Re the promo on the Todarmal, as one of the Presidents of the Todarmal Fan Club (or rather President-e-khaas) I will lead some action this weekend. Please watch out for it. So, now let's focus on today's episode:
After yesterday's episode today was a marked improvement (remember yesterday's low bar before your jaw drops😆):
So, these were the 5 improvements in today's episode for my take 5:
(1) Screen space shifted to our trusted villain, Maham Anga. There is one thing that the CVs always make Maham Anga lucky as she always finds things out first. But I love the tact and sharpness of her character ... It takes her one second to come up with a plan B when she finds out she is Nigaar ... How smooth was the move to "hum aapki baandhi hai" ... How does she think so quickly? 👏
(2) Jalal is on top of his game in four ways
- Alertness: Being alert enough in his sleep to bring his dagger out when disturbed ... Now, we just need to see the same alertness in DEK (unlike yesterday)
- Tedapan: Being teda with Jodha with the "Are you looking for excuses to meet me? "
- Hopeless romantic: Asking Jodha the question we want to "Why don't you spend time with? Do you not love me?"
- Logic: Answering Jodha's question on why the Meena Bazaar was only for khaas begums- Because he knew his focus would be on his three khaas begums so he did not want them to feel bad their effort was wasted- valid point!v👏
(3) While Jodha was focused on social service (fighting for the rights of the other begums) and Meena Bazaar today, I liked a few things with Jodha today:
- She decided not to argue with Jalal with others and did it one on one ... I am glad she has now learned the effectiveness of this ... Hopefully no more public confrontations
- As a typical wife, she shifted all the blame on why they don't spend time together on Jalal - smoothly done! 😉
- For all her social service, she is truly trying hard to win the Meena Bazaar! I breathed a sigh of relief that she is not sacrificing for Salima or Ruqaiyya! 😆
(4) MahaC finally thinks strategy and tact ... Now that I am finally used to seeing the backgrounds , costumes, and weird eyes, I am finally warming up to MahaC as she is finally talking strategy and just not barking anger and violence. She is thinking about strategic alliances and how to build up force against Jalal ... So, maybe there is hope for this villainess after all.
(5) A new-found maturity in the precap? I liked how Jalal seemed to appreciate all three begum's gifts in the precap and wanted them all to be presented in the DEK.
So, that leaves the question, what was Shehnaaz planning to do with the crowns and how did it fail?
And for a fun laugh (at least it made me laugh) , five discoveries I made today:
(1) Shehnaaz has proved she is Jalal's sister by telling the chor (Maham Anga) about the chori (Chaand Begum)
Remember, Jalal asking Adham Khan to find the dacoits and entrusting Sharif to find his assassin during the abolish slavery jashn? 😆
(2) Maham Anga always failed when she paired up with someone with Ruqaiyya's intelligence level ... Imagine the result when she pairs up with Shehnaaz and her brilliance? (Also means there is hope for Todarmal) 😉
(3) Seeing how MahaC treats her daughter , now I know why Hakim Mirza has run away to Agra and likes Jalal more (for now) 😆
(4) Having seen MahaC's daughter, I now have a clearer picture on how Humayan may have fallen in love with MahaC. That was bugging me! 😉
(5) There are khaas varieties of not only begums but swords as well. I would next like a khaas episode as well CVs .. Do you remember you used to deliver khaas episodes?
So, what are your thoughts on the episode and my take?
