I saw the last episode - just for old time sakes
It was like the abul mali mirchi war episodes
Ak was a puppet and Jo the superman and all praises to Jo
And I was shocked of coin issued in jodha name
It was nur jahan who had coins in her name issued by jehangir
No other queen of that era or even today as I know of had coins in her name except Queen of England and a few other Queens
In india atleast none other than Nur Jahan
In Rome almost all queens, daughters and moms of emperors had coins issue from Cleopatra etc
Its such a interesting study - Roman emperors were mama's boys just like Mughal emperor's and so almost all mothers had coins issued by their doting emperor sons, some wives also got that privilege and daughters and sisters too. And some emperors doted on their grandmothers and had coins on them too.
So a common trait of emperors in Rome and Mughals - majority were mama's boys, few were even grandmama's boys(like Jehangir in Mughals, Caligula in Rome) many were loyal hubby's(need I say who Jehangir/ Shah Jahan) and quiet a few doting brothers having issued coins on their sisters(like Akbar and Babar) and many were doting fathers having issued coins on their daughters(like a Shah Jahan) and some issued them on the sons too. So many common traits here.

I mean heights of insulting a great emperor for a fictitious lady named jodha ... i am sorry to say this !!! but what a disappointing end ...

I was thinking they will highlight Akbar ATLEAST now ... but again ...i kind of overestimated the cv's & their obsession to Jodha !!!

can anybody enlighten me about the coin issuing of jodha ?? did it really happen ?? & jalal entering the palace with jodha & like everytime all were singing praises of jodha ... including jalal for saving him & his empire ... i mean this was the height of crossing all the limit !!!

i am extremely angry & highly disappointed !!!

@ bold: Well, if Jodha is fictitious as per your statement what does it matter if coins were issued or not in her name?😉

Vara - Well said indeed. It became a Jodha bhajan beyond even their own limits. Akbar got lost around the time he abolished pilgrimage tax - Post that, all he has been doing is loitering around her hojra, listening her songs, massaging her legs/hands, getting into crazy wars/ situations and wait for his devi ma to rescue him, his kingdom and praja.
I got such a distaste of the JODHA Character and the concluding episodes, I HAVE TO say even the initial episodes magic has been robbed off for me.
When I rediscovered Akbar after Schoolbooks through this serial, I read great things about him by different historians. I am not done yet.
EK Kapoor massacred one of mightiest emperors. It was a cheap treatment from her PH for the great man and emperor.

COMPLETELY AGREE WITH YOU VARSHA



IT WAS A HORRIBLE END. IN FACT I COULD NOT EVEN WATCH THE LAST TWO EPIS, I WAS SO MAD


THE WORST THING WAS JALAL MASSAGING JO'S FEET 😡😡 ITS BAD ENOUGH THAT HE WAS MADE INTO A TOTAL MAJNU TOWARDS THE END, BUT FEET PRESSING 😡


I MEAN REALLY????



I HAVE NO WORDS TO DESCRIBE THE ANGER AND DISGUST THAT JA LEFT ME WITH AFTER THE FINAL EPISODE



EVEN THE FLASHBACK WAS A HALF BAKED EFFORT

ABOUT THE JODHA NAMA

My dearest young (and young at heart) ladies,

What is the point in getting worked up about all this? The fact is that Ekta Kapoor always intended to make, and what she produced, was a Jodha Nama.

But if it had been named so, there would have been no viewers, for what she was intending to piggyback on was the popularity of Ashutosh Gowarikar's Jodhaa Akbar. So she could not avoid having poor Jalal/Akbar around, but she did her best to reduce him to a nonentity. And succeeded beyond her wildest dreams and our worst nightmares.

That is all. Let us forget about all the episodes after, say, No. 200, and get on with the re-viewing and the reviewing of the old episodes.

Yes, as suggested here, we should have a separate thread for the discussions on the new episodes, in the Zee Anmol forum.


I shall continue here - promise, cross my heart! - with my walks down memory lane, picking up from No. 60 over the weekend.

I have had a bad time of it recently, with my hitherto sound knee acting up all of a sudden, which scared me stiff. I am trying to set it right and hoping very hard that it is not going to be a repeat of November last, when the right knee suddenly collapsed. Keep your fingers crossed for me, please!

Affectionately,

Shyamala/Aunty/Akka/Di

Keeping my fingers crossed for the health of your knees Shyamala

As for viewing old episodes, i am not even sure I want to do that yet. I feel I may need a break from Jodha Akbar and all the emotions it brings with it. Besides I am not sure viewers in the US get Zee Anmol.
However i will come back to read your comments which are always a delight. Take care

Shayamala Di/Ghalib mirza
Please continue posting ur links here. I am eagerly awaiting the critiques of episodes that I missed reading when the old episodes were running. I still watch them every chance I can get on You Tube (thankfully US viewers can now watch full episodes at least the old one's).
If you post it on Zee Anmol please send me the links. I am not familiar with Zee Anmol.
I feel better reading all musings here that I was not off my rockers to find out how I could watch old episodes of JA and scoured the net high and low to get to them.
I am a history buff too and enjoyed Abhay's blog. After The French and Russian revolutions Akbar is my favorite character to read about.
I have thoroughly enjoyed all conversations and try to express my admiration when I can.
Abhaya
