Kool's Commentary 7 : 18 June PR :Mod note pg130 - Page 5

Kools,

All I can say is that after reading your hilarious take on today's PR, I just might watch it, and that, Kools, is a real compliment to your latest KC. These days, I cannot even stand watching your potato face and his inamorata. Even without that dismaying montage (that Ankita undoubtedly had removed pronto!), they are tough to look at and to digest.

The other one who has let me down badly is Onir. His goody two shoes act makes me want to kick him all the way from Mumbai to Kolkatta. A smooth villain would have been a delight to watch, but this lily livered display makes me sick.

Incidentally, folks. Jodha Akbar promises to be a worthy successor to EK's Mahabharata. After a disclaimer that makes it clear - obviously to avoid rotten eggs being thrown at BT offices by the Rajputs and the admirers of Akbar alike - that the show has nothing to do with history,the opening episode makes the truth of this assertion amply clear.

The scriptwriter seems to be confusing the young Jalal with either Mahmud of Ghazni or Mohammed Ghori., given to ransacking temples for the jewellery and abducting any female within reach. And he obviously thinks that no battle scene can be complete without landmines blowing up all round, though no such stuff was around in the mid-16th century. Plus he seems to be outraged that enemy soldiers are killed on the battlefield.

And Jodha, the daughter of a Rajput king, and a woman who goes on doing an aarti of Ma Kaali in her full gory aspect till it made me dizzy to watch her thali go round and round and round, is shown preaching against violence, and is described as the repository of prem and shanti (I am not sure of this last).

DK as Bairam Khan is not bad, nor is Jalal, but Jodha is a washout and looks like his elder sister.As for her acting, the less said the better.

I do not think I will last with this beyond this first week. As for Ekta, if the Emperor Akbar ever rose from his tomb, he would sever her head with one fell sweep of his shamsheer. And for good reason too!

I shall recover from this appalling production by going back to the DVD of Ashutosh Gowarikar's Jodhaa Akbar.

Shyamala

OMG 🤣🤣

I think we should petition Almighty Lord to take mercy on us and wake up Akbar from his eternal sleep 😆😆. This would be tooo good for mankind in general😆😆

I am not a historian myself, but from what I remember Akbar was a political genius. He inherited a fragmented empire that was constantly engaged in war. He realized early on, that if he wants to be successful, he will have to employ both muscle and love to hold on to an empire, especially with states like Rajputs and other warrior states. So, one of the common practice was beheading of defeated Kings. He stopped that practice. He subdued his opponent, and once the opponents were subdued, he made them his friends, allowing them to rule their state independently to an extent as long as they accepted him as the Emperor of India. This achieved 2 things - it made sure that these states were under him, but he was not directly responsible to rule them - or he had to maintain that arm. Rather his army was free for other exploits. The subordinated Kings also maintained their own arms that he could use, when and if needed. This policy also were helpful to states wish were far from the Capital – so a certain amount of independence had to be given to the rulers, who could be subordinate to him and respect him, but be friendly enough too. It was a mutually beneficial relationship that developed. Akbar was no softie, but brilliant to know how to be a politically successful emperor. The same middle path, he adopted for religion, but after him, the next rulers became increasing intolerant towards Hindus again and the subsequent fall out…

Here is how men are treated by women in EK show...Sex and Men = like a piece of meat thrown at men just to get what they want by women

We will decide on a show and see it from the start . A new start .

shyamala thank u dear and i agree that Onir needs to be rapped but Arjun hollering righteously at him and hitting him was TOO much for me to digest...its high time Arjun is slapped . High time .

Thank god for the BV track anu , its the only interesting thing on TV

PR degrades men . They r shown as brainless sex addicts who praise and praise women and a little sex is then thrown their way . The women then go on to do all nonsense and the men have to give them 'saath'by agreeing to all their rubbish

Akbar was NOT a tyrant . He was one of the most religiously tolerant muslim emperors India had and his era is the golden era of the Mughal Sultaniyat /

Showing that he was a heartless tyrant and Jodha tamed him with sex is extreme Ekta Kapoor nonsense . At least spare history . Akbar could have ANY amount of beautiful women , men in those days need not depend just on their queens and their tantrums or moods for sex . They were allowed to have concubines ...in fact the queens were insecure . But Akbar was a serious minded emperor who had ruled since he was a pre teen ...his life experience gave him that maturity . Ekta shows r obsessed with Kali and sassy women who r projected as the kali spirit ...Bani did Kali aarti in kasam se now Jodha does kaali aarti in Jodha Akbar . See the akkal .
