Thanks for the write up. I have always enjoyed reading your views.
Our serial is infected by a virus. Everyone knows how a virus works, it infects a cell, takes over it's DNA machinery and then uses it to destroy other cells.
Because of some hidden reasons that we cannot identify, the same is happening here. If someone hated the story of Jodha Akbar, and got control of the serial, how would they go about destroying it.
Stage 1- Destroy Akbar. That stage is well underway, from unwarranted blame at Jodha,to Chittor to spineless attitude with Ruqs. And all this after having been made Akbar, a mockery of the soul talks.
Stage 2- Destroy the image of Jodha as a strong, resourceful woman. Show her as weak and subservient, remove all the fire and spirit from her personality
Stage 3- Destroy everything epic about the romance. Show such crass scenes that viewers will wonder if there ever was any romance.
Only then you can hope that some of the magic of the movie Jodha Akbar has been undone. Also hope that these last scenes of the serial override the romantic images of the beginning of the serial.
For anyone who appreciates the legend of Jodha Akbar, and anyone who respects these historical characters, the time to quit is right now. From now on everything shown will be blot to their memory. I myself am waiting for the MUZ scene, that is the last of it.
