Akbar Jodha ...In continuation from where we left DT Nt Pg 125&152 - Page 47

As for this otherwise dismal episode, there was one closing lollipop. Rajat's Jalal was tops, not in the early scenes, but in the shamsheer fight. He was mischievous and teasing, and on top of it all right thru, making one feel that one was about a 100 episodes back. If he had had someone better than a sulky, badly behaved girl to play off, he would have been even better. However, he was still the sole bright spot in such a lousy episode.

If he had really been like Rhett Butler, he would have said My dear, I don't give a damn! and walked off.

He also looked much better, though the scenes of him bandaged all over showed clearly that he needs to lose some more weight. The planes of the face were sharper, and the old handsomeness, which was getting lost in the puffy face he was sporting from the time he had that accident, was also back. He now needs to build on this, and get back to the Jalal of the Amer escapade.

Another point. They should not copy wholesale from the film like this. That pairing, of Hrithik and Aishwarya, was beyond compare, both for looks and for their chemistry. In fact, a commentator on a serious article about the Emperor Akbar in Mint magazine joked in the end that

(a) Salim must have been the handsomest baby in the whole of the Mughal empire, and

(b) Akbar now had a gorgeous face, and his name was Hrithik.

Now Rajat can hold his own against anyone, thanks to both his looks and his tremendous talent, and he will not suffer due to such a comparison. But this jodi is a different matter. So when they lift scenes and sequences whole hog from the film, viewers are bound to look back to 2008, and the weaknesses of this show are then seen all too clearly.

And Tripti, it is pointless to compare Rajat and Hrithik; each is superb in his own way. One is not better than the other.

Finally, it is not that "the backlog of Hatred was absent, which is the main reason for the OTT drama on the show. 😆". It is really the other way around. This Ekta show NEEDS to be OTT, whence the hatred leit motif.

ME TOO!!! The JA movie is one of my favourites, I've watched it literally nearly 50 times. 😆

Ash-HR ARE UN-PARRALLELED. As a couple, in their beauty, as Jodha & Akbar, in their chemistry!!!!

They simmered so gently , like gold over a fire, it was sheer beauty in every way, to watch them create that magic on-screen!!!

They dripped all of that Rsha, ALONGWITH manners, sanskaar & sammaan & all of tv Jodha's favourite maans & kaars. 😡

Ash's Jodha was independent yet every single inch a queen, right down to her be-jewelled ankles. 😳

HR was elegant, strong yet every inch an Emperor- He loved Jodha very much , but not at the cost of his duties as Emperor. I sorely wish TV Jalal realizes this sooner than later ( still not wanting to be too happy. 😆)

I do realize that the backlog of Hatred was absent, which is the main reason for the OTT drama on the show. 😆

But in my mind, the movie rules only that Rajat's Jalal rules over HR's.

I wouldn't want Jalal to accept Jodha till she comes back with her hands folded and says sorry for her impertinence, the way he apologised to her with folded hands for his anger. 😡😡

Guys do you realise why it was easier for TE to ask forgiveness and to forgive and why 'Mhaari Jodha' is finding it so difficult to forgive and ask forgiveness????????? And yes I am saying both becoz both need to be done - asking for forgiveness and forgiving.

don't ask 99 other reasons 😉. like to hear your say too,if you please.
