Thanks Surochita for such lavish praise and your wonderful words. You are right JA deserves to have a grand farewell from us fans. We have got some amazing memories of JA golden period.
Oh My My What a pleasant surprise!! A long post by you after ages.. Thank you Maddy for making it... I really missed your detailed thread so much.. This is overwhelming.. All the members who had left the forum is again back just to give their beloved show a grand farewell.. I think more than TRP Jodha Akbar's success lies in the fact that even with so much ups and downs it's fans never sieged to love their beloved show... And your writing it never really fails to impress me... Your thread and Abhay's thread has made me emotional and nostalgic... I wish I could turn back time... Thank you So much for bringing back all these memories and making the last few days of Jodha AKbar so memorable...
I want to write down so many things but aaj Shabd Kam par rahe.. Phir bhi I will try to write something... Before going into the scenes I would like say that Jodha Akbar was my journey as well... A journey full of ups and downs... For these two years JA became a part my life, There Were times when the show touched my very soul and there were times I was frustrated, there were times when I watche. Even all the repeats of the show and then there was a time I had stopped watching the show for a very long time... But all in all this is a journey I will always cherish
You have said it just perfectly, esp love the lines in bold. JA really became part of our lives. Literally spent hours, every free moment on forum discussing every detail of it.
What will I say about the show Jodha Akbar it was a show which had perfect blend of everything in it it's initial days starting from wonderful storyline to storyline to Perfect Scripting, dialogues and perfect screenplay and above all and Excellent group of Actors especially Rajat Tokas And Paridhi Sharma... These two are Gem...
There are certain aspects of the show which actually made it a Magnum Opus in every sense... It had the same age old story of the hero and heroine hating eachother but eventually falls head over heels in love with eachother... It had nothing new to offer other than the historical backdrop and of course the legendary love story of the great Mughal Emperor Jalal-Ud-Din Muhammad Akbar and His Hindu Wife Mariam Uz Zamani... But the way it was presented made the difference... Till SR everything that was shown was nothing less than a lyrical ballad...where even the feeling of hatred had sweetness in it...
Like I said before the Feeling of Ghrina, Hate or Nafrat was given a touch of sweetness, sweetness of care, support and admiration... For example After Jodha's mother refused to take her back to Amer after Holi.. Jodha went missing from the Palace and Jalal himself went out to search her and when he saw her jumping into the water without a second thought he himself jumped into the water and saved her... Or after the tiger attack when Jodha did everything possible to save her husbands life... Even during those days of hatred they stood by eachother and become eachothers support.. Remember how Jalal stood by Jodha and was even ready to renounce his throne just because he didn't want His wife to change her religion or when In Ratanpur Qilla track Jodha opposed her own family member when they said Jalal should give away his throne, even though she knew this may break Her sisters marriage.. And how can we ever forget Jalal counting and praising all the Hunars of Jodha and even though she shielded her admiration but still praised his courage and valor... Maybe They were able to admire, support and cared for eachother even in those days of Passionate hate only because as Jodha had once said Love or Hatred bothave the feelings comes from heart...
The story of Jodha AKbar had acceptance even in denial or rejection... Even though they didn't truly accepted eachother as Man and Wife but they accepted eachother's family as their own... Jodha respecting, loving and obeying Himada Bano, or playing n spending time with Rahim or Forgiving Bakshi Bano for framing her in fake pregnancy track showed how she accepted his family... Jalal arranging Sukanya's Marriage or taking his entire family to Amer fo. The wedding or when he gifted his beloved Ratanpur Qilla to His Wife's sister showed his acceptance of her family... Not only family but they accepted their religion and culture as well... Jodha accompanying Jalal To Ajmer sharik or Jalal's fulfilling Jodha's oath by bending down In Kali Maa's feet showed how they accepted eachother's religion... Even when they realised their love for eachother they denied to acknowledge it infront of eachother...
There were times in the show when Silence spoke more loudly than words... The Angoori Baagh scene after Jodha revived from Benazir Poison did not have a single dialogue but it still remains I guess everyones favourite... Jalal Jodha did not speak with eachother but still they communicated... Not a single syllable was utterd but still their heart heard everything that was unsaid... Or the night of Shab-E-Kadar in the Atifa track when Jalal sees Jodha from the window sitting and praying with Hamida Bano and Salima was also a scene where Jodha Jalal communicated through eyes... Where on one hand Jodha had questions, hurt, pain and love in her eyes and on the other hand Jalal's eye were pleading Jodha to understand his helplessness and his love for hers... Such a poignant moment it was...
OMG! what a way you have described those two scenes. I just went into flashback mode to those two episodes. That entire vishpaan week was magical. Before the angoori baug night in Jodha's hojara Jalal and Jodha's conversation - Jalal asking why Jodha hated Ben and Jodha replying kaise vastra pehanti thi wo, wo bhi kisi aur ke pati ke samne, aap humare liye itna bhi nahi kar sakte aap humare pati hai na
That poignant moment after the ugly scene in Jodha's hojara in Atifa track - the Jodha going into Jalal's hojara to tell about the arrangements - without once meeting his eyes and Jalal pleading with his eyes.
The show had simplicity as well as Magnanimity... On Jodha Jodha's birthday Jalal gave her a Morpank. And Kanaha's Bansuri to the world these gifts were rather simple and yes they were simply but the thought behind gifting it was so magnanimous And only royal couple knew the importance of the gift... Similarly in Jalal's birthday also Jodha gifted Him A simple dress of a common man but what he got by wearing it was priceless... That blessings of Awam was Magnanimous, that realisation of a King's duty was magnanimous...
Another Poignant moment was when Hindu Subjects goes to DEK and gifts their Emperor Quaran-E-Pak to show their gratitude towards the king who has put all the religion in the same pedestal and removed Tirth Kar...then everyone all Muslims as the Hindus prayed together to that one God but in their respective manner.. This is my favourite scene of Jodha AKbar.. This scene still gives me goosebumps. .. I was transported back to Akbar's court where in reality this might have been a regular scene... This scene showed how untied Akbar's subjects were.. This scene made me proud of the glorious pas past our cocountry...this scene did not only gave us a glimpse of Akbar's greatness but also showed the greatness of the common people of that Era... It was so ethereal...
I have always believed that Beauty Lies In Simplicity.. And this phrase was proved right in one of the most important episode of Jodha AKbar... The Episode /Scene where Jalal was honoured by the name of Akbar by his Hindu Subjects... I am so glad that the creatives of the show for making that scene so simple... The reasons which Jalal gave To those two Maulvies were so inspiring and real... The way that old man approached Jalal with the scroll where Akbar was written and that also in both Hindi and Parsi and the humility with which Jalal accepted the name with a promise of continuing to think about the welfare of his Subjects gave a different meaning to this scene... Woww take a bow creatives for writing this scene...
There are many beautiful scenes in the show but these are some of the beautiful and different aspects which according to me made the show different and beautiful...
Surochita, you are making me nostalgic remembering the scenes, it is like I am again watching them thru your eyes. 👏👏
The post can't be ended without praising the Super talented Rajat Tokas And Paridhi Sharma... But I don't think it will be fair with them if I try to confine their talents in words... No word of appreciation can justify their talents... I just want to wish them all the best for their future...
Before Ending I would Like To share few lines that I have written.
Bankar Aye The Jo Ghar Main Maheman
Banchuke Hai Aaj Woh Sab Ke Liye Mohabbat Ki Pehchan
Bhari Thi Jinhone Khushiyon Se Humara Angan
Aaj Vida Le Rahe Hai Humse Churake Apna Daman...
Thi Har Din Holi, Aur Har Raat Diwali Si
Jab Gunjte The Unke Swar Ban Ke Qawali Si..
Milte The Unse Har Shyam Bhool Kar Hai Sab
Ab Kaise Kategi Shab , Maan Main Yeh Hulchul Hai Ajab..
Larte Jhagarte Bane Woh Humari Duniya
Aur Pyaar Karte Karte Di Hume Dheero Khushiyan...
The Hum Bhi Unke Har Sukh Dukh Ke Saathi
Jaise Ki Ho Saya Jo Har Mod Pe Saath Hai Nibhati..
Niswarth Prem Kaise Karte Hai Duniya Ko Unhone Hai Sikhaya,
Lekar Saath Kaise Chalna Hai Har Dharam Ko Jahan Ko Hai Yeh Bataya..
Phailate The Woh Har Jagha PARIJAT Ki Khusboo
Ate The Saath Jab Bhi Woh Hone Humse Rubaroo..
Na Jane Jude Kaise Unse Maan Ke Naaten
Ab Toh Bas Rahe Jayengi Tanha Yeh Chandni Raaten..
Aye The Jo Humse Milne Banke Jodha Akbar
Ja Rahe Hai Aaj Woh Leke Dill Ka Har Sabar...
Bichad Ne Ki Is Ghadi Main Har Ankh Hai Nam,
Par Majbooran Age Bhi Barna Hoga Bhool Kar Yeh Gham...
Kahete Hai Jane Wala Kabhi Laut Kar Nehi Ata,
Punar Milan Ki Aas Phir Bhi Maan Se Na Jane Kiyun Nehi Jata..
Rakhenge Tumhe Dill Main Banake Yaad Sada
Na Chodenge Tumhara Saath Kabhi Yeh Hai Humara Vada...
Ending the post with a hope, Hope of...
