The grass is always greener on the other side - Page 14

I agree with you 100 percent here.The grass is always greener on the other side but you can always water your side instead of going to other side just because it looks green.Who knows in that greenery what all is hidden ?

Then a known devil is better than the unknown one.You know your side very well ,if some problem is there just fix it.This story has so much of potential to show and the cvs or PH are just not ready to explore.The romance if not shown physically can be shown in other ways too.

Where has that Jalal's husky voice gone which can make anybody go weak?

Where Jo's blush has gone?

Why they look so bored not only of each other but of themselves too?

Why doesn't Jo dress up in such a way to make Jalal loose himself?

I mean looking at Jodha's dresses I feel the bandhis of Mughal e Aazam were more lucky .

Is Agra in Rain shadow region? Then how Yamuna gets water?

Rain has immortalized romance for decades.

Yest when Jajo met after Jo getting hurt ,Jalal told Ruku to do murhampatti.He could have just caught hold of Jo( infront of a Ruku ,then it's wow) He would have done that himself .Now that whole scene could be shown from romantic aspect too.

The height was when he was cuddling Jo and with Moti's voice he ran away.Now is he Jo's hubby or a lover who came from the window climbing the ladder that he should run away ?

Current director is the best only in death scenes😡 Two we have seen one will be this week . He just can't show these lovely light tender moves which moved us early

I wish Ekta could read your post, not the CV's, just Ekta. I had thought that the main journey of Jodha Akbar was just about starting, so many incidents to show, so much of the growth in interpersonal relationship to depict, that is why the leap rumor is so disconcerting. The condition is made worse by some members reveling in the prospect and making voluminous, mocking posts about it.

My common sense still tells me that business dictates that there will be no leap.

Anyway, coming back to your points. If even 50% of what you say is implemented, the serial will be back in the rosy health days of Feb/Mar.

I will add the following. The need for more time for male characters is a good one. Who would not want to see the romance of a lovable character like Man Singh and his marriage or the travails of Todar Mal, as he refurbishes temples and rehauls the revenue system.

It is also important to have a happy phase in the serial. There is one after another dreary negative drama at present. What about some time celebrating festivals like Karva Chauth or Teej or a lavish marriage ceremony? For most viewers of JA, physical romance is not needed, all that is needed is the presence of a Jodha and Jalal in the same frame.

Having said all that, one should not forget that even after enduring disgusting tracks of Mahachuchak, Nigar, Khaiber, Atifa etc, the average rating is still only 20-30% less than the peaks. The serial still ranks in the top 3. That tells something of how sold the JA viewer base is. If things are done right, that 20-30% can easily be won back.

Nice post Divya..😊..i like the title..Nowadays the most discussed topic in dis forum is Romance..Even during ghrina days, their love story was not based on push pulls..i think jalal,tried dat only once, in their first night in agra..😉..But there was romance..But now, dey are with each other in almost all scenes..but there is no such a thing called feeling of togetherness..it looks like they are bored with each other..😕..and i'm bored with their scenes..ofcourse,there r people who like those scenes,because when two good looking actors,especially leads came in same frame, it makes them happy..But unfortunately it didn't work for me..😭..If they r planning to leap,i want salim-Noor story..but same time i don't want Ekta to butcher Noor 's charecter ..i'm very much happy with the old DD1 show..😃

Divya, loved you take on the leap...if there is a leap I am going to stop watching JA for sure.

There is so much that can be shown from Akbar's life -which is why I can't understand what is stopping the CVs from doing so. Going by their current attitude, Salim-Anarkali or any other story will suffer the same step-motherly treatment (as you pointed out).

JA has lost its charm, and I am trying hard to stop watching JA. A leap will be a blessing in disguise - at least for people like me 😉
