here she gives two; this time she falls on him and there is no awkwardness.

For the palenquin scene, it was great to see how Jalal's expressions had evolved from only attraction to love. Now Jodha also felt his presence more and I always love flashbacks of the Amer scene. Looking at other posts, it looks like many folks liked the focused gaze on the foot and Jodha shyly hiding her feet. 😉
😆

(3) Everyone knows these two are in love except them (ok, let me correct, Jalal is now in the know 😉): Loved how the folks during the dinner mention how Jodha must love the Shehenshah a lot- Jalal immediately looks at Jodha to see her reaction. I think he knows what that smile of Jodha's means- Hasee to phasee. Even funnier, the Mughal soldier who arrests them recognizes their love for each other. Yeh Jodha kab samjegi? 😆
Ye dono ko lag raha hai kash humari mohabbat dusare ke samaz aa jaye bina kuch kahe😆

(4) The journey to getting rid of the tax seems to be that of Jalal on his own: When they asked for the pilgrimage tax, I expected Jodha to give a baashan on the tax and Jalal will decide to get rid of it. However, instead, we see Jalal taking extreme efforts to understand what his people are going through both in the jail and the whipping tomorrow. Hence, it shows a transformed Jalal / Akbar trying to understand what his people need instead of Jodha guiding him, as she did in the Tasleem track. I would love if this is continued to be shown as Jalal's brain-child.

(5) Other nok jhok: Loved Jodha's concern for Jalal throughout from the scene where she says she wants to rest so Jalal to rest to the precap. Also, loved Jalal's sense of humor when he instructs his soldiers to call him sethji, shows off his Marwari accent to his gharwali (how nice that sounded), and accepted to stealing in jail (was he referring to his Jodha begum's heart?) I am coupling all these scenes together as they brought one big smile to my face in culmination. 😃

I wrote the same thing on other post, Jalal is going to say kisi ka dil churaya hai😆

Some other thoughts:

So, what was with not showing the precap I have watched yesterday's precap so many times that I can live without seeing it today if only they had not wasted so much screen space to Cheapudhin, AK. I can even take the Javeda scene as it was great for her to test if MA is a vishkanya

Hope this journey of Jalal and Jodha lasts for a while - their Ajmer trip was too short- this better be longer. We still haven't seen the spoiler pic with Jodha's glass bangles which gives me hope.

So, what did you like in today's episode?

Yes we got all crowd scenes, no just Jodha Jalal scenes yet

hmm today Jallu mentioned the spurn twice...I'm feeling it will be solved soon...and it is must ! Jodha both the times didn't say anything..I think she doesn't want to bring any bitter topics to ruin her moment with her Shehenshah...she was enjoying the moments to the T..😆 Jalal talking about the shove itself is proving he is eager to take their relationship to the next level..seeking for her permission..though Jodha's eyes do convey the love, but she needs to say it loud..Jalal won't go far if she doesn't give him the signal.

How Jodha was recalling the first look of Jalal during the gangaur pooja..and in parallel Jalal recalling her in palki...beautiful...then he looked at her feet, her payal..Jodha felt shy, hid them, looked at Jallu, he was embarrassed !😆 I loved how Jodha read the necessity of a break in Jalal's eyes, Jalal toh manne se raha so she decided to make an excuse of her demanding break, so that he can rest too...this was beautiful.❤️

"Jodha Bai Shehenshah se kitna prem karti hai" Jalal looks at Jodha for signal...she smiles, well like u said it was a signal..but Jalal won't go further till she says it is loud and clear...I loved how shy she was...Jodha is very near to confession...and then when the foodman said "Shehenshah apne Begum se kitna prem karte hai..do jahan ek kardi apne Begum ke liye.." Jodha was so happy...awww

then the said "suna hai dono ki jodi bade choko lagoso" I was like hell yeah !! they look perfect !☺️ JaJo stole glances enjoying every bit of the convo...and then comes another moment...Jalal told the guard not to put Jodha in jail, it is only him...how Jodha stood up..."jahan humare pait waha hum" in marwari...what an adorable hubby-wife these two r !! both cannot leave the other one for a sec...

no wonder the guard was compelled to say "lagta hai bahut mohabbat hai tum dono mein"...JaJo ab confess karlo😆

P.S. during the boat ride I ROFLed at Jalal's humor...before Jodha could speak he said "nao chalao majhi" to avoid jhagda😆

P.P.S. "hum thara gharwala, tu mari gharwali" awww such a cute moment b/w JaJo🤗

P.P.P.S. I thin we all JAians think the same..in the last scene I even thought he is going to say "Ek Rajvanshi Shehzadi ka dil"

While I am enjoying the awkwardness / shyness, I want this to be resolved soon as well.

They both were embarrassed - it was so cute!

I love this caring and concerned Jodha

"Jodha Bai Shehenshah se kitna prem karti hai" Jalal looks at Jodha for signal...she smiles, well like u said it was a signal..but Jalal won't go further till she says it is loud and clear...I loved how shy she was...Jodha is very near to confession...and then when the foodman said "Shehenshah apne Begum se kitna prem karte hai..do jahan ek kardi apne Begum ke liye.."

Everyone will say they love each other before Jodha rani does! 😆

P.S. during the boat ride I ROFLed at Jalal's humor...before Jodha could speak he said "nao chalao majhi" to avoid jhagda😆

then why does he start the subject? He is so funny! He wants to resolve the shove but doesn't know how without a big fight!

P.P.S. "hum thara gharwala, tu mari gharwali" awww such a cute moment b/w JaJo🤗

Awww moment indeed!

P.P.P.S. I thin we all JAians think the same..in the last scene I even thought he is going to say "Ek Rajvanshi Shehzadi ka dil"

It is that sly smirk of his that we all caught!

Poor Jalal hopes atleast Jodha will say ab hum dhakka nahi denge😆 Ab kya kare Jalal ko kaise taise kar ke ye trip me usse kuch to kehalana hai

They both just smile shyly at each other when others talk about their love

Kya kar diya CVs ne, letter MU solve karke trip pe bhejana tha na?!

I don't want to see any love declaration in Agra😕 Fir Resham bhagte jayegi to tell Mayhem, yuck
