Take 5: Top 5 Countdown for March 11th - Page 6

Indeed it was a terrific (Terrific is a bit too much, but not terrible in any ways for sure). Actually I liked the episode a lot. I watched it thrice and will watch tomorrow's repeat as well.

First scene Jalal-Jodha

o Its confirmed that slavery was not abolished due to Jodha. It was done long ago but just that it was still in practice.

o Hum intaja karthe hai aape, ayenda se baat chaheye kitne kadve ho, halathe chaheye kitne bure kyun na ho, aap be jijak ho kar hamare paas aye aur apne baat hume kahe. Hum wada hai aapse Jodha Begum ke hum aapke baat sunege, yakeen karenge aur ussspe tamil karene ke koshsh karenege. Hamre samne kitne parde the, wo aape he hai jo ek ek karke hata rahe hai. Jodha begum aap harme mein Gulami katam kareye aur hum saltanat mein karthe hai. I was very happy hearing him say this sentence. He trusts her so much now that, he promised her that he will always believe her and she can tell him anything no matter how bad it is. And the last sentence is what I liked the most - there were layers of parda in front of me and you are removing it one by one. I am as happy as Jodha.

Sujamal : he is doing everything what he can to save her sister's husband though he is his enemy. So much love, care and affection for her sister. I really don't want MU. He is such a nice Brother.

Jalal disguise : I liked the scene because he went and confirmed that slavery really does exist. Not that he doesn't trust Jodha, but he wanted to see and make sure. He didn't layback and give orders.

MA : Now that she has realized Ruq isn't doing anything. I guess MA will plan for something big. She might or might not include Ruq. But she will plan big for sure. And we all know whatever she does JJ will come closer from now on.

Last scene - Jodha-Jalal

o I loved it - nok jog, romance, dhakka, shy, zidh , sweey, cute

o I came here to take your permission - once I went ahead without permission and wo dhakka aaj bhi yaad hai... (when will Dhakka be resolved?)

o Kya aap hamre saath chalne ke izzath bakshagi hame - God she guy is so much in love.

o Aap ke saath jasna mein jaana hamarelie samaan ke baat hoge. (why don't you say Jodha that you love to be with him always)

o Aapne aise kyun kiya, why did you drink poison. ... Jaane the hai hum bohot ziddi Jodha begum... It was very very cute scene. I loved it.

Thanks for your take 5...was waiting for it.😊..excellent analysis as usual👏

Thanks so much and thanks for posting!

😆I too loved the first akdha scene..it showed how much Jalal trusts Jodha now and he has given her full powers to act in harem matters...that says a lot about his trust on her..😊 Loved it how he said, even if the circumstances are bad that she can approach him with any problem..and he will listen to her and trust her..

Yes, it was beautiful - and loved how the ishq hai woh ehsaas BGM played in the background as Jodha looked at Jalal leave 😊

Sujamal was good...this track, I am sure will bring Jalal and Jodha together...(I hope and pray because I cannot see Jalal getting more eager to hear Jodha' feelings for him...I am feeling very sorry for him 😭 I hope Jodha pulls him out of this feeling soon..

I am hoping too ... If Jalal can't wait , I can't wait even more 😆

Nothing can be said about the last akdha scene...what was not to love in it.?..We all are waiting for Jodha to tell her feelings to Jalal...
That will be one big celebration when it happens...
Hoping that it comes sooner than later...😊

Yes, the real celebration will be when Jodha accepts her feelings

It really surprised me to know that Jalal did know about this evil and had even passed a law to abolish it. But that is what a King can do. He can only pass the law. A king can't make sure that every corner of his sultanate is following the law. That depends on his administration and officials at lower level. Shahenshah should make sure that his people are in order before he tries to rein in the awaam in general.

Yes, it was a great historical point the CVs picked! I am impressed. Yes, Jalal needs a better team- can't wait for Todarmal to join!

At times, I can't help but compare the situation in 16th century and our country's administration woes today. Even today the laws are in place but their implementation is pathetic or none at all.

Very good point!

This makes me conclude that JA is much more than just a love story. It is a story of epic love which made a sultanate stand on it's feet 😊

Yes, it is a journey of a leader as well! Thanks for posting!

(1) How many days start with an Akdha scene... That itself was enough to make it a top 5. However, I liked it also for two specific dialogues of Jalal: 😳

- The line where Jalal tells Jodha that he promises he will always believe her; I think this shows how much his trust is strengthened in her and foreshadows no more MU between these two

- When he said that you end slavery in the harem and me in the sultanate, there was a beautiful balance between the Jodha and Jalal. It shows how Jalal is going to take Jodha's advice and make it his own to end slavery in the sultanate. This will being me to my second take.

-- Yes, humari Jodha badi hogayee and queen bangayee pata hi nahi chala... 😭 (Khushi ke aasuu... 😉)

(2) Jalal in action on slavery: Here is where I think Jalal gets credit ... Jodha's idea always starts at home, e.g., in tha Tasleem track it was about one girl, but he brings a grander vision to it, e.g., abolishing child marriage. The same is happening with slavery. Jodha sees at in the harem, but Jalal wants to eradicate it from the sultanate. Liked to see him in disguise with Atgah Khan and seeing the impacts of slavery first hand. It is not like he took action just because Jodha Begum told him- he looked it into himself. 👏

--True King indeed... 😊

(3) Sujamal: I am actually excited about this track now. It looks like he want go in disguise as a woman before the jashn so that means that Sujamal will not die saving Jalal.😃 I think he will thwart the attack and then go into hiding in the palace to find out who is supporting Abul Mali. I also love Sujamal's concern for his sister. He tried everything to help Jodha- Jalal by sending the letter to Atgah Khan- I can't believe Atgah Khan told Shareefudin. 😕

--- In a true serial sense, Atgah has to cough up to Sahreefuddin. 😆 Anyways, looking forward to Jashn.

(4) Great to see our usual cupids Hamida Bano and Salima back. It is always pleasant to the eyes. Three things I liked about the scene:

- Hamida Bano gave some many new dresses to Jodha- for Jalal to stare at Jodha in her new attire 😉 ; kaash she thought to give her son some clothes as well

- How when Hamida Bano said she sees both Jodha-Jalal enjoying each other's company; Jodha blushed beautifully

- The conviction with which Jodha says that Jalal gives her no chance for shikayat

--- What change in Jodha and Jalal!!! At first Jalal was the reason for her difficulties and now her hero??? 😃

(5) I absolutely loved the Akdha scene and here is why:

- The casualness of Jalal telling her to wear the Green dress

- The Shove resurfaces- but Jalal seems to be no longer bitter; earlier, he used to say it happened because she says one thing but wants another; today he said it was because he went too forward without her permission- I think it got the needed reaction: Jodha felt very bad

- I am glad Jalal is not slowing down as per Hakim Mirza's advice and is extremely persistent on finding out why Jodha saved him... He knows, but just wants to hear it from her

- And here is the best part: When Jalal says he is ziddi and he will get it out of her- I know he will never fail. And also, I have a feeling the jashn attack attempt will play an important role in propelling Jodha's feelings out. 😆

--- What a lovely scene it was... Jalal knows and Jodha knows. Jodha knows that Jalal knows and Jalal knows that Jodha knows.. we know that Jodha and Jalal both know. And the whole of Agra knows!!!! 😃

On a side note, I am not sure if I am madder at the baandhi you interrupted today or the one that interrupted the aarti scene.😡 Just kidding.

With Sujamal, Raja Bharamal, Abul Mali, and Sharifuddin in the mix, the jashn will be anything but normal ... which we are used to. 😆However, I am excited that this jashn I feel strongly Jalal's zidd will win and Jodha's feelings will come out. 😃

--- Hmmm, else be ready for many haddis in this Kabab in the form of Bandhis...😆

So, what were your thoughts on today's episode?
