Lovely post Divya.😊I can take all three notes, be it staccato, legato or crescendo...but it should be in both the leads and in balance.
Staccato can also be viewed as a random, disorganized phase which,finally moves towards systematic organized phase...like in physics, transition of energy.
I don't know why but for me Jodha's character represents more of staccato notes, with brief notes of legato and crescendo.
Since there are quite a few, albeit brief, legato and crescendo notes associated with her...I'll jot them out here, first the legato notes:
-her first singing of Man Mohan after marriage in tent...it was soothing.
-her first cooking for Jalal, of her own free will, without anybody else's influence.🤗
-first understood confession of love from Jodha, morning after the not so misunderstood boat ride.😳
-for the very first time visibly admiring her husband in chaugan dress.
-her wanting to learn way of doing Namaz
-the very recent, cuddling her husband like a baby in mother's arms.🤗
Now her crescendo notes:
-Her vowing to get Jalal's head
-Keeping the sword unknowingly on Shehanshaah-e-Hind's neck
-Her checkmating of both Ruqaiya and Jalal (by not accepting his gift)
-Her false confession of murdering Ruqaiya's womb.
-Breaking of glass pot before Jalal, to show each sorry doesn't make things fine.
-Then of course her first suicide attempt...the KZ one didn't bring in the high notes for me, at least.
- By checkmating MA in Sukanya wedding track
-Her Mughal khandaan ki Jodha Begum in Shivani's elopement track
-Drinking of poison.
(Her Mathura outburst was also a crescendo for some but not for me...it did not have on me the desired effect.)
-Her mirchi war👏
Jalal's character have got the all three notes mentioned by you in fair proportion. Lemme remember his Legato notes first:
-two moments will go hand in hand...when he heard Jodha's name and spoke it and when he first saw her, right from the palanquin to the image in lake to sneaking in the Amer palace to watch her...for me these were both soothing, lingering emotion like a legato as well as a crescendo note.
-the way he interacted with his lil saalis, immediately after his marriage...awww!!!
-his agreeing to separate from Jodha, if its her wish and yet not wanting to and implying openly the same...sad but it remained for long.😳
-The whole Sukanya track was mix of legato and crescendo notes.
-His first confession of his feelings for Jodha to her, before the dhakka...ufff vulnerable and beautiful.☺️
-His opposing to Ruqaiya's move of throwing Jodha out of her hojra, by making it his and giving it back to Jodha.
-His confession of his feelings for Jodha, to Allah and Kanha.
-His scene with Ruqaiya after her exposure in FP and then breakdown later with Jodha...it could have reached a crescendo, but it didn't.
-His Akbar moment.👏
-His showing faith in Jodha, after finding her in KZ track, and keeping her respect up most in front of Awam after her return🤗
-Very recent, his cool cat diplomacy with the Rajvanshis.😉
His crescendo notes:
-Picking up Jodha's payal from fire, in Amer, after seeing her first time.
-breakdown by BK's death
-breakdown in Ruqaiya's MC and of course the infamous zinda jala dengein.
-Mohan fight
-Bowing down to Maa Kaali
-The infamous dhakka
-of course, again infamous, outburst of Jalal on Jodha in SM track
-MA's first and then final exposure.
-Atgah and Adham's death.
-thereafter his breakdown
Akdha too have quite few legato mixed with crescendo notes:
-their whole marriage sequence, right from muh-dikhayi to mandap scene to oh!! so famous first kataar night to first breakfast to first night in Agra.
-their first aarti
-their first sword fight
-All their hand-cons...all are passionate, desperate, heated attempts.
-not all but most of their Angoori Bagh moments...especially their, first civil, calm, lovey-dovey talk, after Jodha's revival from poison, in her hojra to Anghoori baagh
-their confession soul talk, after Ben poison.
-badal-kajri track
-their boat rides.
-welcome of Jodha after her return from Amer
-their first hug
-consummation sequence
-the morning after was sooo calm
-Jalal watching Jodha behind the curtains, the night before Atifa's final bhanda-phod
-after so much torture of separation in Atifa track...their hug.
Staccato notes:
Jodha in KZ track and Jalal in mirchi war...I didn't recognize them😕😡
@Bold: My favouritest scenes.😛
I know the list is long and boring, but once I started remembering, I could not stop😳
