Do we even need a take 5 today? Today, I found was a day you could not analyze ... You could only experience how love won over everything ...
- Over Ruqaiyya's scheming ...
- Over Maham Anga's conspiracies ...
- Over jealousy, ego, and insecurities ...
- Over everything ... Over all the negativity
It was like a lotus that bloomed amidst the mud ... And did not need the mud to clear to bloom.
Today was not day to analyze the dialogues, the visuals, the camera angles, it was a beautiful journey of emotions to experience and I will focus on that on my take 5 as I know many of us were down in the dumps at the end of the Friday.
The emotional journey starts where it ended on Friday ... Jalal flying in his happiness of being a father (as he shares with Jodha) and Jodha in a kashmakash on why she is feeling so jealous and upset ... And here is how I saw it crescendo into the victory of love:
(1) It begins with mixed feelings: Jalal who is flying in happiness comes into Jodha's room and immediately perceives Jodha's sadness and pushes her to share it with him ...
Jodha finally asserts her feelings and frustrations to Jalal! She knows she should be happy but cannot be.
They both feel what each other is going through and it was beautiful. The fact that they realized they needed to talk about it right then and there was even more beautiful. 😳
(2) Jalal knew Jodha needed only one assurance ... The assurance of his love. He emphatically confesses his love for her, beautifully describing how his heart beats only for her and will always do so ... It will be their love story that will be remembered for ages onwards ...😳
While touched, Jodha is continued to be battling her hurt and having to share him ... Jalal, continues to push on the reason for her hurt ...
(3) And Jodha finally confesses what was always in her heart, that it was her love for him.
Not one to delay ... Jalal asks ... If there is love, then why is their distance? 😉
(4) Loved the push and pull between them ... As Jodha fights with her final kashmakash ... As Jalal goes to leave, it is Jodha who runs up to keep him from leaving ... Symbolizing the end of her insecurities and that she had fully accepted. Loved it! 😳
Though Jalal does confess he wouldn't have left anyways! I hope he will always be Teda Jalal! 😉
(5) In the end love won ... And they become one in the complete sense ... Again, I am not going to analyze the scene. Just watch it ... But loved how the soul talk and even our Shaguni Bai did the honors to describe how love had won over all that night and Jodha and Jalal brought it beautifully to screen.
One note on the precap: I think the sole purpose of it was to show Ruqaiyya her plan failed ... How else was she going to find out? I am sure neither Jodha or Jalal were going to tell her. 😉
I do not think it does any justice to Jodha to compare the hurt Jodha felt on seeing Jalal with Ruqaiyya to the shock Ruqaiyya will feel tomorrow ... As they are just different.
Ruqs could never directly confronted them when they are together so imagine they will not do that again.
This might be my worst take 5 yet ...I just did not want to go into the details and spoil the essence and magic of it ... Yet, I could not skip a Take 5 tonight.
So, what are your thoughts on the episode today?
