Take 5: Top 5 countdown for June 16th

Today's episode marked the sadness that loomed over Jodha and Jalal on Friday's episode as new dreams both literally and figuratively came into their lives ... Jodha (on Friday) had described how like water we need to flow on in life and the episode flowed in a very similar fashion ...

True.. it was a positive episode all around.. 😳

(1) It all started with ... Jalal's dream ... It was such a marked transition from his worried tossing and turning that it was misfortune to push an empty paalna ... And how beautifully Jodha glowed as she lifted their baby and said it was not empty.

I know... I'd think that was one of the most beautifully shot scenes of the episode

It was indeed symbolic of how this dream marked his crossing from pain to happiness.

(2) And this dream shone brightly in the next scene when Jalal shared his dream with Jodha first thing ... A few things I like in this scene:

- Jodha's happiness on hearing Jalal being announced ... Though Jalal must have announced himself to avoid the "aap yahan" though he still got the "is waqt" 😆

They still did have their tell-tale dialogue... 'Tab ki baat hi kuch aur thee'

- Jalal's happiness in sharing his dream ... He seemed like a little kid

- Love how he said that that begum was Jodha Begum and calling her MUZ for the first time

- The soul talk reflecting on Jodha's happiness on finally seeing Jalal happy again and being called MUZ the first time 😳

I also loved how he kneeled down in front of her as he spoke to her.. he's so affectionate with her... no pride of being an Emperor or whatever..

It's official guys- both Jodha and Jalal have forgotten how Salim Chisti had said Jodha will be MUZ! Jodha thought of Ruqs when she heard of the dream! 😆

They have to show Jodha being as selfless as possible.. its how the TV world works 😆

And then he said, he wanted her to be in DEK to make an announcement- this is the third time in the past few weeks! And I prayed this time it would be something meaningful. 😉

I know right? It was a beautiful announcement.. for a second, I wondered if he's going to name Jo as MUZ prematurely 😆

(3) And I really loved this DEK scene ... While it started with his more personal dream ... It ended with his vision of a sultanate of religious tolerance where Hindus and Muslims moved hand in hand. The coin was beautiful for it showing the two sides of God and this scene truly showed the greatness and religious tolerance of Jalal. After all, he was the heart and soul behind din-e-ilahi.

Yeah!

Question: What was the purpose of the coin that Jalal saw in Jodha's room? He had already designed this coin right ... Given he presented it in the DEK right after his conversation with Jodha. I am guessing he saw one half of the coin in Jodha's room? But, the I wasn't sure what beautiful idea he was referring to in the precap?

Unity of his people - he sort of remembered an incident... the battles that managed to MAKE the Mughal Sultanat...so, in his happiness he announced he commemoration of those coins

(4) How Jodha and Jalal manage to converse even in a crowd .. I love this jodi and the way they talk with their eyes during the DEK session ... Starting when Jalal refers to the dream ... And how Jodha expresses her appreciation in seeing the coin ... 😳

Yeah 😳

While Ruqs sulked / gloated away in her room ... I found it very symbolic that she was not in the DEK for such an occasion ...

I also agree with Jodha's words that it was not that what Ruq's did was not a mistake ... But Jodha and Jalal making another mistake would not fix it. Till the next scene with Ruq's she probably didn't realize that nothing could fix Ruq's! 😆

Swear.. she seems like a lost cause 😆

(5) The cupid Rahim is back ... I always love to hear Jodha tell stories to Rahim ... Of course on her favorite topic Kanha ... Loved how Rahim pointed out that Jalal was there and then began to question Jodha on when a chote kanha will come ... Jalal of course loved to corner Jodha and asked her to answer Rahim's question.., I wonder how Jodha will get out of this one! 😉

I wish they followed up Rahim's tell-tale question with a few akdhalicious scenes.. but alas.. 😆

Oh yes ... Maham Anga, Ruqs, and Shehnaaz ... Were they in the episode? I seem to have forgotten them. 😆

Actually, for the first time, I am actually excited about the Shehnaaz track hearing of this duel between Jodha and Shehnaaz. So, the entire sultanate will hinge on Jodha's sword fighting skills! However, one thing is for sure, Jalal would not have battled a woman, let alone a sister. 👏

I know... I'm looking forward to it too.. 😛

But, God save the Sultanate if she sits on that throne! She can't even manage her mother, and she is out to rule the kingdom! 😆

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

As above...

Your take? Superb as usual

Did you notice how there was the sun shining on his face when the dream was over. Symbolism much??
Btw, I think the same shot of restless Jalal was used for the promo. 😆

@Bold - Yeah. Just can't escape it 😆

- Jalal's happiness in sharing his dream ... He seemed like a little kid
How he went to his knees (literally) 😳

- Love how he said that that begum was Jodha Begum and calling her MUZ for the first time

- The soul talk reflecting on Jodha's happiness on finally seeing Jalal happy again and being called MUZ the first time 😳

Selective amnesia is what ails Agra..

I am curious Divya. What did you expect would happen in DEK?

While Ruqs sulked / gloated away in her room ... I found it very symbolic that she was not in the DEK for such an occasion ...

She didn't sulk neither she gloat. She smoked Hukka 😆 .. Symbolic na.. It means Jalal and Jodha are thinking and talking (and hopefully doing something ) about babies, Ruqs is "har fikra me dhooen me udati chali gayi" 😉

I also agree with Jodha's words that it was not that what Ruq's did was not a mistake ... But Jodha and Jalal making another mistake would not fix it. Till the next scene with Ruq's she probably didn't realize that nothing could fix Ruq's! 😆

Actually I was kinda happy for Ruq's behavior. She is staying true to her character. No sudden change of heart for her. Consistency matters 😃

(5) The cupid Rahim is back ... I always love to hear Jodha tell stories to Rahim ... Of course on her favorite topic Kanha ... Loved how Rahim pointed out that Jalal was there and then began to question Jodha on when a chote kanha will come ...

Jalal ke expressions dekhe??

Oh yes ... Maham Anga, Ruqs, and Shehnaaz ... Were they in the episode? I seem to have forgotten them. 😆

Hope CV's forget about them too once in a while Divya. 😆

Actually, for the first time, I am actually excited about the Shehnaaz track hearing of this duel between Jodha and Shehnaaz. So, the entire sultanate will hinge on Jodha's sword fighting skills! However, one thing is for sure, Jalal would not have battled a woman, let alone a sister. 👏

Episode good. Take gooder.. (somehow gooder sounds much better than better 😛)

Divi,

I quite liked the episode. It brimmed with positivity, and was well, sweet.

Sweet indeed ... But not sugary sweet

The dream sequence was really sweet, and Jodha's lime green dress was really pretty. And the baby was sooo adorable!

Yes, the dream was really sweet

BTW Jodha has a lot of new clothes these days!

It was really sweet to see Jalaal all bubbling with excitement when talking about his dream. I must say their relationship has progressed so much, a few months back he was dreaming of Jodha, now the baccha!

Very true ... What do you think he will dream of next!

I think the coin was to signify his happiness, in that the coin which he had gifted Jodha would be made official to signify Jodha would be the source of his happiness from now on. Don't know, but, that's what I understood.

Thanks! Makes sense!

Where was TM in DEK? I thought at least his handsome face would be shown at such an important announcement.

TM ko kisi ki nazar lag gayi! Shaayad meri! 😆

Coming to Shehnaaz Jodha duel, I am kind of sceptic about Shehnaaz's (aka Nigar's) sword weilding skill given that when she stabbed Jalaal in her dream it looked like she was tickling his tummy.

It is more the concept I am excited about! In the end , I bet it will be as comical as the kabbadi match in the movie Pardes that would decide who would marry Mahima's character!

A really cute episode!

Indeed!

Nice episode... loved joja scene. ...

Me too!

But yeh Shehnaz! !!... when this track will over???... getting my nerve ...

But I like how they have planned her end with a duel with Jodha

one thing... as per spoilers. ... MA will bhandafod of Ruq... but today she promised that she will never tell anybody! !!!... lets see.

I actually am suspicious because Maham Anga explicitly said that ... She always says one thing and does another 😉

Beautiful take... thanks a lot...

Thanks!
