So without much ado, here is my latest edition of Take 5:
(1) Jodha and Rahim scene: I am very excited that one of my predictions with this show was correct ... I had predicted on Friday that Jalal will see Jodha and Rahim together. That itself is enough to get it into my top 5. But jokes apart, I always love the attachment between Jodha and Rahim as it is very cute and beautiful. It always shows what a great MUZ she will be ... But Jalal was so sad and lonely today that his usual MUZ thoughts probably didn't come to his head today. He was just confused as to what to think of his Jodha Begum ... 😊
Its always a delight to watch Rahim and Jodha together. Well, after sometime( or a very long time😕) we will probably find Salim in place of Rahim.😊
Other than this, I will say that I just can't stop myself from praising this man. Just see how patient he is despite his state of mind! His attempt of dropping hints could not make any difference except Jodha realising that Jalal is drifting apart and that too so late. I'm glad there will be no more of this indirect conversation.
(2) The perceptive Jodha: I liked how Jodha sensed that Jalal and her were drifting apart and it actually matters to her that there is a distance. This seems to be different from after the Shove when they began drifting apart ... Then she never expressed her concern. Now she is ... Now the question is what she will do about it.
I am still not sure how she told him I have not hidden anything but still not get the hint that he might have heard about her night activities and know about her meetings with Sujamal. This is where I claim CVs are not consistent because Jodha is very smart and perceptive.
@bold...I agree. Jodha's instincts have deserted her and are holidaying somewhere. Now he has given enough of hints for anyone to doubt that something is wrong, the actual fact being nothing is right! It really upsets me when I see that the dicoverer of Shahenshah's heart is somewhere not able to read his heart. I'm glad that she has atleast made the slightest of the much required progression but actually its of no use because now its already too late to realize and act accordingly.
(3) The lonely Jalal: My heart still goes out to the lonely Jalal though I agree he can ask her directly and he will finally do it tomorrow. After the Salima/Rahim scene, I loved his description of how lonely he was feeling and what happens when a Begum stops supporting him. It was very touching. I also liked his statement that she talks to him but does not tell him anything after the Mazhar case. It showed how much the hurt was stemming from her not trusting him and not from the fact that she met another man.
Yes he is lonely, very lonely! 😭Presently his world seems the smallest to him without the someone special in his life to trust him the same way as he trusts her now. @bold...Their reaction was something usual these days-Jalal's face and sarcastic tone said everything about he being very upset and Jodha's puzzled expressions displayed her confusion of what she should make out of his behaviour!
(4) Jalal did not take out his anger on the Mazher case: The Mazher case today reminded me of the adultery case that came during the fake pregnancy track. Then, Jalal took his anger on Jodha on the lady and punished her to be stoned. Here, I like how Jalal did not seem to do that at all. He left the decision to Mazhar and told the lover she had already been punished by losing her lover's trust. I do not think Jalal made any statement on whether he supported the friend or the lover ... He just let Mazhar make the decision which is what it always should have been. Not sure if anyone else felt this ...
Yeah...I felt the same! His decision was good! I'm happy that he didn't get too personal to reflect the same in his decision. But being honest, I really didn't like this scene, for I feel cv's always make bad coincidences like this. I really don't like it when they make Jalal relate himself to these people in such ways. You can find better ways to demonstrate a changed Jalal or Jalal thinking over an issue but not horrible ones as these.
As everyone has already said, Jodha questioning Jalal over his decision is something even I didn't get!😕 What else can be more fair than Mazhar himself deciding who to live with rather than someone else, may be Shahenshah or anyone else deciding the same for him? Smart decision, I would say!
(5) The precap we are finally waiting for has finally come... The fact that it is coming on a Tuesday is itself is happy news as then it looks like this track will be ending this week as we all know how Sujamal will enter the palace. Glad Ruqs is hiring these folks! 😆But, here are two things I liked about Jalal's upcoming explosion:
- He first said Taqliya ... So this is not a public insult
- He clearly states that I am not upset because you met a ghair mard but because you hid it from me!
Finally, the wait is over. Its good that we will have no more of "catch my hints" and "I can't understand anything" scenes. This venting is something which is much required now. How I wish this explosion of emotions would come from both sides. But alas! That will not happen. We will have to watch Jodha's tears, silence and helplessness and Jalal's anger, pain and frustration!
Spoilers say that after this Jodha and Jalal will come close to each other as never before. And I was like this happens on a regular basis and then suddenly it appears that nothing had ever happened. Tell us something new!
Other article was about Jalal apologizing to Jodha! Even this is nothing new to us! This has left me wondering if a husband should apologize for trusting his wife, longing for a reciprocation and finally demanding an answer of his very genuine question. Doesn't he have the rights to do that? Why can't for once they show both of them apologizing to each other because none of them doing so can't happen and one of them doing it would rile up many?????!!!!! In case Jalal is the one who asks Jodha to leave Agra, a demand of apology from both sides will be fair but in case Jodha herself decides to leave, I will go for Jodha apologizing rather than Jalal, which will of course never happen.
So, conclusion is that cv's are experts in butchering characters be it Jalal or Jodha!!!!
A lot of today's episode footage was spent on Adam Khan and Pir Mohammed. While I am sure it was of historical significance and likely is another step towards Adham Khan's downfall, I will put it in my take 5 when it actually gets closer to Adham Khan's downfall.
This was painful to watch. I tolerated it keeping in mind Adham's downfall.
So, what were your thoughts on today's episode?
Episode was very much average for me. I'm only waiting for tomorrow's outburst. And Divya, this was a very good take, as usual!😃
