Thanks Abhay for continuing to keep the faith. I missed the episode today so I will write instead on the TRP.

The ratings were disheartening but not totally surprising. If anything Ekta's foolish experiment has shown that it is easy to destroy but very difficult to mend. For evidence of that one does not need to look even beyond this forum, I can recall numerous members who used to dissect every episode in minute detail, and now they are nowhere to be seen. This despite the fact that the focus has returned back on Jodha Akbar. Many people have been so disappointed by the leap that they are not willing to give the serial a second chance.

I don't know for how long the serial can float with bad ratings, but for fans of Jodha Akbar it may be blessing for a while, because in their desire to woo back viewers, Ekta and the CV's will show a lot of stuff that the viewers want.

In my opinion the real ratings struggle will begin now, a hero of the serial Akbar behaving like a crass villain by challenging God was not something that was going to endear to viewers, but now that things are coming back to normal, let us see how the ratings game plays out.

but today's episode i felt it is important as ruq can't work like jodha and she has been insulted in a way as when she came to meet jalal he took her to be jodha meaning he is thinking of jodha only when he is alone.It is to show the importance of jodha in his life.I feel tomorrow's episode will be interesting. i didn't like hyder's relatives. they are like witches and their scene is not at all needed. to elevate and glorify Jodha ruq was shown as fool to attract attention of jalal she wanted to go with jalal in commoner dress just to see jodha not to join her in service.l. even hoshiyar said the same to ruq that she can't do work like jo. in the precap to save jalal's identity from awaam jo might have acted like that so that people will not identify him

Viewers will come back slowly thru word of mouth. Recovery of TRPs will be slow - like u said, fixing things takes time. :)

I actually liked Akbar being shown to question God. I didn't like the goody-goody avatar of Jalal earlier so much. This Akbar is shown to question like a normal human being why he is being made to suffer in spite of having been so devout all his life.

I think this questioning is essential for the growth of any human being instead of blind faith. A faith that is tested and has proved itself is inevitably stronger. And Akbar was known to question religions and how to attain God etc. So I am really glad Ekta chose this track as the comeback track for JA.

Btw Akbar is only questioning God; he is not hating Him. He is disillusioned but not become a disbeliever yet. Like I said yesterday, Jodha knows his heart is in the right place and he will return to the straight path some day. Today, already Akbar had a divine experience with the boy angel in that water scene. As he proceeds further on this journey among his people, he will have more such experiences that will force him to reassess his thinking and get close to God again.

Akbar's heart lives in his masses. He can never be lost as long as he is with them and among them.

This is a long track that will run in the background while other sub-plots run in the foreground. It was interesting that Ruq told Jodha in Wednesday's episode that if Jodha left the palace, then Jalal would follow her. And look, that's what happened in Thursday's episode - Jalal followed Jodha as a commoner. :))

To conclude, I would say - since the focus has returned to JA, the show will slowly regain its position among old viewers. Esp if focus on Ruq and Salim-Anar is reduced. :)
