Dear forum friends ... Thanks so much for all the debates on the precious soul talk yesterday, they helped me get a lot of clarity on the soul talk among other things and really cheered me up. I did't get to respond to each of the posts but I did post an updated view of the episode, soul talk, and future tracks based on your perspectives and debates which I would love for you to visit: http://www.india-forums.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3926282&TPN=15. Thanks once again for all the thought you put in 😊
Okay moving along to todays's episode. I like it a lot .. Perhaps, life is over expectations- I expected a lot yesterday and was disappointed. Today, I went with an open mind and was pleased.
So, here is my take of top 5 things in today's episode:
(1) Ruqaiyya anger management 101: If there was one thing that always surprised me is how Jalal deals with Ruqs. He first says something that incites her, then gauges her reaction, and then cools her right down. He has done this multiple times. I think he is still trying to figure out why Jodha Begum bothers her so much specifically. I always get fooled by how Jalal starts with Ruqs- I better smarten up quickly or what is the difference between me and Audha begum.😉
(2) The gift giving scenes had multiple comparisons between Ruqs and Jodha. Now if the CVs have decided to show Ruqs in a bad light, I might as will enjoy it. There was the more high-level comparison in the choice of gifts with Ruqaiyya being more materialistic and copying Jodha with the palna. However, the bigger distinction was how they gave the gifts. Ruqs asserted she was giving the gift along with Jalal - I don't even know if Jalal knew what the gift was. Jodha openly stated that she was giving the gift with the Shehenshah. However, Jodha gave Jalal the right to present the gift as he was higher than her. I like this respectfulness of Jodha and it shows how she always wanted it to be a gift from Jalal and show Jalal in a good light. 😊
Two other little points I liked about the scene: Jalal coming and standing next to Jodha (she is like a magnet for him) and her firm argument on freeing Sharif citing Adham Khan which would shut both Ruqs and MA (obviously if he was stupid once, he can do it again without objection)
Two parts of the flashback scene that I will site separately as they were distinct:
(3) Jodha's description of a pati-patni relation: yes it could sound like a baashan; however, I think it showed what she expected for her own pati- to support her in sukh and dukh. And Jalal was taking it in like a good student. I hope he follows this advice when the next MU looms over them. I hope this is what it was foreshadowing.
(4) Jodha's point that she can forgive Sharif as he hurt me and not you. How romantic was that! That is all I can say. I love how Jodha's voice trembled at the moment. What a sixer it was! 👏
(5) Ok this is a super minor point but I really think Maham Anga is the new Shaguni Bai. After making some great predictions on the Jodha-Jalal love story, she made a point how she may not be Wazir for long- who knows! I hope she is 100% right and her end is near. 😆
Honorable mention: We always wanted to see Jalal jealous and I loved how he didn't like Jodha praising Sharif for helping her. I think it was because it reminds me about how he didn't believe Jodha then while Sharif was helping her. I also like how he yelled at her for meeting a prisoner - but this again foreshadows that he can never punish Jodha. Let's see what Sharif does- I hope he keeps praising Jodha making Jalal all upset and choosing to praise her more.
If you were concerned why there was no precap, just watch yesterday's precap as it didn't happen today unless my eyes chose to ignore the scene. They probably knew we would scream if they showed the same precap again. If I am going to hit someone some day, it is the perhaps the editor of the precaps. We have had a lot of heart burn over precaps lately.
Have a great weekend guys. In addition, please share your thoughts on today's episode!
