My comments on the episode: I think, folks, I am heartily tired of the political scenes at the Agra palace and at Kabul, and so I am really looking forward to some real war action for a change. At least it should be fun to watch. Jalal will be good with his moves and if they are planning to include Jodha in the action as well, that should also be good. For the rest we can enjoy watching the Dandiya!
The thing that I am not able to comprehend is where Salima fits in with her war costume and where Ruq fits in with her bow and arrows? Do these two women also feel impelled to join the war because of Jodha being a key part of the charge?
Even if they are showing the war, how long can they show it going on? Maybe for a maximum of three days with intermittent non-war scenes woven into the script? Can they afford to show a war for a whole week or will that get too monotonous?
Will they show that Nigar is killed by Jodha accidentally as part of the war action ... or will there be a twist in the tale when Nigar is actually killed off by Maham or Mahchuchak. Maybe, just before she dies, Nigar gets to know that Jalal is not her mother's captor because her mother is found by then and is in her right senses and drills the truth into her daughter that it was Maham not Jalal who kidnapped her?
My mind has started going in this direction because I do think Nigar will be killed for her cameo to end. But before that we may have some heart-rending scenes where she gets to know that she was wrong about Jalal and become utterly remorseful in death
There are many, many possibilities now ... so there are several open questions in my mind, all hanging as loose unresolved strands of thought:
1. Maham now has no more use for Nigar or her mother, especially if Nigar has already found the farman and has whatever she needs to ascend to the Delhi takht by vanquishing Jalal. So the question that seems most important to me now is whether Maham will have to forget about getting Delhi for her son and just manage to cover her backside on the Chand Begum kidnap issue? In that case would it not serve Maham better to try and kill off Nigar (and make it look like part of the battle or fleeing) and would Maham also not be better off killing Chand Begum rather than risking exposure as Chand Begum's kidnapper? Yesterday when Adham brought the news of all that was happening to Maham, for once I saw Maham behind the times. She had seemed to have lots her sharpness if she wasn't even aware of the goings-on at the palace. And when she did come to know from Adham, her first instinct was fear that Nigar may tell Jalal that Maham encouraged her to fight Jalal. Maham's greatest fear now is exposure on the Nigar-knowledge and Chand begum-kidnap front. So I think both Chand Begum and Nigar are at risk of death from Maham now.
2. Incidentally, how come Adham Khan was escorting Jalal into the surang in yesterday's precap? Has Adham decided to go against his mother out of pity for Chand Begum (he was already showing pity for her when he first saw Chand Begum) or does Adham think that if he lets Jalal get Chand Begum in this mad state, Jalal will no longer gun for his mother and Jalal will never get the truth from a mad Chand Begum?
3. When exactly will suspicions on Maham being the captor of Chand Begum surface? And how? Contingent upon that is Hamida remembering the strange behaviour of Maham in the forest area?
4. We also know that Mahchuchak just needed Nigar to start the war with Jalal, but I think the minute the army of Mahchuchak is at Agra, Mahchuchak will ensure that Nigar is killed and she will then continue the war against Jalal for her own benefit. So that is enemy No. 2 gunning for Nigar's life.
5. Jodha and Jalal may try very hard to capture Nigar rather than kill her as they want desperately to put her straight on her wrong notions about Jalal kidnapping her mother and snatching her inheritance. But will Jodha and Jalal manage to get Nigar without accidentally killing her? And does Jalal refuse to fight his own sister and this then causes Jodha to enter the war instead? Will Jalal enter the war after Nigar is out of it, either killed or injured or captured?
6. Will Abul Mali join the Mahchuchak forces at Agra?
7. Will Chand Begum be seen by Jalal? I have a feeling she will because if Maham kills her off too quickly a large part of the story will get erased unexploited. I suspect that at some point the Gwalior Hakim's treatment will yield a non-mad Chand Begum, and I also feel that somehow she is going to overturn this whole Nigar angle by saying "I lost my baby in her infancy. My child died in my arms and that's why I became psychotic and kept holding onto the doll. This girl who calls herself Nigar is in fact not my real daughter at all. My daughter had some distinguishing birthmarks which this girl doesn't have. Could she be a plant of that daasi woman? Or could she be a plant of Maham via that daasi woman in order to be able to find that farman?" Alternatively, if Chand Begum does acknowledge Nigar as her long-lost daughter she may well straighten out Nigar by saying "My daughter you have got it all wrong. Todarmal is a decent man you have besmirched. It was he who took me safely to Humayun at Agra before you were born. And Jalal knows nothing about the farman and khazana your father left for you!"
8. I also feel that Chand Begum's captivity and ill-treatment by Maham will come out from the mouth of Chand Begum and thus Maham will get exposed despite her meticulous plans not to get exposed. (Now I am still stuck on the Zee man saying that when Maham goes down she will take Ruq also down with her. So could it be that Ruq gets too aggressive with Maham when Maham gets caught and in return Maham exposes her in front of Jalal?)
9. How will the war end and when? Will it end with the death of Nigar and the driving away of Mahchuchak forces by Jalal? In the meantime, will Hakim join Jalal's forces against his mother's army or will he change sides at this point?
10. What was that dialogue of Mahchuchak for, when she tells Fazal to kill off all the soldiers of her own army that do not fight for her with full loyalty. Will there be a scenario where Mahchuchak's own armies are turned against each other within their own ranks, where the loyal ones try to kill the disloyal ones and thus eat up their own strength?
11. When do Jodha's brothers join the war? And what about this enmity brewing between Mansingh and Hakim Mirza? Will we see that start?
12. Is this war only about the resolution of Nigar, Chand Begum, Maham and Ruq or is this war setting the stage for greater action hereafter on the Mahchuchak versus Jalal angle, when the politics will be less within the Agra palace and be more about Agra versus Kabul?
Folks, here I am guided to an extent by what the Zee man told me on phone two days ago. He said that within one month we will get things resolved in this order: First there will be the war, then the discovery of Chand Begum, then the exposure of Maham, and then via Maham the exposure of Ruq. I have no reason to doubt this Zee man who spoke to me for he was the same man who had said some correct things before.
If this is the case then all the attempts by Jalal to find Chand Begum immediately may fail, and the war may start and only after that Chand Begum may be found.
I am feeling as if there are lots of loose ends all around me but I am not sure how to make them all fall into a story pattern at this stage. At the same time I am eagerly looking forward to the war and to see how the pieces of this complex puzzle will all fit eventually. Any guesses any one?

Interesting questions , Mansi...but i don't think, MA will choose to kill Nigar... remember she still has that farmaan...
rather the foremost concern for MA now is to shift CB to any such place where Jalal will not be able to reach and so she is saved for atleast for some days...
then may be while Jallu discusses abt the farmaan of inheritence , Nigar has with her, then MA will come to know abt it... and then she can blackmail Nigar to get the farmaan by using CB as pawn...but before that the war should be over and Nigar caught... and i feel that will be when MA ll blackmail Nigar with CB, then Nigar and Jallu will come to know that MA is behind CB kidnapping, and he may play the game with help of Nigar and MA will be caught red-handed, CB rescued...
i feel this may happen in next 2 weeks... coz tonight and tom will be wasted in showing Jallu's useless commanders and army and even more useless detective team, trying to find CB, and then they will get the news of MCB revolting against Jallu and sent her army to kill Jallu and take over Agra takht...
let's not expect anything more from CVs..
i ll rather count new bloopers in today's episode...
