Brilliant post. But I didn't pay attention to your jewelry theory. Can you please share??
Sure...:)
Jewellery theory:
1)Jalal first met Atifa in the Hamam WITHOUT any jewellery.
2) He returned to his hojra, & made her portrait, WITH complete detailing of jewellery, with a most prominent MAANGTIKA, earrings, n a pendant in her necklace.
3) Next day, in the DEK, when Atifa's ghunghat flew off, he noticed the SAME JEWELLERY (when the audience thought that he was staring at her face)
4) He goes upto her, & lifts her ghunghat (which she had placed back) to IDENTIFY her JEWELLERY from close quarters... (when the audience thought that he was completely besotted by Atifa & was showing unacceptable behaviour)
Now, I interpret this like that:
1)Maybe Atifa was a reputed enchantress who used gems with magical powers to cast spells...& Jalal had already seen her portrait before...(or something to this effect)
2)When he saw her in the Hamam she was WITHOUT any jewellery,
3) He then returned to his hojra, & drew her portrait, COMPLETE with her jewellery, WITHOUT having seen her in person with her jewellery...
HOW DID HE THEN DRAW HER PORTRAIT WITH ALL HER JEWELLERY, which turned out to be same as in his portrait, in the DEK when he saw Atifa ...
4) So if Jalal was aware of these magical gems, we can assume that he would know the "antidote" to "uncast" the spell, which he must have done...
(Maybe it's just the gem in the maangtika)
Unless it's a blooper by the Cvs, I stand by this theory to explain the sequence of events behind Jalal's mystical behaviour throughout this infamous Atifa track...
