No matter how publicly and officially Balaji and Ekta has removed herself from Jodha Akbar the treatment's telltale sign says it is Balaji after all. Why am I saying this, from my TV soap experience so far!
I refrain from watching any shows and specially Balaji shows, my experiences have not been very appealing so far. First Kutumb and then Kis desh mein nikla chaand and believe me both the shows showed exact same situation like in Jodha Akbar now.
In both shows the female protagonists lied and concealed something big and major from the male protagonist and initially the hero refused to believe anything wrong from their other half but with constant egging from the antagonist and the circumstances right in front of them made them finally burst and explode just like Jalal did last Friday and then the heroine would leave without even acknowledging that they were wrong and then the male lead would be on their knees, begging, crying and asking for forgiveness! I am sick and tired of all this, over and over again!
Why can't there be something innovative for a change, something new, out of the box theory? Are the writers so retarded, so redundant, so repetitive, so saturated that they can't think of something new? It is always to show the female protagonist in a brighter holier than thou light you make the male protagonist look like a malevolent, malicious, egoistic, insecure fool! Believe me I am really up to my brim with all these!
Jodha is dignified and self-respectful and like any other wife or woman felt highly insulted by Jalal's accusations and very rightly so she left, any woman will! Perfect! But what I felt lacking like always was she not for once recapitulated or pondered on as to why this happened. All the blame was heaped on Jalal for not trusting her but not even in her letter or to her own self she thought that she was also to blame for this whole fiasco!? She also didn't blame her brother Sujamal once who very foolishly handled this entire situation? All blame went to Jalal! This is what bothers me CV's all the time! Ek haath se taali nahi bajti. If in real life situation all couples thought like this and reacted the same way there will be no marriages left, I think.
Now it will be Jalal's penance all the way realizing his mistake and looking for Jodha and bring her back and put her in a pedestal but I want to see Jodha's penance as well, both has to meet half way, both of them were wrong, both of them said and implied the wrong things, then why will only Jalal suffer and apologize? 2 person makes a marriage work, onus can't be only on the husband who was not completely wrong in his reactions, then why will only he suffer?
And you are playing with history here, please don't forget that. Seriously if Jalal was like this I don't know how he was declared as the famous and best emperor of Indian history. And now again Jodha after meeting Jalal again will instigate Jalal to get rid of pilgrim tax and he will then be enlightened and will do it. He couldn't think of it on his own even after he was imprisoned for it? He took no action, nothing at all on this regard! Ridiculous CV's, simply unimaginable preposterous emperor you are making out of Jalal!
If you are intelligent enough CV's then I would like to see a new treatment meted out to Jodha and Akbar, if not then like all other shows I will bid adieu to this show as well, not that it will make any difference to you because the Indian audience are so accustomed and tuned to see these scenario umpteen number of times that they don't even feel anything wrong in the story line, treatment or execution!
In hope for the better...hoping you will create HISTORY with this historical epic love story...make it EPIC in every possible way!
