The guru visit is a mind blowing idea. The visit of Akbar to Goindwal to pay homage to Guru Amardas has all the makings of a blockbuster. It will get a lot of publicity, and if they present it well, for example show a divine light instead of some actor playing the part of the guru, then controversy will be avoided.

Either way the show will get publicity.

I too want this story of early Sikh history to be shown. We all know of the atrocities that later Mughal emperors inflicted on Sikhs but the critical role that Akbar's benign rule, even forthright encouragement, as with the golden temple, had in the growth of the fledgling religion needs to be told.

I agree that romance part could do with improvement.

Request to CVS:

1) Please make Akdha intelligent (more than villains) like in Atifa track and keep their characters consistent and not degrade one to glorify other.

2) Please close previous tracks before introducing new ones and not entangle all the tracks and make it boring and confusing.

3) Please for god's sake show a balance of villains and leads (not 80% villains and 20% leads- make it 50% leads (solo and duet), 20% side characters and 20% villains or something along these lines

4) Please write MORE novel, fresh, meaningful Akdha scenes and SHOW us EPIC LOVE- u can show passion.love and chemistry without kissing too- you just have to know how to write scenes- fantastic IF JA members can help you with this)

5) Please show Akbar and his navratnas, his reforms and Jodha (HK)'s influence in politics and her elevation of powers. show well-shot war scenes too.

6) Please punish villains and REVEAL EACH of their crimes from beginning until end IN FRONT OF ALL when it's their farewell time- e.g. Maham Anga- from her hand in Ruq's miscarriage till Chand's begum...- another e.g. show Ruq's misdeeds and conspiracies too in front of all and if not then punish her at least in private and then redeem her if needed. For now, she seems to be ok but either make it positive or grey but not full vamp. and if u do make her full vamp, then punish her too.

7)For god's sake NO salim-anarkali track and no huge leap either and keep Parijat as Akdha and I doubt PariJat would want to be parents to 15 yr old and most are interested in Jodha Akbar story NOT salim-anarkali track.

Awesome post, Donjas. Hope CVS pay attention to ur thread.

Maddy, I agree with everything you have written here . Making the story Akbar centric will drop the trps. No matter how much we dislike Ekta and her team for their lack of ethics, we can't underestimate their business skills. There is a reason Ekta doesn't choose Saas Bahu concept for her movies. She knows what clicks with the masses. Before spending money on an expensive historical

(sets, costumes etc etc), I bet her business team did their research on what will appeal to MOST viewers... There is a reason they chose to make JA and not Akbar the great. I undertand that some people watch it for Jalal only or Jodha only...but most viewers watch it because it is a different kind of love story. And unfortunately for them, a love story needs two people.

More than anything else, they need to do justice to both the leads and show them as sensible and dignified individuals. They were Royals.

Infact i find JA romantic scenes very subtle which suits my taste...many people complained about lack of passion in SR scenes where as i found it to be one of the best picturised SR which one could see with family without feeling awkward...just my opinion everyone has there own likes and dislikes.

I know Jodha took one attack on herself, remember reading about if after the Ben track. Only Abhay can tell!
I am not exactly sure about the khanjar though!

Abolishment of Sati, Nine gems, reforms - they are all primarily Akbar centric tracks and I doubt the makers would do justice to it😊. They have done a better job of portraying Akbar in fictional tracks than they have in truly Akbar-centric tracks. Anything that he did achieve was never truly highlighted properly as HIS work and that is grave injustice to a guy who was far ahead of his times.

Strangely, the best tracks Akbar-wise had to be Sukanya track, Mohan attack, Jodha's fake pregnancy and Atifa track (all fictional - ok a form of the tiger hunting attack has been documented - but, not the rest!)

The tax reforms, coinage, banishing of slavery, Akbar taming his elephant, the folklore of people giving Akbar his name/title - all of that was wrapped in a few scenes and weren't really promoted. His banishment of child marriage was actually an insult to him - by making him look like a weepy fool (Tasneem track).

Similary, the best tracks Akdha wise were again fictional too - Badal-Kajri, Shaahi farmaan, Ajmer Sharif trip, Arthi scenes, sword scenes etc... again all fictional (maybe except the Ajmer sharif trip per se).. but, their actual joint administration and other achievements have never been highlighted properly.

The only exception to it is the religious track, which I think they've depicted well.

A good idea for Akdha would have to be - the famous story I've seen mentioned by abhay in many places..

Jodha had gone to Amer to visit her relatives... and the people (not Mainawati Bharmal) treated her quite shoddily when she was there. unlike being depicted in the serial, many of her extended family members never accepted her because of the fact that she was married to a Mughal.

She was made to eat her meals separately - not allowed to mingle with others etc. When Akbar came to know of this, he rode all the way from Agra to Amer - saw the treatment she was receiving - and blasted them. He told her family that that would be the LAST time he sends his wife to Amer... obviously, this never affected the relationship Akbar had with Bharmal or Maan Singh though...but, the way he supported her in front of all

Such a truly glorious story between husband and wife...

It would also help dispel the wrong attitude being depicted in this serial that Everyone in Amer was good and everyone in Agra bad! 😊
