First thing first, I will admit, I was not too impressed with today's episode. I had a feeling Jalal- Jodha are going in circles and not moving anywhere, while 10 MU are being set up. Will you give me two minutes to vent about two things I did not like: 😕
- The soul talk was Jodha's own near death experience / dream; Jalal does not know about it and hence, he never told her that "hum aapse mohabhat karte hain." Did I interpret this wrong? So, they are in what stage of love now?
- Jalal is back to his old antics of riling up Ruqs by saying he enjoyed playing with Jodha more; this reminds me of the Jalal before going to Amer for Sukanya's wedding; please no back-tracking. I hope he is not mad at Jodha for asking him to free Sharif.
Okay, thank you for letting me vent. Phew, I feel better.😊
No matter what, this love story is going to go at epic slow pace.I know I will need this Take 5 post to keep me positive in the near future with Sujamal coming to visit his dear behna. My only hope here is that Maan Singh is in Agra and can clear the confusion without Jodha going to Amer. 😊
So, despite the damper to my spirits, I am going to now cheer up with my top 5 positives from the show:
(1) The much awaited Akdha scene, where Jalal overhears Jodha talking about his "komal" heart and him holding her hand in his dream. He is obviously thrilled.I loved the casualness their relationship is taking where without hesitance he sets off to dry her hair. I wish Jodha had been more forthcoming about her feelings and not told him she is not ready to share ... However, I loved two things: (i) How Jodha's actions contradicted her words when he hurt himself and (ii) how Jalal gave it back to her that she should remember her dreams, foreshadowing that she will be ready to share her dreams soon enough (as we are hoping too!) 😉
(2) The chess game: I liked the chess game as they played it in the famous khel kaksh and shows progression in how much Jodha now shows her haq to be with Jalal. There was a time when Jalal called her to the khel kaksh and Jodha refused saying she did not want to take Ruq's haq / jagah. Now she knows he is waiting for Ruqs but still agrees to play! There are signs of progress! I wonder what stage of love we can call it ... 😆
(3) The after math of the chess game: I liked a few specific points of how the chess match ended which I want to point out separately. It looks like Jodha lost on purpose- and it reminded me of the smart Jodha during Sukanya's wedding who bent down her head and apologized to try to convince Jalal to make sure the wedding goes through during the fort issue. I wish it was for a more purposeful thing then freeing Sharif but oh well. The second point was when Jalal hinted at what she could give a Shehenshah their expressions made it clear they were both thinking about a waaris / MUZ- but again (like yesterday) bechara Jalal's hopes were dashed when Jodha switched the topic to BB-SD. I hope they show his reaction in flashback and I definitely hope he does not go and vent to Ruqs.
(4) Sujamal's entry: I am happy to see the guy for sure- he was always a good (looking) actor. On one hand, I am happy that I was right in that he has to do with the Mewar uprising. On the other hand, I am disappointed why he wants to meet Jodha- obviously she is happy at home saving her husband's life. But, it is always nice to see a strong character back. And perhaps we can hope for some good war scenes! Also, there are more people that know Sujamal in Agra such as MAan Singh that I think that any misunderstanding will be resolved wuickly. Until the montage shows signs of separation, I will believe this to be true.
(5) Precap: Before you question, if I am going crazy- which I may be, I liked the precap for two reasons:
- Jodha has a new lehenga and jewelry and she is looking gorgeous- may be a gift for being the no. 1 show for a week
- Ruqs plan to put Jodha down is proving her to be a bad in charge for the harem- that was so much better than doing something to hurt BB
Another positive, was the scene shooting of Jodha reading the story to Rahim. That will happen likely in 1-2 weeks as she is wearing the same orange dress she was wearing yesterday- so happy days are here for a few more weeks. 😊
So, what did you like about the episode today?
