Take 5 Discussion Thread July 2014 Part 1- Note on pg 11

Some folks wanted a thread to share and discuss thoughts on the episode. So starting this thread. I will post whenever I can but till I am back in the US it will be your job to continue this thread, if you would like.

It is your thread to continue but here is an attempt to cheer you up after yesterday's episode (July 1st)

I admit complete defeat that Jodha and Jalal have very limited grey cells left- Jodha is still going around saying what Todarmal is done is unforgiveable and Jalal is asking God if he made a mistake.

But here were a few things I found funny:

(1) CVs have taken pretty much taken the teda out of Teda Emperor but just so we don't completely forget him they show him angrily practicing his sword

Now the question is, when will the rest of him be back?

(2) CVs next try taking us on a nostalgia trip- we love to see an angry Jalal practicing and Jodha trying to interrupt him.

Classic scene - except I no longer recognize the Jodha and Jalal I am seeing. Bring them back CVs!

(3) When all else fails Jalal typically asks God for help and that is what he did when he asked "Am I making a mistake?"

God at this point is utterly frustrated- he wonders - I sent them storms and didn't allow the diyas to light up and they still did not get the point.

He realizes He must make it easier and a miracle happens ...

(4) Jodha walks by Shehnaaz's room exactly when she expresses frustration on acting crazy - finally Jodha's timing is right. Obviously it is God's miracle!

And again we know why there are no doors in Agra- First to expose Ruqs fake pregnancy and now Shehnaaz!

(5) While I loved the slaps on Shehnaaz for what she put Todarmal, I love how Shehnaaz read my mind and told Jodha she should reduce her words and focus on recognizing people better.

And yes we were about to see an angry , seething Jalal going after Shehnaaz and I was ready to cheer when Jodha cooled him down.

You see, Jodha was trying to make sure no one would call Jalal unjust for punishing Shehnaaz when he let Bakshi Bano go. Todarmal is obviously another category ;)

Now, this is your thread to continue to discuss! Will join in when I can.

heights of partiality of jodha

Thnks Divya for making this post. 😊
Well I didn't like anything in yesterday's epi except SN's those lines to JO. But as usual Jo didn't learn her lesson and told Jalal to forgive SN. Well she is EK's Mahan Jodha obviously she doesn't have any fault so how can we expect her to learn any lesson. She is perfect.
Jalal did take that decision in DEK only because of Jo's bhasan and that's why he is angry but I m still angry at him for doing nothing .
I think it will be again the mahan Jodha who will save Rahim and everyone will praise her. SB won't never be angry on Jo for bringing SN and risking Rahim's life twice prooving me Right that sauteli ma sauteli hi hoti hai kabhi bhi asli ma nahi ban sakti.
But seriously Divya this show is slowly loosing its charm by always showing the same thing Jo being the savior and Jalal by stander. There was a time when I used to watch all the repeats even the late night one. And my mom used to complain why I watch same thing again n again. But now don't feel like watching the original telecast. This show is loosing charm. And as usual like other EK's serial has became boring after one year. I m sure soon I will lose interest in this show if this Jodha Mahan continues. Which I m sure will continue.

i dont care what they show about jodha... long given up on her. as long as they show jalal sword fighting and all i am pleased.

Divi,

Wow Divya ,Nice take 5.After Jalal ,now it was Shenu who told Jodha that she speaks too much.Now Jodha has become talkative Basanti of Sholay.But indeed it was true what she said.

Divi,

Yesterday's episode was a boon to fans as there were sankets (that word!) of curtains closing on this track soon. But, it was probably one of the worst in case of technicalities. A few observations,

1. Sanket 101 - Apparently a cyclone/thunderstorm wasn't enough of a sanket to Jodha beghum, so Kanha arranged another, by refusing to let the diya to light. I wish Jodha had atleast changed the wick and tried, but apparently Kanha had had enough with Jodha's antics, so he arranged a miracle.

2. Window - This window would probably be as loved as the MS Windows by JA fans.

3. Tulsi tales - Meanwhile the Tulsi plant is in full bloom thanks to regualr watering by Jo. And Jodha saw her husband practicing spear. What was that sword? It was taller that RT, I almost thought he was going to practice taking out cobwebs from ceilings next. By the way Divi, we got a water splashing with Jodha yesterday, but, of course the mood wasn't right. Jalaal was so angry that he couldn't note that Jodha had upgraded her prasad from the humble laddu to pista pedha sandwich. Meanwhile Munim Khan arrived with news of preperation of execution. Looks like dude doesn't know that his own son has been chopped like melons in Kabul.

4. Shock therapy - Apparently Jodha was too shocked by Shehnaaz's truth to react, nothing else can explain her freezing when Shehnaaz gleefully tied and gagged her. Maybe she was thinking, He Ambe maa what have I done? Such a grave sin. No she wasn't thinking about TM, she was sorry for slapping her nanandsa.

When will she learn? Does she mistake her treacherous family for a 90's movie one?

Meanwhile Jalaal was also shocked witless and was basically testing how much his eyelids could be stretched by constantly enlarging his eyes. Why doesn't the dude carry a gun around, I would have wanted him to shoot the brains off his air-headed sister. There was one expression on his face, Why Jodha Why? Why did you bring her to the palace? Why abba huzoor why? Why did you bring her to the earth, not to mention a stupid farmaan?

Even he didn't think of TM.

5. Pep talk - Meanwhile MCB inspired what looked like a puny army of cavalrymen on horse. Haider gave a stinky eye to his uncle for ruining his jawani with the halkat female. Finally accepting his fate, he left to play nintendo.

6. Shehnaaz please accept a spade from my side. It will help you quicken the grave digging process. You plan to topple Jalaal's army through MCBs army which just left Kabul. Did it ever cross your mind that on foot it would take more than a couple of months for them to reach Agra? And all this time you plan to thwart Jalaal by keeping Rahim as hostage? Exactly how many times were you dropped on your head? You make Adham look like a dude with IQ level of 180.

Meanwhile the episode ended and noone is worried about TM.😡😭

Great post! 👏

Leading to a thunder and an apparition of abba huzoor saying, "I was tricked." 😆
