Hey all! :)
I found that today's episode was a slight drag, I hope I'm not the only one. I felt there was so much more they could have fit into this episode. I was hoping a little more for a 'Friday' episode. :p
The episode was average, and there was nothing much that really happened.
The JA team have not mastered the art of showing 'believable' looking wars yet. :pToday's war was not against the Shah, it was against the King who refused Khannum's hand for his son. I realized that quite late. 😆
Alter-Identity Crisis:
Hamida Bano has taken this anger of hers to a whole new level. She has spoken to the Persian ambassadors without any prior discussion with MEH or the courtiers Akbar has left behind. Instead of solving the matter, or speaking it out with her daughter-in-law,
HB has got this new identity crisis that anything she speaks to her will be as 'MM' to 'MEH'. She no more considers Jodha as a daughter who she can discuss political matters with, and has set off to make this argument of hers as public as possible.
What my main problem continues to be is how a mother can go against the decision of not only her son, but also the Shehenshah. She seems to have forgotten all Political ethics, as she calls upon the ambassadors to stop the war, without any sort of consultation with the Shehenshah or any of the trusted aides he has left behind.
Does she have no trust on her son's decision, does she think that this decision of his is not in good intent?
Charu's posts made me believe that HB could be up to something, but I have lost all hopes at this point of time. According to me HB has failed as Mariyam Makhani today, as she has taken a decision that in the long run would only help fix Khannum's marriage back, nothing else AT ALL. I somehow feel she has failed as a supposrting Mother of Jalal and Jodha, as she has no trust on her son's decisions and has broken all ties with her 'daughter' Jodha, just because she did not listen to her order.
Is her anger with Jodha the result of a hurt ego? Partly YES from me.
BB-TM-MEH:This is a team that I would really like to see in action. There has been some plan that has been made by them, Birbal at the head, so we can be sure that there is some good twist in store for us. I feel like this plan has something to do with what decision Jodha is going to make in the DEK on Monday.
Suddenly the possibilty that MUZ might make people believe that she will convert, seems possible. Whatever MM is doing, it is something that Jodha is going to do to stop the letter from going to the Shah. I hope we see a strong Jodha, who takes her decisions seriously without keeping in mind that MM is her MiL.
Lost cause:Rukaiiya is a lost cause frankly, she seems to be deging towards Bi-Polar symptoms, as her mood swings are going out of hand and Hoshiyaar is the only one there to bear all these antics of hers. She is till behind Jodha, after 20 years. Just if she realized that nothing is going to get Jodha away from Jalal now. I dont even know how that plan of hers makes sense, she will make HB hate Jodha, due to which Jodha will leave the palace. Why should she leave?
They have spooilt her character from an insecure yet Regal Queen, to a desperate lady who is on the verge of Bi-Polarity.
Hoping for a lot on Monday, I hope they don't disappoint with a slow paced episode such as todays, and keep the episode fast and interesting where we see a Victorious Jalal on one side, and a tedha MUZ on the other who has a perfect plan to get everything back into place. :)
Is yesterdays TRP chart right, because according to this Article, (Link), it Yeh Rishta ont op and not Kumkum Bhagya. So is the list in the right order? :)
