Good take , Mansi... frankly DEK scene was something i liked from yest episode , not Jo and Ruku, and never Jalal's so called worry abt his so called most fav and beloved wife...
since yest , i read many posts abt Birbal not being funny at all... frankly , we all r mistaking the prominent figure from history in a very wrong way... let's get one thing clear, Birbal was not a comedian in Akbar's 9 Gems... he was Vazir or one of the Vazirs, who had very sharp mind, he was very intelligent and witty, and he had that nature to reduce tension and make the atmosphere light, and still come out with some concrete solutions for the problems in front of them... and that certainly doesn't make him comedian...
we all r used to the stories since our childhood , abt Akbar-Birbal, and from that we all expect that he will be the one to make everybody smile/laugh all the time... see those stories r meant for kids , and not just for fun, but to learn something from each story... at the end of each story we get some or other conclusion... and regards that relation btw Akbar and Birbal, then they struck the cord so well, coz Akbar himself possessed all those virtues of being shrewd, very very intelligent and witty person...and that was something he shared that bond with Birbal...
but history tells many different things abt Birbal, and all those things r not so funny... Raja Birbal was the title given by Akbar to the person named , Mahesh Das, who won Akbar's trust with his nature... but how many of us know that Birbal himself was a very good soldier who fought few wars for Akbar and died in a war only??? and so when the name Birbal is heard, all we expect is to see some comedy... which if we don't get, we start questioning abt the character in CVs mind...
frankly i felt, his entry and scene at DEK was very good, but the time was wrong... they should have shown it before they started Ruku taking Jo to Hakima... and even Jo and Ruku enjoying Birbal's mockery of The Shehenshah, who gives in to his wives' whims just like a common man...and then they should have shown nok-jhok btw AkDha over it... the impact would have been better...anyway, i m looking forward to this character and how they shape it in future tracks... hope he too is not just one more filler like Maan and TM, who r wasted in the show...
abt Jalal and Jo-Ruku, in my next post...
