So I was having so much fun writing the Take 5 that now the CVs look like have they decided not making it easy for me ... They want me to work a little harder (breaks a sweat) 😉
Lot of drama in the offing😆😆
Anyways, the episode itself today was not bad ... It is just the darkening clouds of the future that is keeping the forum in the dumps. But, I have said before, I am not going to assume the worst till it happens. Adi and Abhay's posts have also cheered me up that in the end the victim of this drama will be MA.😊
And from now on I have decided to criticize the CVs for character inconsistencies instead of yelling at Jodha and Jalal who were intelligent and rational people in real life. I know there are strong Jodha and Jalal fans out there and I do not want to hurt the sentiments of either when it really is the CVs who are playing a game with us!
Yes there are many ardent fans on both sides😆😆. SWs are to be blamed majorly for the inconsistencies and loopholes.
With that preamble (sorry guys, am in a talkative mood today), let me go to the take 5 today:
(1) Bond between Jalal and Atgah Khan: It is really touching to see the bonding between Jalal and Atgah Khan. The worry Jalal spurred into action to save him. Jalal running by Atgah Khan's side immediately. Jalal's relief to find out if he was safe. I particularly liked the dialogue where Atgah Khan described himself as Jalal's armor and Jalal, with a lot of warmth, recognized him as a father-like figure who he cannot afford to lose. As we know in history, that sad day will come - I can only hope they will show Jodha at his side consoling him.
That was a good scene and Jalal has high regard for Atga who is very loyal to him.
What I didn't like was half clothed Atga lying and Jalal begums standing there and seeing him😆😆
(2) Build-up towards the end of Adham Khan: I also liked how history is progressing towards the downfall of Adham Khan. The Atgah Khan attack was related to the embezzlement of funds
Yes hopefully we will get to Adham and with a new dress please😆😆.
(3) Akdha interaction: It could have been a lot more but in any case it was nice to see the two together on screen. I was surprised that Jalal was not shown perceptive enough to see she as upset as in the past. But, she was not well, there was a lot going on, so maybe the CVs are showing that he thought that was what was driving it. I also like Jalal's openness to Jodha about his progress with Sujamal. I am not sure why CVs are showing Jodha unwilling to trust Jalal on her position with Sujamal. But, the CVs need TRP drama don't they ;)
The scene showed the blunder Jodha commits. Well not always can Jalal try to read his begum who never bothers to share her feelings despite talking about the subject. Jodha's distrust and lack of faith on Jalal is making her commit the blunder. Putting her marriage at stake is not a sensible thing esp in that century. Menawati had already told her to learn to value marriage but still she isn't valuing it.
However, this does not mean a MU ... But more an argument. I think a lot of people have mentioned that the track might be for Jalal to confront Jodha on why she doesn't trust him. The CVs have not shown Jodha be very forthcoming of her feelings to Jalal ... Perhaps, after this track Jodha will be shown to be more open and transparent to Jalal. You know it is harder to understand these CVs than I thought! 😆
Exactly Jodha needs to learn to value her marriage and develop her relationship with her husband. She needs to reciprocate the affection, care, respect , trsut and faith bestowed on her. Jalal has been understanding and kind to her now. Jodha's transformation is expected.
(4) Differences between the movie and the serial which gives me further hope that this Sujamal track is not going the movie way:
- Unlike the movie, MA is not calling all the shots of the Sujamal-Jodha meeting; in the movie, MA sent the letter and told Jalal that she is meeting her prior fiance (who is not alive now); here she is waiting for Jodha's next move
- Chronology: MA creates this misunderstanding reeling from the death of her son and after Atgah Khan's death; obviously the movie was showing a very different history than what the serial is showing!
(5) Tie break between two as it was tough to find five today as I felt there was a lot of screen space with Moti singing! That did not make my top 5. 😆
- Sujamal finally got a lot of screen space today and this is long overdue given this track is about HIM. He will be around for a while as Jalal entrusted Sharif to find him and we still need to see him dressed around as a woman.
- MA is flying too high: Somehow I feel she is abusing the new power given to her as Atgah Khan is recovering; for example, with the three new people she brought to serve Jalal, etc. I feel this is her last udaan before her big fall.
And I leave you all with a question: So, I am beginning to think the promo was symbolic. Jodha has already met Sujamal once. The second time will be in the mandir and MA is coming by herself- MA won't tell Jalal this time itself till she knows what is going on. Why would Jodha visit Sujamal a third time? Could it just be that Jalal observes secretly coming back after this second visit and looks surprised and hurt on what Jodha is hiding from him? Would love your thoughts.
And, what other thoughts do you have on the episode today?
