oh mandy..one year down the line we all are still stuck at the same place...i believed when they told me it was an epic love story and EK is known as the ruler of romance on tv..i fell for the ruse and one year gone am still waiting for romance,passion and love story ...and i have this huge feeling that my wait is never going to end😆

most of us have been screaming to show real politics ,war ,utilize RT's skill in out door shoot...par kahan ...ghoom phir kar de go from one beghum to another,from one pregnancy to another and so on...this show has become so muddled and boring that even boring sounds adventurous

people who want romance are unhappy,people who want drama are unhappy,people who want action are also unhappy...so yeah it is boring even to type my whining anymore😆

in short i am fed up and as for jodha..the real one cannot be like this ,i refuse to believe it...and i rather see a smart ,practical woman whom the Emperor chooses for administrative skills and one who can take a decision from her head once in a while...she is not you and me ,she is a queen and you cannot afford to be emotional and in command of power and position...

and this holds for both jalal and jodha..coz as they say with great power comes great responsibility ..

Yup, all this while they have been concentrating on petty harem issues when they had the options of showing us wars and campaigns of Jalal, and the growth of Jodha into a powerful lady in politics. Instead they choose to bore us with vishkanya's and fake pregnancies. They have always shown Jalal, the greatest ruler of India, as a petty gullible man who will believe anything and Jodha as the most unrealistically kind person! The CV's have to pull up their collars and show us something better!

Bcoz EK believes that husbands should be licking their wife's feet 😆 All her shows have the same storyline. Only the starting is different 😆
This is why EK has always been criticised for her storylines.Unrealistic and OTT. Every show has its audience,which has been partitioned into two. One half is a combination of young teenage girls who still believe in fairytales(oh,those poor darlings) and middle ages auntyji-es who are sick of cooking for their nagging saasu-maa's 😆 This half keeps track of all shows happening on tv. Which wife is cheating on her husband,who is the murderer,who has had the plastic surgery. everything.They know for the fact that if the hero dies,he will return to take revenge 😆 I & B-information and broadcast team of the tv audience 😆 Then there is the other half.The working class. People who hardly get 1-2 hours off per day and switch on the tv to relax a bit. This half watches just one or two shows max. And expect only this-a bit of logic in the storyline.

But Balaji Telfilms has ALWAYS made shows for the first half. The other half can get lost. Who cares if u get only 1-2 hours off work? Who cares if you switch on the tv to forget about ur ownproblems and find some peace? BT only wnats to add onto ur problems. Now you have ur boss pressurising u at one end,and the other end,Tulsi and Parvati are about to discover that they have a step daughter.

And yes,coming to the point,EK's shows have always been female-centric. WOmen empowernmen and stuff.I would have supported it,if she actually made shows which addressed grave social evils like child marriage,rapes etc. But JA has been publicised as a romantic story between two powerful characters-Jodha and Akbar. But where is Akbar in the current storyline?

Even if they wanted to give women that sense of pride,they should portray the lead as an independent woman,who doesnt fear fighting against something which is wrong. And any such woman would not be with a man who looks at her for an answer every time he is in dilemma. He should also be independent. Fine he loves her and all,and comes to her when he really cant sort some things out,but a man who runs to his wife for every silly matter and has no sense of thinking of his own is nothing a but a coward.

Jalal in in the initial episodes was an independent,smart,witty and powerful character,who any girl could easily fall for. Only thing missing in him,was the fact that he didn't have anyone whom he could love. Love was supposed to strengthen him even more. But in this case,all it has done,is compromise his intelligence. It could have changed his sense of decision making,but here forget about change,he doesnt take decisions at all.

Which is just not done. Unrealistic. EIther the CVs are just stupid or they think that we are stupid. Sorry,but I cant be in love with a guy who needs me spoon feed him even when it comes to his own work. I'd let him do his work and would want him to let me do mine. No intrusion of any kind.

I miss the old Jalal.i really do. And I hope EK realises that Jalal is nothing without his wit. The essence of the show is lost without it.

And do I see a new nickname? "akbar fanatics" 😆 Sorry that I dont make a page long post every time Jodha sits or stands or blinks.That's what categorizes me as "akbar fanatic" right? 😆 Well,a fanatic would be someone who blindly appreciates every gesture the character does,whoever right or wrong they maybe. If we were fanatics,we would be celebrating even when Jalal devoted all his time to the harem instead of hsi kingdom. But that's exactly what we are NOT doing. I detest this Jalal.

As far as Ormax is concerned.I had to google what it was 😆 Know what I mean? Ormax decides the popularity? This is the most ridiculous thing I've heard all week.

Nobody gives a damn about Ormax,but people do give a damn about history. we dont have Ormax-ians,but we do have historians. 😆 This is the problem with most youngsters today,totally carefree and dont take pride in their own country's history. One should take pride in being in their culture and heritage.This is precisely why the English took advantage of us and looted as for over 200 years.

I'd rather want my kids engraved into history than spend their time googling about booze and drugs.

The internet audience accounts for hardly 10% of the total tv audience,and even if it is considered.Isnt it more logical and accurate if one considers voting done on a larger scale? Say,for award shows.The voting here is done on a much bigger basis,covering if not all,but the major target audience. The number of awards RT has won for his portrayal of Jalal speaks for itself,doesnt it?

even then if ormax is that big a deal,this poll is for the most popular fictional character isnt it? Jodha's character is fictional in its true sense and Jalal even if not now,for most part of it was much more realistic.

Hypothetically,if someone is overly sweet and nice to u,wouldn't you doubt their intentions? Maybe this is why I dont like this Jalal too. He is way too sweet. I just cant connect with characters like these.

"Everybody lies.The only variant is about what."-Dr.House.

Nobody is 100% white,there is a dark passenger within all of us. The most noble people have their share of dark pasts.

@The Patthaaka...for ur post, one word "BANG ON" 👏
I totally totally agree with you. Those people who r happy with the show right now, I want to ask those people that is whatever EK is showing in the show is correct??? Ask yourself, & maybe u will get the answer. Because NR doesn't permit EK to show anything she wants.I mean I'm not talking about RAJAT-PARIDHI...Here, I m talking about that real JODHA & AKBAR. I understand that jodha was a brave lady but that doesn't mean that akbar was a weak leader. But, in the show, it is clearly visible that akbar was a weak person who cannot take any decision by his own though in the real we know he was a great leader, that's why he is known as "akbar the great".
I just want to ask why is ekta hell bend on showing wrong history in the name of NR...
Please guys, don't encourage the wrong thing that ekta is trying to show in the serial. Afterall, it is not a fictional show, it's based on reality I mean history.

Hi mandy dear, my only advise to you, fellow Akbar lovers and ppl who would like to see some semblance of logic is - kyun khoon jalane pe tule ho???

I had made a post way back in Nov - Dec 2013 on the Indian TV's and EK's premise of a love story - I said this then and I repeat it now - any story which starts with the premise that X changed Y from a devil to an angel is bound to be rubbish - and this premise was made for an Absolute Monarch who was known for his tolerance and for the fact that he went beyond religion in his spiritual journey - all in the name of 'Heroine Mahaan'.

And btw let me add that there is no empowerment of women in any of our current soaps and least of all in EK's shows - EK is one of the most regressive story tellers of the lot.

If this was to have been really an epic love story and about empowerment then the makers should have had the guts to show a mature tale of relationship between Ruqs - Jalal as the husband to his best friend and Jodha - Jalal as the husband to his beloved - but no, what we get is a half baked tale in the name of 'Epic Love Story' - but there is no point in blaming the makers and EK - they really do not know how to tell a good story and they do not have the guts and the backbone to take a stand.

Let it be like this. We know real Akbar was far far brave than the Akbar which is shown in the show so let it be...but ya 1 thing, if any of your younger brother or sister is watching the show do remind them that this is ekta version of jodha-akbar not the real history of jodha-akbar so that they will not believe in this lie.

I don't think, this is much of a concern. A very small fraction of the population watches serials. People's opinions are not going to be shaped by it.

And for the tiny fraction that watches, serials mostly reinforce your already held views. You will watch MP with enthusiasm, if you already hold a negative view of Akbar, in fact you expect it in the serial.
