Beautiful Take DIVI Sunshine!!! 👏Thanks! Means a lot 🤗What a beautiful post Shraddha!
Beautiful episode on all fronts because I managed to see more sensible expressions and dialogues in ALL of the characters - thus explaining the nuances of ALL the relationships well enough in JA today.
Why can't JA CVs keep up the pace and the crispness of the scenes - not one part felt stretched or rushed and every expression/sentence made sense to meYes, the story did not move much ... The character nuances were amazing today
Ruqaiyya - Much as her reactions yesterday made her appear like an absolute fool - today we can see what's happening - she is clinging on to final straws. The fact that Jalal hasn't even turned once to her since his return (even before knowing of her hand in the Sujamal fiasco) and the fact that he preferred spending his night in an empty Jodha's room rather than with her or any other Begum is making her realize she's lost him forever. The fact that Jalal is never going to be hers in the same manner again is driving her insane!Yes, she is still trying to grip onto her childhood friend ... And its never going to be the same
Hoshiyaar's conversation with her made such sense - one can see how loyal he is to her, maybe not unlike how the slaves/KS of those days might have been!
MA - My God! What expressions on her face when she was waiting in her hojra till Resham came to fetch her (Resham's role is making such sense too and one can see the genuine affection between Resham and MA at this point)
How 'lost' did MA appear when sitting all alone on her couch - much as she said (and even did) all this for power - she can't come to terms with the reality that the price she had to pay for this power-politics was the loss of a truly loyal and loving son. She possibly was so blinded by the status and respect Jalal had given her so long that she failed to see the repercussions of any of her actions. 'Nothing can touch me till Jalal is on my side' had been her mantra. That formula has now been proven futile. Her defeatist expressions in the DEK were again amazing - 'What greater punishment for me than the fact that I've now lost the title of Ammijaan and am standing in front of my son like a culprit!'
The incidents have been such a shocker for her, she didn't even refute any of Atgah's words
The fact that she's lost a son is driving her insane!Exactly ... And she is acting insane!
ADHAM - I loved Adham showing earnest anger at the 'ruswaayi' that his mother was going through. I have always wondered if Adham loved MA as a mother or only as a step-stool for his own ambitions. Thankfully, I got to see glimpses of the former today.
His otherwise thundering powerful mother's downfall is driving him insane!Yes, especially when his Mom's power used to be his immunity
JALAL - As you noticed, one can only appreciate Jalal more and more with each passing episode. What a man... no serial character has blown away my breath as much as this guy and I've been following serials for 8 years now!Finally, RT perfectly portrayed how a strong king is affected by immense personal tragedies and how he's supposed to carry out his duty while not being allowed to breakdown. The manner with which he wore his royal adornments, the Quran adaab, his entry into the DEK with the royal music in the background - all exemplary.
Look at the way he rolls his fist as MA accepts all the charges against her! I am so glad they focussed only on the Jalal-MA angle today.
One sentence should be enough to describe what he must be going through 'I've always held your hand and sought your advice when in trouble and now I suddenly feel like a child who's hand has been let go by his mother in the middle of a busy bazaar... I feel lost'
Need I even explain what or why he's being driven insane?He was amazing ... Yes, a lost child he looked at times
HB- Thank God for small mercies... I've been crying and crying that this child needs a mother who can understand him and pray for him. Finally, I got to see a Jalal-oriented prayer from HB for her son and him alone. Phew
Her son's plight is making the mother in her lose her peace!About time
JODHA - Should I cheer or should I cheer - thank God for the flashbacks? The CVs have finally heard me... we are getting to see what she's going through. The list of what I'd hoped to see i.e. Jodha feeling/sensing/doing etc that I'd written elsewhere are coming to play one by one. Yesterday we saw the disturbed sleep and today the Tel Maalish scene. Today's scene was such a relief for many reasons - finally, I could see the woman missing her man - not a queen missing her king or any other excuse. (and no doubt, Jalal's teda avtaar was such a relief to see - even RT must have been fed up of crying and moping the past three weeks! The scene where a king does a tel maalish for his friend has been portrayed so beautifully! How sexy the manner in which he was undoing her choti as she sat down blushing nervously awaiting what was to come - very adorable picture after a long time)
Paridhi's lost expressions as she stared into the mirror, her sentences that weren't making much sense, the apt flashback - these are the kind of scenes we need to see more of to perceive a balance between the leads' feelings for one another (Not scenes like the Kali Ma mandir yesterday that really achieved nothing)
Thank you CVs - Now I definitely don't want her returning during the MA trials since that will again bring about empathy and kartavya rather than love. I want her only to return for the sake of 'love'
I can start seeing how her missing the Shehenshah and her love for the Shehenshah might slowly drive her insane.I think Jodha is giving the right expressions and emotions- but the CVs show her for a few minutes in such a disjointed way it is hard to string a story.
Beautiful episode and good balance between all the delicate threads of relationships that the characters in this serial portray!Beautiful take writer-e-khaas
