Take 5: Top 5 countdown for June 9th - Page 2

Without much ado, here is my take 5 today ...

(1) Ruqs' anger is her weakness: Every episode we have someone raising suspicion over Ruq's pregnancy and it is due to her anger ... Today, other begums were wondering how she was walking so quickly while she was pregnant. I believe this foreshadows that it is Ruq's own anger which will cause the downfall of her plotting. Thank God, the bad guys have weaknesses! 😊

Yeah.. point well noted! 😛

While it was OTT, I found Ruq's anger to be justified - even in my family, if someone hides something big from me I do get upset and this is BEK. 😉

My only advice to Jodha is not to get involved in trying to pacify her ... That is Jalal's job and she unnecessarily gets it from Ruqs.

I swear! Both wives waise like to use Jalal as a punching bag and lets himself be used like that... 😆 all their tantrums...

I also feel Jalal responded to Ruq's taunts to Jodha in the best way possible - by praising Jodha. And I felt it was nice of Jodha to dismiss his praise as exaggeration.

What could be a bigger slap to Ruqs! 👏

(2) Maham's weakness is her son: There was a lot of foreshadowing in this scene that Maham's downfall and defeat will be driven by her son's folly among other things. Again, Thank God this superwoman has a weakness.

Again Maham played Shaguni Bai where she said that she cannot bear to see him dead before her eyes ... When that is exactly what will happen.

BTW did anyone else notice that Adham has caught the "Aap yahan? Is waqt?" bhimaari 😆

I forgot to write one point in my note... it was that MA called him 'masoom' moorkh would have been the correct word instead!😆

Still I do think they're showing MA's downfall well.. I know we don't notice the smaller details.. but, have you realized that ever since MA's pardah farsh, her room (which used to be well-lit) is always a dark dark blue like Ruqs!

God, I will miss Ashwini though

(3) A glimpse of the angry Jalal: Loved to see Jalal splashing water on himself ... And how his eyes narrowed when he heard that Atgah knew who was behind the attack and how he brushed his wet hair back .. It was awesome! 😳😉

Next time CVs, show us the sword practice that came before too! You can shorten Ruq's dialogue by two minutes, I promise I will not mind. 😆

😆 You know we just saw him sword fighting last epi na.. yeah... but instead of hearing Ruqs everyday, sword fighting everyday would be a better treat!

(4) The divine moment: As always, I feel the divine connect is the strongest one between Jodha and Jalal. Jalal having the magnetic pull towards Kanha we had seen before (and poor Atgah has witnessed before as well) ... But it was very nice to have Jodha ask Jalal to teach her. It was a very cute scene with Jodha observing his every move but the devotion of both was clearly visible. 👏

😳

And a nice detail, when Jalal notices Jodha's wound and tells her to come to the DEK where he will take account for each drop of blood she has shed. 👏

Yeah!

I hope he does something more useful in the DEK this time ... Last time we had big hopes and all he did was free Zakira. 😆

🤣 ROFL... tell me about it!

(5) And regarding the precap, I still have some hope that Jalal has the right scent and was observant enough to notice Adham's changing body language. Umeed par duniya kayaam hai! 😆

My Jalal might say something sensible - seeing how this is to do with his Jo.. anything to do with his Jo and his human instincts advance into animal instincts 😆

And I always like seeing a nervous Maham Anga! 😉

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

Lovely - both!

Jallu and water splashing is one combination that I can watch any number of times, but, loved Jalaal's reactions, it showed how angry Jalaal was that he was attacked while he was with his beghum. Latent possessiveness.

Was it only me, or did Atgah looked mildly annoyed at Jallu's Manmohana fancy?

🤣

That said, I really loved, the namaz scene, or rather Jodha's enthusiastic expression in it. She's really close to Ammi jaan and Salima beghum or even Rahim, but she preferred to learn it from Jalaal. That was sweet. Although, where did Jallu fish out that white cloth for turban from?

Also, I think like Jalal calls her hunar hunar hunar

her praise is gyaani gyaani.. isn't it the third time she's saying that?😆

Dialogue of the day, "Aap yahan?" by Jo. Again. #Facepalm.

Ayoo I missed this 🤣 or I've become immune.. one of the two!

LEP AGAIN!

Why I liked this scene was because they let the doctors handle the 'medicine' (sensible) and it was not another round of Jodha playing sexy nurse and Jalal playing willing patient.

If anything, we had a slightly unwilling patient subject himself to an old Hakim Sahiba's yellow medicines.

Maybe Jalal prefers Jodha's Dhaniya-Pudina ki chutney!😉

JALAL - RUQAIYYA - JODHA

What essentially happened in this scene was

'When you are good you can only see the good around you'

Jodha and Jalal only saw a jealous/possessive/worried tantrum of a young queen. They failed to discern the acidic dialogues and caustic words she was taunting Jodha with

Similarly,

'When you are bad, you can only see the bad around you'

Ruqaiyya failed to see the genuine intentions that went behind Jodha's prayers for her. I can understand her stomping and fuming about the fact that the truth had been kept from her. However, the fact that she tore off the dhaagaa that her husband/Jodha had brought for her dipped her character even further!

RUQAIYYA-JALAL

This scene was Jalal all the way!

The manner in which he is sorry at first.

Sweet next

and then mischievous at the end.

God Ruqaiyya, you are going to be losing out on all this (at least from a friend, if not a husband) by the atrocity you are committing!

SPLASH SPLASH

Its 26c in London (and its quite hot for London temperatures) Watching that 2 minute scene only made the 3:30 noon feel hotter!

I don't know whether Rajat rehearsed how he was supposed to splash that water and/or how he was supposed to look, but God - he nailed it!

That orange sword dress suits him to a T.

I hate those oversized up-to-the-ankle coats he wears otherwise!

I also loved the glimpses of that protective husband 'I want to avenge every drop of blood that Jodha Begum shed in my defence!'

In front of Jodha, it was all praise and hunar and hassi-mazaak about her sword fighting sills - however, its obvious that behind her back he is fretting for her.

Many shades this Emperor has! Wish the makers regularly utilized all shades of him.

JALAL-JODHA

This scene was Jodha all the way. I was wondering how after that sizzling spalsh-a-thon by Jalal, would Jodha match up to the hotness factor on screen. Well, she couldn't. So, she came up with the cuteness factor instead.

The manner in which she stumbled for the right words to say 'Namaz' and 'Dua'. The manner in which her face depicted such eagerness to learn how to pray according to the Islamic customs.

I loved her lively expressions as she tied the dupatta on - and watch how awed Jalal is when she is doing that!

(We need more scenes like this, please...pronto!)

Following that, the beautiful Allah-ho song in the backdrop with Jodha learning the art of praying from her husband. Watch how she is trying to concentrate on the prayer, ensure her dupatta doesn't fall off, make sure she's doing it right and not be bowled over by her husband's looks at the same time.😉

What a treat this was!

I loved the end to it all, Jalal's grave expressions when he notices the scratch on her hand!

Beautiful episode!

Wonder what Ruqs ever hopes to achieve through this fp drama. And how long? A cheap plan with no meaning or end-purpose. And a very mean track in all.

(2) Maham's weakness is her son: There was a lot of foreshadowing in this scene that Maham's downfall and defeat will be driven by her son's folly among other things. Again, Thank God this superwoman has a weakness.

Again Maham played Shaguni Bai where she said that she cannot bear to see him dead before her eyes ... When that is exactly what will happen.

BTW did anyone else notice that Adham has caught the "Aap yahan? Is waqt?" bhimaari 😆

Will miss Ashwini. The baandhis of Agra palace may miss AK too.🤣

(3) A glimpse of the angry Jalal: Loved to see Jalal splashing water on himself ... And how his eyes narrowed when he heard that Atgah knew who was behind the attack and how he brushed his wet hair back .. It was awesome! 😳😉

Next time CVs, show us the sword practice that came before too! You can shorten Ruq's dialogue by two minutes, I promise I will not mind. 😆

Who will? The CVs can cut short anything and show Jalal in action.

(4) The divine moment: As always, I feel the divine connect is the strongest one between Jodha and Jalal. Jalal having the magnetic pull towards Kanha we had seen before (and poor Atgah has witnessed before as well) ... But it was very nice to have Jodha ask Jalal to teach her.

I hope he does something more useful in the DEK this time ... Last time we had big hopes and all he did was free Zakira. 😆

The prayer was well shot and it was a picture perfect that lingered on for a long time.

(5) And regarding the precap, I still have some hope that Jalal has the right scent and was observant enough to notice Adham's changing body language. Umeed par duniya kayaam hai! 😆

Jalal smart on his own without the 'rehamokaram' of his beloved...Isn't it too much to expect?😆

And I always like seeing a nervous Maham Anga! 😉

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

You know how people say that in the initial days of marriage, a couple is besotted with each other and thinks the other is the most perfect? Same thing...😆
