He he, I felt like the JA Ja Jo had been toned down by 75% 😆 But, these two also had a sweet love story, and this Jalaal is also tedha and headstrong at the same time. 😆

Ya but I don't think that's the effect he had created. 🤣

This was from a time when the Khan brothers were busy mining the lives of heroic historical figures for their serials. Tips Sultan had just been completed and Akbar Khan could not resist the temptation of casting himself as Jalaluddin Akbar in this new serial.

Obviously, he was a terrible choice and to match this declining Akbar, the Jodha cast had to be less than spectacular too, no way comparable to Aish or Pari.

That is why this serial sank like a stone in the ratings.

Sorry, I made a mistake here. This serial preceded Tipu Sultan by 2 years.

I watched the whole serial and it is quite interesting that in this old serial, Akbar in his teen years told Ruqu that it was a childhood mistake marrying Ruqu (Episode 25 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_EKKHNEQ7Q4). Also, Salima Begum was called BEK, not Ruqu, and that Salima had more authoritative role than Ruqu.

TFS!

🤣

Thanks for reviving memories of DD serials. They were so antiquated, OMG!!!!

The dialogs are good though the actors and their dialog delivery leaves a lot to be desired.

(Loved the words that a "kaum" is all the people living in a country, not just those belonging to a particular religion and Akbar's assertion that the ullemas should not assume that he didn't know anything about religion just because he was illiterate. He reiterated how he had had books read to him and could reach his own conclusions and didn't need the ullemas to form his opinions for him.)

I like the sets. Though they look like cardboard sets, still they are closer to what we have seen in Mughal-era paintings. This DEK is better than the DEK shown in JA.

It was interesting to read so many comments that indicate how much youngsters are amazed to see the story of Jodha Akbar before the movie. But even this serial came in 1998, which is also quite modern. Even before this date, there have been references to Jodha Bai. For instance, the movie Mughal-e-Azam (1960), where Durga Khote played Jodha Bai. This movie was inspired by a play read by K. Asif in 1944.

Coming back to this serial, would love to watch the entire show (missed its original telecast). 😊 The best part of DD serials was that the number of episodes was fixed. So the story couldn't drag. It had to be wound up in the limited number of episodes. Wish Zee would limit JA's episodes so that it becomes more fast-paced.😊

PS: Thanks Abhay for the link.😊

The actress playing Ruq's role is familiar. She played Suhasi's role(Mihir's sis) in Kyunki saas bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi...I didn't know she was so old...she used to look quite young in Kyunki & that show came after 12 yrs of Akbar the great.
