Take 5: Top 5 countdown for June 6th

Originally posted by: divyavm

First, thanks to everyone for liking my special post yesterday 🤗

Today was a superbly fun episode ... And I am not sure if you need a take 5 to cheer you up ... But it was fun to write anyways!

It was a good episode and I didn't have to eat anything salty today 😉

So, without much ado here is my take 5:

(1) Kaanta laaga: Loved the taking out the thorn scene ... As always, Jodha did insist that Jalal cannot touch her feet but I loved the "apnapan" and authority with which he ordered her to let him take it out ... That is progress my friends! 😉

Jalal looks/sounds nicer when he orders😳

(2) Jalal in action: I always love Jalal in action and when his "khaas begum" was in danger how would he not be on top of his act but here were my favorite pieces of the scene:

- Liked his presence of mind to take the kanjar out ... The same kanjar that saved that from Mohan the tiger... Particularly, explaining to Jodha how he waited to take it out when the enemies were not looking at them 😉

- His angry look and leap on his enemies with the kanjar 😆

- The smile of victory as he looked at Jodha stuck in the neck and the way he threw the sword to free her ... And then running to catch her! He must have watched Rajnikanth movies recently. 😊

- Uff the way he said "Itni bhi jaldi hai" pulling Jodha towards him ... The romantic way he said , who would have thought he was referring to fighting with the enemy 😳

- The way he went forward to fight his enemy ... For hurting his "khaas begum" ... But he doesn't leave an enemy just like that anyways

Disappointed that they were out of net within few minutes and returned to Agra the same day, was good to see Jalal back in action and Jodha being fearless without thinking about nirdosh manav, aur hum unki hatya nahin karsakte, instead she fought like a queen. Good to see them together like that.

But his "asking chor about chori" habit continues as he asks the enemy soldiers who sent them and why they were there ... Jalal, why would they answer? 😆

It is a normal routine you see 😆

(3) Jodha joining the action: I would have cheered just to see Jalal with the sword but Jodha joined him too was whistle worthy ... Here is what I loved:

-I loved how Jalal challenged Jodha to show her real fight when he gave her the sword ... Uff ... The bhaagin and teda Shehnahah memories came back to me.

- Loved how Jodha arrived in time to save Jalal from being attacked in the back and teda Jalal still took a moment to say "aap par itna to yakeen ta" 😉

- Loved how Jodha wielded the sword in her ghagra choli ... Well done! I really liked seeing this violent streak in Jodha! She nailed it! She was willing to go to any extent to save their lives. 👏

Like I said above liked the way she was with Jalal in action, would like to see her like that, than being a nurse, hakim or a maid

It was great to see Jodha and Jalal in action together against the enemy! I hope this is a sanket that they will fight all enemies together whether it is Shehnaaz or Maham Anga.

(4) Lep wala love is now two-sided: Once I saw Jalal injured I knew that we would have a chance to see a lep scene ... And Jodha did not disappoint in her lep wala scene. As always her taking care of him was sweet, but I really liked the moment when Jalal reciprocated her lep wala love and put the lep on her. 😳

How did she make the lep and at such speed? Even forest knows that Jodha is here, so all plants turn out to be medicine 😆, but still this time it wasn't annoying

(5) Jalal still gives it back to Maham Anga: I like how there is at least one enemy that Jalal still does not trust and that is Maham Anga and her intentions (given we know how terrible they are) ... I really liked how he responded saying that there are others duaa that saved him from those with bad intentions.

He puts people in place with sheer attitude and I simply love him for that. I prefer this Jalal to hunar praising parrot any day

It was also apt that it was her own son Adham Khan that caused this and Maham Anga was more worried about protecting him. That being said,I have to hand it to Adham Khan that he is better at wiping off his tracks than his mother ... For everything else, his Mom is sharper.

It was good to see that, it was Adham who plotted and not Shehnaz and as per spoiler Jodha will know the truth about her and even Adham's end is near

P.S. Based on the precap, Ruqs I would drop the fake pregnancy idea and practice taking the sword out of its case ... You wanted to separate Jodha and Jalal, and now Jalal does not want Jodha to ever leave his side because of her sword-foghting skills ... What a backfire! 😆

Ruq's trying to make them apart and more Jalal gets closer to Jodha. Ruq is caught in her own web. I want this drama to end once

So, what are your thoughts on the take and the episode?

It was overall a good episode and hope story moves in the same pace and gives closure to tracks. Jalal in action is always a treat to watch

Btw divya, Abul Fazl does mention of Adham laying an ambush to slay Akbar - but like many other events the timeline is mixed up - but this ambush from AK is supposedly based on a real occurrence!!!!!

Well this would actually be the second attack by Adham right? After the dacoits?

As for the epi, well not half bad, thanks to Rajat's Jalal - but would definitely prefer better dialogues - the current ones singing hosannas to Jodha have started sounding trite!!!!!

Oh but he definitely was teda at moments with his phrase 😉 "Aap par hume intna to yakeen tha" ... thoda sa namak ishq ka is returning
