Take 5 for today
(1) Jalal- Atgah's bonding and finally Jalal talks politics ... There was a lot of symbolism to the sword fight yesterday ... It was just not a filler lollipop.
Agreed. That little moment in the episode was the highlight for me. Within that few minutes both Atgah and Jalal expressed themselves well. Atgah, his loyalty to the sultanate. And Jalal, his loyalty to the people who are dear to him. The hug was of warmth and genuine love and care. Such a relief from the very stale scenes of the surang, Shehnaz and off late the love birds.
(2) Salima the Genius: Loved how she packed both Jodha and Jalal out of the palace
Every now and then Salima regains her brain. I am glad for that. I also loved her interaction with Jalal. Eventhough there is nothing romantic between them, its good to see how they are so at ease with each other and can exert right over each other. Plus its so lovely to see Jalal having someone who doesn't have an ulterior motive in being nice to him. Go Salima Begum!!
(3) Jalal closing Jodha's mouth to end the debate on both going to the mandir ... Efficiently well done!
Wish he had done that many moons ago...but better if he shut her with his lips...Now that would have zapped my dull brain cells (due to too much sugary Ja-Jo moments off late) back to life. After all they were in their room. Where the hell is creativity, for heavens sake??
(4) Jalal the romantic ... Going back to his favorite hobby ... Holding Jodha's hands ... And even went to holding her shoulder in the temple ...
Okay, he was totally cheeky in the temple. I know it was so cute.But its hard for me to understand this. His greatest lack was a child. He so desperately wanted it. Now Rukaiya is pregnant (as fake as Dolly Parton's assets'), but he seem to be less involved' in it emotionally than him playing lover Hunar ki Mallika. He shows care, no doubt. But it is severely lacking the jubilation, overjoy, ecstasy. To be honest I feel its so flat.
(5) The exchange of wishes ... While Jodha's was sincere and focuses on the child and reflects her character to the T ... Loved how Jalal came forward with a husky voice and referred to his tang karna and their mohabhat and saath in his wish ... No wonder he always wanted to share his wishes with Jodha!
Jalal and his voice modulation, body language, cheeky grin etc IS the saving grace of this serial. I totally get engrossed in it before I can decide whether or not the storyline was to my liking. He completely makes me go ga-ga with his reactions.
Precap, once again proves the inefficiency of Mughal soldiers! CVs are extremely consistent on this front!
Honestly, why waste money on the soldiers? They all die lie mosquitoes being sprayed with aerosol repellent!! Have you ever seen a single episode where they had the upper hand over the villains?? Even villain as comical looking as Abu Mali can defeat them. Atgah seriously need to reconsider his recruitment methods
