Mahaam today was superbly over the top.
Jalal was correspondingly, and even more superbly, under the top.
Jodha was her usual sulky, self-righteous self, except that the mumps seem to have receded.
It would seem that having a directorial assistant all to herself is not helping any, in fact the opposite! There is not an iota of mental turmoil, of suffering, or of a sense of deep loss in her face as she is consulting Shaguni Bai. Decked out in her full Xmas tree regalia, she looks puzzled and only mildly concerned, as if she is trying to get Shaguni to unearth a lost piece of jewellery, not a lost love. 😉
Tomorrow, Jalal will turn the taps on full while a bewildered and almost scared Ruqaiya looks on, uncertain how to react. How I hate men who cry like this at the drop of a hat!😡
Shaguni Bai will dispense sage counsel to Jodha, unaccompanied by her standard Om, shreem, kreem, after which Jodha will sniffle again, and talk of prem, a sentiment of which she understands nothing but that it is a word.
Jalal is always looking for a shoulder to cry on, as he has to do so much weeping (Ekta must have written it into Rajat's contract!) . I bet the only candidate tomorrow will be Ruqaiya. It will be interesting to see how she reacts to Jalal dissolving into a puddle of self-pity in front of her.
But why not Hamida Banu, who must be hovering (literally, like a hovercraft!) in the wings, ready to unleash another bhashan on her pathetic son? Surely she would be more in sympathy/empathy with his torpedoed amar prem for her Jodha Beta? Why, she might then even be ready to look at his solo chehra !😉
I suspect that very soon, only diehard fans will be able to stick with this mess.
