Today's episode belonged to Jalal/Rajat - every inch of it 👏...
There were a lot of illogical things in the episode that were obviously done to drag the track:
- Sujamal's second vachan which makes no sense once he is caught
- Jodha answering yes to his, "Do you love him?" When he is implying a totally different love.
- Jodha being silent through the whole conversation- the CVs did a big injustice to Jodha's character today
...
But, all is forgotten in what was Jalal / Rajat Tokas' brilliant performance. So, here is my take 5 dedicated to him:
(1) A trust that refuses to die: Kudos to Jalal, that even after all of this, listened to his heart and wanted to ask Jodha one last time that who was that man. My heart went out to Jalal when he touched his heart and said that his heart wanted him to ask her once more. His heart was still battling his mind.
The CVs chose to keep Jodha silent for a vachan that is no longer valid as Jalal already saw these two meet! It was just to drag the track.
(2) The depth of love: In his hurt and angst, you could see the depth of his love ... How much he loved and respected her ... How he never felt like looking at any of his other begums because he never loved them ... It was only love for her that had risen. His words spoke eons about his love and how much he too was looking for one word of reciprocation from Jodha.
Instead, he found himself believing that Jodha had done all of this under revenge ... A pain that would last his whole life vs. Ben's poison that would have killed him instantly.
Note to CVs: Jodha was not under any vachan to share her feelings with Jalal- she just could not take Sujamal's name.
(3) The physical hurt: Many noticed Jalal hurting Jodha but he gave just as much hurt to himself through the process as he banged his hand in the wall... He was hurt hurting her as much as she was getting hurt herself.
The silver lining: we now know why Jodha will kiss his hand. 😳
(4) The raising anger: Jalal/Rajat nailed the boiling anger as he asked his yes / no questions to Jodha that Jodha said yes to. The screams, the helplessness, his wanting to hurt her but not able to, just brought to life the turmoil he was going ... Even then, he could not hurt her and told her to leave, a punishment that would hurt him as much as her.
I can never forgive the CVs for having Jodha answer "yes" on did she love that man! It made no sense but to drag the track,
(5) The Shehenshah: I am glad Jalal still was under control, while broken. He brought his court together and criticized them for their inadequacy. The biggest thing: he did question Maham Anga on how this mistake happened as well as questioning Shariffudin. His minds were still sharp ...
One side note: Where is Maan Singh when you need him? Couldn't he identify the Rajvanshi and his motives?
All if this is going to sort out so I am actually going to have a very relaxed weekend for a change- though I know the CVs plan to drag this every minute they can. For all the illogical components of it, the only reason I will thank this track is we got to see the full potential of the talent called Rajat Tokas who truly embodied Jalal today.👏
