But today was too much. They will show that God will fulfill a baddua of a person who herself is the reason of killing unborn children of mothers and God will make a good person suffer only because he did justice. Jalal didn't do anything wrong by killing AK. But MA's curse will be fulfilled and it will be proved that Jalal did a sin by killing a criminal like Adham. WOW.
There is a proverb in Bangla, "Sokun er ovishap e Goru more na." (Cow never dies by Vulture's curse) sorry I don't know the English version of this. It means Bad peoples curse never hurms good peoples. But I guess Now cvs will prove this proverb wrong.
Whether we give any credence to the curses depends on the mindset of the person being cursed and on us the audience. Psychopaths routinely curse when they die. That is the definition of a psychopath. They don't have any feelings for others, personal gratification is all that matters to them.Everyone else is wrong and they are always right is how they see the world.
So, why should it matter to us that Maham curses Jalal. The viewpoint of Jalal has been presented in the most sympathetic manner possible, he did everything in his power to avert the catastrophe.
If now the curses turn out to be true, why should we attribute it to the curse itself and not to random chance. We, the audience should be intelligent to see this and to discard the ridiculous rationale of Maham.
I don't understand why such hue and cry is being made about the curses. I agree it does not tally with recorded history, but how reliable is Abul Fazl's description of this event, from second hand sources made decades after the event.
I agree curses are not mentioned in the record, but is too hard to imagine the Maham of history having behaved like the Maham of our serial. After all she is mother of the universally recognized bad guy Adham, and a foster mother who made at least 2 attempts on Akbar's life.
The CV's taking historical license for this scene is acceptable to me because I can imagine the Maham of history behaving like this, what is unacceptable is imaginary nonsense like Ateefa or Khaiber or Nigar or Vishkanya.
Considering all this, today's episode was one of the best of the month, it had raw emotions, drama and spectacular acting. I can't ask for more.
