Have you seen Honeymoon travels Pvt Ltd? In that minisha lamba's and Abhay Deol's character are so co-ordinated they even ate at the same speed (cos they're superman/superwoman!)

Anyway, our own superman/superwoman Ja and Jo are slowly becoming like this 😆

He sword fights, she sword fights

She says he's kushal sipahi, he says she's equivalent to entire Agra fauj

She leps, he leps

He prays to Kanha, she prays to Allah

He says hunar, she says gyaani

He says Ruqaiyya, She says Ruqaiyya

He says bacha, she says bacha

She forgives Bakshi, he forgives Shivani

She says 'Aap yahaan? Aap yahaan?' he goes 'Jodha begum Jodha begum'

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! 😊

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 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 😆

(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. 😆

(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. 👏

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. 😆

(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! 😆

And I always like seeing a nervous Maham Anga! 😉

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

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!😉

I also liked how Jalal did not refuse at first because he wanted Jodha to do it ... He was pensively looking at Jodha's wounds which came back in a later scene ...

I think more than the color, it had to do with someone's touch 😉

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!

Beautiful description ... There is the tamil saying "Kaamalai kannukku kandathu ellam manjal"- that is what Ruqs is afflicted with

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!

Ruqs is going to lose something beautiful in an aim to get something she cannot have

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!

The way he narrowed his eyes when he heard that the person was found ... For a moment, it was the old ruthless Jalal ... Remind me of two times earlier Jalal made similar expressions: (1) when he had Jodha serve him in the hamaam khana and (2) after the dhakka ... Except now the ruthlessness was towards the person who hurt Jodha

That orange sword dress suits him to a T.

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

Good point- even Jodha said his clothes were too big for him

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 skills - 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.

Loved the shades we saw today!

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!)

Loved Jodha in this scene!

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!

Indeed Jodha was super cute but also sincere at the same time

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

It was the cherry on top of the cake!

Beautiful episode!

Indeed- it will look beautiful through your beautiful eyes and words!
