Mandy, the birbal kissa shown is actually one of the many Akbar Birbal storiea - infact if this particular story is popular in other parts with other characters in place of Akbar and Birbal. Birbal was never the court jester - he was a very intelligent man who was valued by Akbar for his unique perspectives which helped Akbar see things with greater clarity - Akbar himself being a man who saw things from varied perspectives had the ability to appreciate and cherish the same in others. Also Birbal was a very generous man and very spiritual - which is the way both Fazl and Badayuni describe him - and he was dear to Akbar for these very reasons - the rest interms of stories are more a case of folk tales and heavily borrowed from tenali rama tales and from similar tales of Bengal - do read C.M. Naim paper on this that I had pmed you. Actually the CVs cannot do subtle humour which actually will be a problem in the Akbar Birbal relation - plus the actor playing Birbal has to work hard on his diction - as for yesterday - thankgod Abar was shown as an Emperor - in all such cases the Emperor only comes after the birthing happens - thank god for small mercies from CVs that we will get the Emperor coming to the inner chambers after the twins are born !!!

adi, i think the whole thing did not gel well..entry of a very important character and birth of twins..if the main focus was entry and the birth happening in the palace it would have looked more convincing and realistic..and yes jalal would have entered the chambers once the babies were born..but here this whole melodrama of ruk taking jo and then shraapistan being shown was just out of sync..and then the scene of birbal was not well played..do not know if it was actor or the director that could not get it right..somehow it was too early and too quick to digest the fact that birbal is talking about akbar's begums in the very first meeting and that also when he was in chains...kuch baat nahin bani..i hope to see better scenes in the future!

can anyone get aziz koka's face pic when BB was blabbering..he looked out of this world😆

adi , i will read what u pm'd me regarding birbal because i want to understand his character and then give zee walas some feedback how they can portray him..and i think we all should as he was an important character in akbar's life!

U know Amina in spoiler pics Birbal wife wearing jodha old green dress ...😆.. Now I got the inner story .. She wants to live like jalal queens so jalal gave his queen old cloths to birbu wife 😆

😆..a good one sara!..sara after rewatching the epi i kinda liked akbar birbal scene..i guess after reading into too much negativity i started watching half heartedly and now when i watched with cool mind i loved rajat's expressions and he looked so hott😳

Yaar Mandy timing of Birbal entry so bad...If this Birbal DEk comedy wil be in jashnn of twins than his madari pan can be bearable at least ... But what the odd timing of entry of most awaited character...Really CReative lost all grace of Mughal emperor, Mughal court and mughal harem...

Well, Mandy dearest, I want to refrain from saying I told you folks so! , but Birbal was ludicrous. The one in the film (in the Edited Scenes ) had the right mix of forthrightness stopping just short of cheekiness, and a long, fake solemn face. I do not like this chap at all, he looks very downmarket, like a jester at a mela.

As for transporting a 8 months pregnant Jodha all the way to the Hakima, you have said it all, so I have nothing to add to the folly of what they showed. One would not risk any such journey even today. And did the Mughals not have a rath drawn by horses? Why always this stupid, slow palkhi?

As for the rest, including Shaguni Bai in large doses, the less said the better. And when, Mandy, have you seen preemie twins look this sturdy? They looked like 3 month olds.
