Guys, me back with my Maha Epsiode Take 5 ... Don't get me wrong guys, I am, not saying the episode is perfect or even this track ...I also want to see more "real" romance, less sugary sweet dialogues, I want to see Jalal do more politics, I also do not like to see Ruqs descend to these lows ... But , I also do want to be able to be happier that I watch this show or else I am not sure why I watch this show.

What I try to do through my take 5 if give you a few reasons to smile about the episode and here goes my take 5 for today along the following themes:

(1) "Tere Mere Milan Ki Yeh Raina" (Movie: Abhimaan): In the early part of the episode, there was a common theme in all the Akdha scenes, the love that both of them have for children and some sweet moments where they shared their dreams and happiness of being parents. And the natural hugs and smiles that comes with it. 😳

I also loved the emergence of the teda Jalal who calls out "Makoda" to get her attention and have her come closer to him. 😉

(2) Sach ka Samna: I liked the truth unfolding in multiple dimensions which suggests that the story will now move forward

- Salima getting a doubt on Ruqaiyya's intentions

- Maham Anga and us getting to know that Ruqaiyya is faking her pregnancy

- The person in trouble is Chand Begum (though God knows how she could send a paigham)

- Jodha got to know that Jalal cannot read (will she remember her letter, God knows!)

It looks like the reason that Zakira was saved was so she could read letters in Urdu. 😆

(3) A glimpse of Jalal the Shehenshah: Even for a moment, it was great to see Jalal the Shehenshah getting angry about the Raja who betrayed them. It was great to see him talk about an enemy and Rajat/Jalal always nails the anger. 👏

Finally, there is one enemy he was not ready to forgive.

And , how could I not recognize Maan Singh getting a dialogue!

(4) We see Jalal often praise Jodha ... As he did today on how nice she is and she will be a wonderful mother. What was even nicer was to see Jodha openly praising Jalal twice ... And for things she cannot take "credit for" (which I know is a common complaint against Jodha)

- Jodha praised that Jalal will be a great father - this was a inherent trait she had finally recognized him ... One that she had not "taught" him.

- Jodha praised how he was so knowledgeable even though he was not literate ... And she seemed to genuinely respect his memory to learn things.

(5) A collective investigation: I am so glad that Jodha went directly to Jalal to tell him about the letter ... I was afraid that she would hide it given he was worried for Ruqs. Also, love how Jalal and Jodha finally consulted others to help them in their investigations including Gulbadan, Hamida Bano, Atgah Khan, and of course, my new favorite Todarmal. Tabussam finally has a useful painting to make as well. 😉

According to the new promo, it looks like Jodha and Jalal will be trapped in a net / in trouble together ... Which is a welcome change then one alone.

On a side note ... The song, "Raat Akeli Hai Bhuj Gaye Giye, Aakhen Mere Paas Khaanon mere jo bhi chaaye kahiye" (Movie: Jewel Thief) came to my mind. In the dark night, Jalal is all ready for romance, but Jodha wants to talk about is investigations. It was cute how Jalal was getting all romantic and Jodha held the letter in his way ... Similarly in the precap, Jalal was lying on Jodha's lap all cozy and she was busy thinking of how he would find Chand Begum. 😆

Joke of the century: After security is tightened in Agra, especially around the women, a random person manages to leave a letter in Jodha's palkhi and not a soldier has observed. Sheer brilliance! No wonder, Jodha needs to become detective.😆

So, what were your thoughts on the maha-episode?

luv the episode,, it hs evry thing..

Methinks that it is Shenaaz who kept that letter in palki - and it is her plan to kidnap and kill Jalal and Jodha that we see in promo.

Now the million dollar Q is - is that catch of the Emperor in the net, Shenaaz's imagination as she outlines her plan or will it really happen 😉

"EK maiyya Natakiya rupantar ki bhi koi seema hoti hai ya nahin" 😆!!!!!!

adi, i too think it is shenu..and natkiye rupantar ki zikar na hi to acha😆

divi my dear love your positivity and ur song selection..seems like we both are die hard fans of old classical romantic love songs..sometimes i wonder instead of making the romance cute and diabetic why can't they just make it filmy just like the movies of 60s and who can forget that feather scene of mughal-e-azam and in that scene the leads were not in talking terms and hats off to their professionalism! i would love to see romance without jalal praising jo's hunars and let the eyes do the talking!..well, mungheri lal ke sapne jo reh hi jayenge sapne ke sapne😆

i watched the maha epi after much courage and liked it in bits and pieces..liked the glimpse of old jalal..akhda romance was a bit diabetic lacking any passion..the emotional hug was touching and i loved the way jo consoled jalal..very sweet..ruk was annoying and after this preg crap i have no sympathies left for the reel ruk..feeling sorry for the real ruk..only jo's aatma will be happy since she is taking all credits of being great and not akbar the great😆..thank god TM and MS ke bhi muh khule..bring it on cvz we want politics..war..9 gems and a pinch of romance wala lollipop with tinge of harem politics!

btw make another thread for demanding birbal's entry..pl do it on my request!

Nice take Divya and after the watching the episode, one thing I must admit, will never judge by the update😉😆.

Thanks Guys for the posts! I am out of the house right now ... Will respond as soon as I can.

Lovely take Divya! I have yet to see the episode so cant comment much but loved reding ur take!!

@Mandyg I m sure even real Jo's atma isn't happy. As she was a pativrata Rajput patni. She is not going to like that all her husband's credit r given to her.
