Kya Socha tha aur Kya ho Gaya! A weekend of guessing on Ben's dresses, whether the precap/promo was a dream or not, whether Jodha would be charged with murder, and the list goes on! The CVs are definitely on top of their game - if not in the best track in the world but at least keeping us on our toes.
While I was one of the folks who had liked the precap on Friday, I was equally worried on its implications for Jodha if she murdered Ben. Hence, I actually liked the episode today. While the episode was positive enough, I still thought I would have fun with my positives from the episode today just to cheer up the folks who wanted Ben dead today 😊
1. The light at the end of the tunnel shines bright and clear. Today, there were many signs of the end of the Ben track and a lot of mixed spoilers and signals we received cleared up. A few observations below:
- I know where Ben is going to wear her two dresses: 1 for the mehndi and 1 for the Nikah day (it looks like not only the CVs are willing to give Ben more dresses but a mehndi ceremony- no wonder Shivani ran away 😉) phew- so many guesses yesterday
- With the precap, looks like Salima will finally don the daasi garb we saw to follow Ben
- A very interesting piece of foreshadowing today: After the Jodha- Ben confrontation, after Jodha leaves, Ben says if this is my last laugh then I will make sure I bite you last referring to Jodha begum- now I think it is quite clear who will receive the bite
Now that I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, it is funny how the path there does not seem so dark.
2. Jalal's detective skills are recovering. He figured out that Jodha was the one who shot the arrows. I don't know where his detective skills go when it applies to Ben but at least it is intact now.
3. I am so glad the public humiliation of Jodha is now ending and Jalal spoke to her individually on the boat incident and chose not to punish her. Paridhi does such a good job playing a transparent Jodha- she can't even lie properly. However, I think Jalal knows her heart is in the right place or is learning that. Or does Jalal finally know Ben's truth as many of us had hoped?
4. The distinctions between the boat ride between Jodha and Jalal and Ben and Jalal. I know quite a few people were upset that a lot of classic scenes between Jodha and Jalal are repeated between him and Ben. However, I was very happy between the distinctions between today's scene and the prior classic. Here are a few differences I found:
- Jalal had stared at Jodha the whole time; here he hardly gave Ben any eye contact. Not even a smile when he held his hand to support her.
- Even Jodha and Jalal had been interrupted by arrows, but the way Jalal emoted concern for Jodha was far more sincere then with Ben- he said many more words of reassurance to Jodha.
I would encourage folks to watch that boat scene between Jodha and Jalal to note the differences- if not for anything else but as a reason to watch an Akdha scene if you ever needed a reason.
5. The lep love story: one can write a book on the role of lep in the love story of Jodha and Jalal. 😉 As cliched as it was, loved the Akdha interaction today. Jalal's sentence that you give the hurt, and you put the lep is a repeated theme that he has mentioned. The way Rajat emoted that dialogue it seemed so deep: for Jalal, Jodha is the one who torments him but is also the one whose company gives him solace.
Barely missed the list: another positive for Ruqaiyya's character recovering- she actually showed care for Jalal's safety today; she actually cares about something other than herself and her Audra. Imagine that!
Anyway, as the light at the end of the tunnel is now clear, the path to get there does not seem bad. I already saw the beautiful scene of Ben dead today! I can wait for a few more episodes to see it happen in reality.
Share your thoughts from the episode! Hopefully you found things to enjoy as I did.
