Awesome post on fantabolous episode Divya.👏 Equally hilarious post by Raksha. Your point #12 made be roll on the ground...LOL

I noticed Jalal was little irritated when moti came and asked what he wants and he said "LEAVE ME ALONE"...

RUQ wearing Ben's dupatta since last 3 days...She badly needs a dress change.

Awesome dialogues and execution today. Simply loved it and I almost fainted hearing Jodha's words.

Now when they meet, i just want everything to be standstill and Jojalal staring at each other for eternity, with BG music..

Thanks so much! Raksha is hilarious. Jodha's words were faint worthy and Jalal was awesome.

Let us see how the reunion is! I hope you are right.

Lovely take, Divya...

Lovely epi yesterday after a long time...hopefully, our show should revive from here onwards...Jo was definitely looking rejuvenated after her well deserved holiday...hope the cvs also take one, get rejuvenated & give us a great show from here onwards...😊...no more Rona Shona tracks now, I hope.

(N can I be the chairman of Todarmal Fan Club?...plz plz plz😆)

Thanks much! Yes, Jodha Akbar is back on track.

I can't believe there won't be rona shona again- but if the execution is good, I can deal with that!

Itna demand for a Todarmal fan club- kya ho rahah hein?!?

Divya, you were asking about JA anniversary, as per new article, they will consummate on their anniversary.😆Don't ask, how did they celebrate 2 holis in between.

I am still trying to fathom the precap and you are jumping to a spoiler :)

We knew the calenders were awry as the next ganguar came after two holis.

So my take- the holi date was wrong- mistake ho gayi- the ganguar date is right so anniversary abhi baakhi hai.

And you all were trying to convince me Jalal can't remember all his wedding anniversaries- how could he possibly forget his anniversary with Jodha? He still remembers how his hand trembled during that time.

Thanks! You don't know the keemat of your like- you are hard to please you know ;)

I am so fortunate to have some of the best and funniest fans and writers continue to post on my thread- so I can understand you get distracted.

Thank you for enumerating the positive points of a truly fabulous episode. There was so much gripping political drama squeezed into 20 minutes of the episode, that had this program been on STAR I would have started worrying about the pace, was the channel getting ready to say goodbye to the serial. Of course on the ratings starved ZEE there is no danger of that.

Seeing the pace of the last 2 weeks, it is quite possible that we may have the consummation long before the IPL ends. Like King Canute fighting the waves, the bosses at ZEE are willing to go to any extant get ratings in an environment where the channel's performance has been particularly poor. JA is the only race horse in the stable and they are flogging it now for all it's worth.

Coming back to the episode, Rajat got an chance to display the full gamut of emotions. He was spectacular. The episode was well directed and all the issues raised were connected.

Even the scene in Jodha's room was poignant and beautifully filmed.

It was the kind of episode you burn to a disc at the highest definition possible.

Well said! Yes it was a fantabulous episode that you would want to record in HD and watch again and again.

Let's see- I think they will drag their milan but not the story. It is just the SR is the highest TRP day and they will not risk it.

I actually do not mind dragging if it keeps characters entact and is executed well and they have a lot of things they can focus on:
- rebuilding the nok-jhok and passion in the Jodha-Jalal relationship maybe under the pretext of a Shivani's wedding
- MA's last ploy
- Adham-Atgah faceoff
- attacks on Jalal

They don't have to do things like Ruq's pregnancy and hope they do not!

And Zee would be crazy to shut down this show soon!

First and foremost, we should never get too excited over a precap as you never know how it plays out ... I know a lot of people were worried about yesterday's precap (Remember this line when I get to tomorrow's precap 😆)

Many thought it would show Jodha getting all the credit for the theerth yaatra tax ... But I truly felt that while Jodha was definitely an influence, it was Jalal's show and decision all the way and what a milestone decision and episode!

Which gets me to my take 5 filled with Jalal's action, Todarmal, and of course the precap:

I thought (from a serious POV,keeping the goofy parts aside...yesterday's eppy had a gud msg and showed the teerth kar abolition,which was really nice..😃

(1) The first scene of Jalal. Atgah, and Todarmal coming into the awaam: Loved it for its cuteness including Jalal's til and how it reminded me of the movie, especially when he angrily asked, "Do you know who I am?" 😆

A few other things I loved:

- Jalal did remember his encounter with the pilgrimage tax as Badal ... I thought they would forget that 👏

- I also liked the fact that corruption also came out of this issue not only the pilgrimage tax- maybe the CVs are trying to show creativity here ... As well as they asked the price of rice instead of gehu 😆

- Phew, and I sighed a huge sigh of relief that the CVs are following the movie more and not trying to do anything hatke anymore ... 😉

hmm,the ultimate msg that came out of the bazaar trip was gud..the way they had directed that part was ...I simply couldn't get my eyes past Atgah and Jalal's disguises..i was transfixed..Jalal ke til pe dil aa gaya,if u know what I mean 😉😆😆

(2) Jalal in Jodha's room: a few things I liked about the scene

- The focus on Jalal removing his shoes ... Always such a cute gesture 😳

obedient puppy 😳

- Jalal's love for the painting and how he speaks to it so openly ... how he always wanted to talk to Jodha ... Who knew Sharifuddhin's painting will play such an important role in the story 😆

😆

- A good transition to the flashback with the box ... Instead of an abrupt move to a random flashback scene we had not scene before 👏

hmmm..another scene which i missed..or everyone missed😉

- It was the usual nok-jhok type conversation between Jodha and Jalal that I miss so much 😳

Also, I am so excited Jodha will be back soon ... I am sick of Moti's questions for the Shehenshah.😆

yeah..looking fwd to Jo's entry..ab aayega mazaa 😉

(3) Jalal's logic in the Diwan-e-khaas: I love it how Jalal squashed all opposition on the Diwan-e-Khaas particularly his arguments on the equality of Hindus and Muslims as his subjects as he proposed extending the tax to Muslims ... When Hindus and Muslims were equal in serving his Sultanate, why should the rules be different? And, I guess these words were the purpose of the flashback with Jodha. However, as I said, more than the words, I loved his courage to take a stand and drive change.

This guy still does know how to build a convincing case! And the assertive stamp on the bill showed that Jalal meant business! And I loved every bit of it! ⭐️👏

Yes he did a fantastic job.If our leaders in contemporary India were half as logical,secular,sincere and broad minded as him...India would be a super power😊..He was indeed "Akbar the great" and yesterday's court scene highlighted that part...a standing ovation to one of the greatest emperors ever 👏👏👏

(4) This Todarmal means business: It is great to see Todarmal take an active role in the passage of the pilgrimage tax ... I am fine if Jodha influences Jalal's bills, but it is about time one of the ministers does some work ... Poor Atgah Khan is always doing "Hukum ki taamil ho" and Maan Singh has been promoted from a blank expression to smiling.😆

Gud improvement 😉

But jokes apart, in the movie, Todarmal only accepted that the passage of the tax would hurt the treasury ... Here, Todarmal made the case that in the long run it will benefit the sultanate as there will be greater prosperity and happiness and less riots, etc. to manage. 👏

nice one...But did he check the numbers in advance..or did he just make a calculated guess 😉😆😆

(5) Precap: You know what I loved - Jodha saying that I want to rectify my mistake and go back to Agra. I first checked if I heard right and then jumped up and down that she accepted she made a mistake. 👏⭐️😃

wow..finally..i was like...about time Lady..plz go NOW 😆😆

Ek shabd ki keemat tum kya jaano Jodha Begum? I always knew reforms would be the way to Jodha's heart!

Was I the one who said don't get too excited about the precap ... That is only when you have a bad feeling about it ... Not when you have a good feeling about it! What is the worst that can happen- it can be Bharmal's dream? See if you could laugh at that, you are now prepared for the worst tomorrow. 😆

So now if Jodha is ready to come back to Agra, how are they going to drag till IPL? Well, I think they will follow something like the movie ... The lovebirds will be interrupted by Shivani-Tej's wedding preparations, they will be hesitant to atart the conversation again, and the Maham Anga's plot will put Jalal's life at risk. What say? 😉

So, what are your thoughts with the episode?
