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.
Divya, you have essentially described it. Ultimately it's all about entertainment, entertainment and entertainment. 😛
Exactly! We need to find something to enjoy right?
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. 😳 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. 😉
And in the later scene, Jalal's mock lament about her being busy with child raising and he'll not be able to get her time again was cute too, wasn't it? They are now so easy with each other. Jodha's small hesitance in getting closer to him and later the way she puts her head on his shoulder !! The CV's do manage to get the brain waves some times ..
Yes, they had their cute moments for sure
(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
Hope she does something about it. Give some much needed privacy to the lovebirds for a much needed koochi koo.. 😉
Hope SB will be our savior
- Maham Anga and us getting to know that Ruqaiyya is faking her pregnancy
This lady is such a slow learner. Every time she gets in cahoots with Maham and falls flat on her face. How can anybody sink that low. Not for a moment has she thought about Jalal ?? She is making use of his tenderest nerve. You know I read in lot of posts and threads that people felt bad for her after she encountered sleeping Jalal-Jodha. First of all, if she barges in on people she gotta be ready to face the consequences. And in that whole situation, she was trying to show how she was important for Jalal. The whole scene smacked of false pride and saving face. Ergo, no sympathy for her from me. And with this false peggers stunt she has journeyed to the center of the earth. No return back from such depths.
Ruqs had to support MA- she had no choice. I still feel bad seeing Ruqs insecurities ... She wants Jalal at any cost, even if that cost is Jalal
- The person in trouble is Chand Begum (though God knows how she could send a paigham)
Could it be Shenu Baby under the "Sarva Vyapak" shawl a.k.a invisibility cloak?? Those sipahis of Jalal do not have a 20-20 vision apparently. They couldn't see somebody passing so near from the palaki ???😲
Shehnaaz is the emerging hypothesis for sure! Yes, the state of Agra security was my joke of the century below.
- Jodha got to know that Jalal cannot read (will she remember her letter, God knows!)
Bring out the Dhakka letter CV's. Please clear those old debts.. Let Jalal hate MA even more... *Smiles evilly"
I hoped that was the reason for this
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. 👏
Did you catch the names of the Raja and subsequent Baghi?? I just couldn't. I was that busy drooling over Rajat. 😳
I missed the name ... I was blown over by his angry form
Actually, I love it when they start his Shehenshah BG music. Sure shot comeback of Jalal, the Emperor.
I know!
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 ...
Here I loved how he was ready to get all cosy with her and how she braught the letter out.. 😆
It was super cute ...He thought she was going to sing "Raat Akeli Hai" and she wanted to play CID
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. 😉
Now I'm sure that Tabassum has grudge against Ruqs. What other reason is there that she makes all the portraits so perfectly and yet Ruq's and Jalal's were as good as cartoons'???
Don't forget Sujamal's 😆
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.
Jaal me Jalal.. 😆
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. 😆
Just for the pre-cap scene I wish Monday was here already..
It will be here soon enough
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?
