Episode has a ridiculous storyline and severe paucity of quality! - Page 3

I think the problem you have at the moment is that you are depending too much on spoilers and predictions to make an analysis. When those spoilers don't come out to be true, your mood plummets, as in right now.

I didn't believe in the spoilers from the beginning, or at least I did not have faith in these half baked utterings by blissfully unaware ZEE wallahs. So, I am in a much more positive mood. It also helps that I don't consider Akbar to be some kind of God who can do no foolish thing, ever. Instead, I focus on performances.

When you make these adjustments to your thinking, as I have done, and think of this serial as a traditional movie kind of setup, not a life story of Akbar, then yesterday's episode was pretty good. It had action, lots of drama and plenty of suspense.

I request you, in the future don't take any spoilers into considerations. Most of them turn out to disappoint, instead analyze what you see on the screen, you are superb at that.

Rightly written. Except that they want to raise our blood pressure, I see no point why Jalal was made captive. Was it to make us weep seeing the begins preparing themselves to drink poison. Will post later at length.

Frankly speaking i enjoyed yesterdays epi it had drama emotion some good acting a king refusing to bend down n a queen refusing to give up on her husband. If one can forget that it is based on real life characters one can enjoy. Anyway i dont want to see the exact life of akbar in serial. I mean no offense but what was epically romantic abt having hundreds of wives n having kids with a few of them n he did continue to marry after jodha too so i will take fiction over reality this time. I agree watching akbar getting captured was disheartning but i loved the way he continued laughing at mali n taunting him all the way. Even the thought of his harem being looted didnt down his spirits. Did u notice smthg fishy abt how he says that if i m still alive after a few hrs u will b in big trouble. Is it indication of a plot or m i clutching at straws here?
I m looking forward to jodha being kidanpped coz then i get to see an angry n worried jalal ready to face a huge phalwan to save his jodha. Havent we all been waiting to see an angry n invincible jalal? The only problem i have is with nigar being forgiven after all this. Thats taking fiction also too far.

Hi Mansi,

Your review is wonderfully funny today and I'm glad to start my day with a good laugh.

I am not at all put off by what is being shown. It reminds me of so much of the movies from the 70s and 80s. 😆 Yes, it's all historical bunkum. But who cares? As we keep hearing, this is just fiction, inspired by history but not the real McCoy. 😉

Do you know why Jalal was captured so early in the war, after just 5 mins? Because Ekta had budgeted the war scenes for only 5 mins. 😆 It's cheaper to show Jalal in a cave-like room with just Abul mali and a couple of his henchmen. Esp in these recession-hit times.

30 hours. It sounds really good. Like a doctor telling a patient's family that the next 30 hours are going to decide whether the patient lives or dies. Here, of course, we know for sure that Jalal will live. So let's enjoy the overflow of tomato ketchup and the 😲 and 😭 expressions.

30 hours can translate to the whole of this week in terms of screen time. So let's enjoy ourselves the best we can! 😉

Mansi,

As always a lovely post.Well the amount of creative liberty taken is OTT these days by the cvs.

But still today I liked RTs performance when he was caught and tortured(though I fast forwarded torture scenes mostly) .And the girls gang was also good performance wise.

I think tomm they shouldn't show the torture much.But they should show the girls getting the news and preparing for the war.Well as far as mirchi war is concerned ,my mother-in- law gave me some inputs.Nowadays she is attending the lecture series on Maharana Pratap and over there ,the lecturer told that mirchi powder was used by Rajput women many times for their defense.So that mirchi war was explainable to me.Now off topic,I will share with you one thing ,that my MIL after attending these lectures is a always complaining about Akbar as the lecturer has portrayed , Akbar as a Villian.And I defend him badly telling that lecturer is wrong.Now Akbar and MP have become a reason for another Saas Bahu drama .😆

Now I really feel that tomm this Chand Begum should show her chand sa mukhada.Else I will wander on the street ,singing ,"Tu chupi hain kaha."

Really this Maham's ability of hiding her crimes and ,now hiding this chand begum for years is great.I now really feel that this MH370 is with MA.

That gorilla man is hilarious.But why such a huge man for delicate Jodha to kidnap.This work could be done by anybody ,give it to Shariff he would have loved it and won't even charge a penny.

Well like Britishers I will sing today,"God save the queen(s)." Oh lord,save the queens and our beloved King from the enemy .

Adianasr wanted me to post this on your thread Mansi...

"Zee has completely let its viewers down with this rubbish. Akbar is definitely not god but an Emperor is always bigger than the warrior or the man - the Emperor symbolises the Empire and his capture is loss of war, Empire and face - and it is for this reason kings and emperors are never used as bait only their look alikes are - the Emperor has to be protected at all cost and similarly if every member of the Army is killed even that decrees loss of war - these are the rules of war and of chess - and these are cold hard facts - even in mahabharat they are showing the same - keeping the Emperor safe and maintaining atleast some of the army - these facts cannot be played with - even for over dramatization and extreme natakiya rupanter."
