Hi Donjas- I don't think you saw my take 5 yesterday ... I thought Rajat's emotions were very good throughout- so here were my thoughts: https://www.indiaforums.com/forum/jodha-akbar/4132353/take-5-top-5-countdown-for-august-14-2014
In the last scene, he has just seen Khaiber save Jodha's life and return his amanat back to him and also see someone he viewed as inhuman, show a human weakness like suicide. He is bound to be shaken.
I cannot understand the sympathy that people seems to have for Jalal's reaction. Maybe I think differently or maybe it's a man thing, but I don't think I have seen a more infuriating piece of acting in a long time.
Imagine, instead of this Ape like Khaiber, a psychopath of limited intelligence had abducted Jalal's wife. Suppose, he catches up to this psychopath after a few days.
Then when he sees this psychopath commit suicide on front of his eyes, is the man going to have noble thoughts of wonder at the supposed normal weakness of self destruction that this psychopath has, or would that man be consumed by hatred and anger at that moment that he would not care.
