One question: Did anyone else feel that the pigeons Jalal freed were symbolic of Jodha - Jalal? These love birds were always entangled in conspiracies and controversies all the time.
I don't know why ... I know Jalal thought of Jodha and Sujamal in this scene... But I could only think of Jodha and Jalal and hope their love is freed from shackles soon enough ๐ณ
Divyam fantastic take and very rightly dedicated to Jalal. I wish today when Sujamal praised Jalal he had freed Jodha of his vachan or she had asked him to free her from it.
My take is this was NOT done so that angry Jalal will tell her she cannot go out. As it is Suj has told Jo HE will contact her when he has information to share. So he might learn something and come dressed as woman in haram.
I think this is done by CVs so that Suj can go to SD's hojara and find the painting or might even see SD acting strange and follow him, SD might go to meet Abul Mali. BTW MA told Jalal Suj is out of Agra and that might reach SD's ears and he might feel now he need not be cautious!
MA ๐ก๐ก๐ก๐ก๐ก๐ก๐ก๐ก๐ก๐ก
I am wondering what will happen after Jo (likely) refuses to tell Jalal about who she met. I hope she atleast tells him she cannot say now but it concerns attack on him and his safety.
Today I am dedicating my take 5 to Jalal because today he proved to me how much I love his character and his transformation in the show! So to the five shades of Jalal today:
(1) Thinking Jalal: The first time he sees Jodha meeting Sujamal: I loved how he continued to be only puzzled and not angry. Even MA was shocked, and I must admit I was too! He continued to think of who it could be and why. Even after MA's set up of the spy telling Sujamal had left Agra, Jalal did not seem convinced. He was still thinking. I always love a thinking Jalal! But when it comes to his Jodha Begum, he always thinks! ๐
(2) The Friend Jalal: In the Akdha interaction, I Loved Jalal's patience here. The freeing of the birds I felt was symbolic of freeing both Jodha and Jalal from their troubles- that is how much he really wants to help her. He approached her as a friend to tell her what was bothering her. He was hurt that she did not tell the truth but again trusted there was a reason she was hiding the truth. ๐
(3) The Ziddi Jalal: Loved his self-talk that though he understands there is a reason she is hiding the truth, as a husband and Shehenshah he needs to know for her safety and he will find out. ๐
(4) The warm Jalal: I loved the sudden hug Jalal gave to Atgah Khan when he saw him. Not only was he happy to see Atgah feel better, but he also needed someone's support during this difficult time. I also am glad he entrusted Atgah to help him over MA. Suggests the downfall of MA. โญ๏ธ
(5) The protective Jalal: Loved how he was so protective of Jodha. After sending Atgah after her, he apologizes to himself that it is not because he doubts her but for her security. And, as soon as he saw her going in another direction, he himself changed disguise and went after her. ๐ There was a combination of Ziddi Jalal here to. Sujamal must be quick that Jalal could not follow him ๐
Honorable mentions: It is not like I did not like anyone else in the episode other than Jalal but I felt like dedicating this countdown to Jalal because I could see nothing beyond him. But here is a few honorable mentions:
-Jodha's self-talks showing that she is in a dilemma and feels like she has done a gunnah by hiding the truth; CVs are trying to justify her actions because of her vachan to Sujamal and worry for his life. No surprises here but glad CVs are finally showing her mental dilemma.
- Atgah Khan's instant recognition of Jalal's worry; contrast that with Maham Anga!
-Sujamal will not meet Jodha again till he finds out about the traitor- phew!
- MA showed a few signs of failure today: (1) She was wrong on Jalal's first reaction, (2) Did she think Jalal would believe a spy over Jodha on Sujamal? And (3) She could not follow Jalal this last time- limiting riling up capabilities.
A few predictions:
- Sujamal will now enter the palace as a woman to investigate
- Ruqs will get the harem back; at least Jodha will not be blamed if Sujamal is found in the harem as she is not in charge! I know right, wishful thinking! ๐
- Jalal will be upset and frustrated by this changed Jodha that he will yell at her to try to get out the truth (the promo scene)
- MA is trying tooo hard this time and leaving a trail behind ... I can see her downfall.
