You know what today's episode felt like ... We were expecting a big build up of so many tracks- the BEK election and Jodha and Sujamal's meeting- but the CVs seem to have twisted and delayed the climax of both. So, compared to the excitement we were expecting, probably the episode was not quite the punch we were looking for. However, taking a look at the episode on its own, it was not bad at all.
So, here is my take 5:
(1) BEK election- I see a lot of people unhappy with the elections and it was definitely not what we expected; but here is what I liked:
- Jodha wanted to win but not at the cost of relationships: Jodha did want to win. However, she did not want to do it at the expense of the Shehenshah and Salima's relationship with Ruqaiyya. As I predicted, Jodha had already told Jalal to vote for Ruqs. I think this continued to differentiate her from Ruqs and others - and I am fine with that. However, I don't think she realized her election would depend on those two votes- did you see the disappointment in her face when Bakshi Bano did not vote for her? (By the way I was wrong- Bakshi Bano's brains are still not back! 😡)
Many people were disappointed with todays episode and the twist at the end. I dont understand why they had such an election and an open one to cause enmity among people. Jodha is too much with her Mahan. Is she also going to sacrifice Jalal not to hurt Ruq. Why then did she stand up for the election? Didnt she consider the people who believed her and voted for her? There was no need of an election, they simple shouldnt had nominated Ruq for the post.
- Jalal voting for Ruqaiyya: I think this has fooled Ruqs in underestimating how much Jalal is in love with Jodha. I am happy with this. Ruqs wanted Jodha to win- the question was whether it would be by Jalal's vote or hers. And she tested Jalal first.If Jalal had voted for Jodha and Jodha won, she would have been even more vicious in her attack. Now, I think Ruqs is underestimating how hard it will be to separate Jalal from Jodha. That is a good thing for us 😉
- Nobody believed Ruqs intentions in letting Jodha win: From Jalal's perspective, when Jodha told him to vote for Ruqs, he didn't doubt her intentions for a moment. But, he immediately doubted Ruqs ... That what was the victory behind her ploy. He will instantly recognize if Ruqs tries to get too close to him. Same applies to all the other begums and Hamida Bano- nobody trusts Ruqs and this is her biggest loss while she thinks she became mahaan
- In the end of the day, it was only Jodha who won in Jalal's eyes!
(2) Cuteness of Jalal in two scenes even amidst all this drama: 😳
- When Jodha asks him to vote for Ruqs, he cutely asks what is his "rishwat". I hope he persists on this ... I have a long list Jalal that you can ask Jodha. 😆
- When he announces the jashn, he tells MA he wants to tell Jodha himself- so cute looking for excuses to meet her ... I am guessing this was the reference in the precap that he came to meet her.
Many are fearing that by Jodha taking care of the harem Akdha will have less time together but I think the opposite. I think they will be missing each other and realize more what they mean to each other. They will also be having quality time together. Furthermore, Jalal will be preparing her for the role as MUZ. 😉
(3) Sujamal and Jodha meeting: It was really touching and both Jodha and Sujamal nailed the expressions. Jodha was truly torn as a wife and sister. I am guessing some may be disappointed that she let Sujamal go and the sister won out- but given her forgiving nature, it was only expected. One could argue that Jalal never gave the death sentence initially to his brother-in-laws; similarly Jodha can't see her brother dead.Also, I know she believes that Sujamal is innocent in the war crimes he is accused of and Sujamal's words reinforced that.
That was expected from forgiving Jodha.
A prediction: I am pretty sure this is not the end of Sujamal: I am guessing something will happen during the jashn (these jashns are sure cursed! 😆) ... I am hoping SD plans an attack on either Jalal or Jodha and Sujamal saves him or alternatively, Jalal is attacked (a la the movie) and Sujamal is blamed. Either way, no separation track please!
The way they are showing SD lusting Jodha more and more everyday, I think he will kidnap her and Sujamal will save her. Errrg! the thought of Jodha in his company gives me the creeps.
But I will be very happy to have a jealous and possesive Jalal. I hope love confession will come out from this track. (4) Ruqs- MA scene: No I am not crazy 😆... But whenever the villains discuss their plans and are already confident of their victory- they always lose. So, deep sigh of relief there. And Ruqs has staked both her husband and the harem- so she is losing both.
Also, both feel they have surprised everyone- but nobody trusts Ruqs, not even Jalal.
Poor them, their schemings and plotting have only made Akdha get closer.
An important warning: Hukka is injurious to health ...Ruqs continues to be a living example of that. 😆
(5) Precap was lovely: loved three things but will count as one.
- Ruqs was right, Jodha would be busy ... But what a lovely consequence, Jodha feels bad she could not meet her Shehenshah. Is this the same Jodha who used to ask Jalal, "Why are you here?" 😳
Before she used to take his company for granted. 😉
The longing will bring them even more closer.Can the CVs please use this busyness of Jodha as the quasi-separation track and skip any major separations, please??? (Okay, I know that is too optimistic!)
You might be lucky and have your wish answered. Zee people usually stalk IF forum. 😆
- Romance ka ek mauka nahin chodtha Hamara teda Jalal: Loved how Jalal praised her beauty as she was busy ... As if her being busy is going to stop the romance. 😉
I guess it is his way of encouranging her with her work.
- Jalal and Jodha were color coordinated: I remember an earlier scene (September 25th) where Jalal was swordfighting in his red jama; Jodha comes in the same yellow-red dress and tells him why he didn't send her to Amer and there was a cute lep scene. Can I hope that Jalal will practice sword fighting tomorrow?
So, what were your thoughts on the episode? Feel free to vent.
