Again I ask, aaj ka episode ko kya naam doon? Every day the CVs keep showing the depth of Jalal's guilt and hurt ... While skirting the surface of Jodha's hurt. Please, CVs, give Jodha and her emotions more screen space ... She may not have been expressive in real life ... But a tv serial heroine requires dialogues and self-talks to show her feelings. If you can make enough creative interpretations to show a Queen last week and an Emperor today look helpless and receive food from others (which I am not too happy about 😭)... You can show Jodha being more expressive.

There my daily preamble is done, so onto my take 5 and it wasn't easy once I saw my Jalal crying:

(1) Jalal's guilt and hurt and crying: I don't like to watch these scenes but I loved how Rajat lived the hurt he has given Jodha and feels her hurt as well. As Jalal, the humility and empathy is simply amazing. But, I kept feeling like saying, "Get up Jalal, you can't fall like this." Just because Jalal's tears got the show to no. 1 one time, the CVs can't use this trick again and again.

Juxtapose that with the one second shot of tears with Jodha Begum and you will realize the unfairness of the CVs. I know she is hurt and feeling for Jalal ... It is about time you show it. Jodha's tears will get your TRPs too ... Too much of any one thing is never good.

(2) Random musings on Jalal's heart: If there is one thing I again realized in this scene between the poor Man and Jalal, everyone recognizes the Shehenshah has a dil ... But, I actually liked the two flashbacks in this scene for two very different reasons:

- The coverup of the century: When Jalal assures Ruqs he does not have a heart before the Amer trip ... After slyly admitting he was beginning to love Jodha Begum 😳

Raksha, there you mentioned the scene and today it came as a flashback. Please think of other nice scenes on our behalf. 😉

- The other lost Jodha-Jalal scene: Again, the CVs manage to surprise us with Jodha-Jalal scenes that they never showed us before. What else has happened between Jodha and Jalal? 😆This one was a bit random ... I think only to show that it was Jodha's sikka that saved Jalal's life.

In any case, it was sweet of Jodha to give him a coin to save his life ... I wonder what prompted her to do so? But, shouldn't she have given the coin to herself .., She herself has proclaimed he has had a "dil" so many times and then there is the Jodha now who tells him to find his lost heart. 😆

CVs, I want Jodha to decide one last time whether Jalal has a dil or not! No more contradictory dialogues!

Jalal's dishoom dishoom with Abul Mali and his men ... I liked two things in this scene which I will cheat and call out separately:

(3) Return of Jalal's josh as a warrior: Liked three things in this section
- Even while lost in Jodha's thought, his instincts as a warrior were alive as he noticed the person coming behind him ...
- He not only asked for God's duaa but also was sharp enough to get a plan to geg a sword in his hand
- As always, such a charm to see Jalal with the sword ... I must say I prefer it to the wooden stick

(4) Return of Jalal's josh of dialogues: Loved two of his punch dialogues ... It was of "seeti-maar" quality
- To the first guy who attacked him from behind: You could not stab me because you tried from behind ... Baba Khan's taleem and the duaa of the awaam are with me 👏
- To the second guy who tried to attack his heart: Loved how he said that now I have found my heart but it is not with me ... And I will not let anything happen to me for that person I love. 👏

This second dialogue rang of a new confidence that he would indeed get his heart / Jodha Begum back ... And I loved this confidence. 👏

And what was the raaz of the return of this Josh: The half of the poor guy's food ... It seemed to have the effect of Popeye's spinach ... Just think of the Before scene (him crouched in the tree crying) and the after (this awesome fight) 😆

(5) Jodha's care and concern: So, if they spent 90% of the time focused on Jalal's trials and tribulations, they gave a few minutes on Jodha's hurt and concern. I liked Jodha's concern as the necklace broke and immediately worried about Jalal's safety ... I also liked her insistence on fixing the necklace herself.

However, I want to see more from Jodha. She was always concerned for Jalal's life ... We saw that in the Mohan / tiger track even when she didn't love him. So, please, CVs, let Jodha move on and show more dimensions of her love then lep and concern for his life!

Funny moment of the day:

- When Abul Mali landed with his back to Jalal, I can't belive Jalal said, "I don't know who you are but I will find out soon." Really Jalal, you couldn't recognize the hair? 😆

Special moment of the day:

- When Abul Mali tried to break Jalal's spirit and told him that the aurat he ran after did not even turn back to look at him ... I finally found an opportunity to defend Jodha after such a long time! She did turn back and look at him... She even asked forgiveness she could not forgive him yet ... But she will forgive him for sure. 😉

Prediction of the century:

Jalal strategically put the sikka in his sash (Raksha, what was that name again? 😉 )... I am sure that will save his life ... It is extremely thick! 😊

Hope this post got a smile to your face ... If so, please drop a word on your thoughts on the episode.

So the only worthwhile part for today was TE's fight and the way he manages to disarm the opposition.😉😆 This was definitely the old TE in action - chalo itna bhi devdas nahin bana hai abhi 😆


As for Kunwari Jodha - aaj ka gaana unke liye -
O re piya haye.. O re piya haye..

Udne laga kyon man baawla re, Aaya kahan se yeh hosla re
O re piya haye.. O re piya haye..

Tanabana tanabana bunti hawaa haaye bunti hawa
Boondein bhi to aaye nahi baaz yahan
Sagish mein shaamil sara jahan hai
Har zare zare ki yeh iltiza hai

O re Piya O re Piya haye..

Nange pairo pe angaro, chalti rahi haaye chalti rahi
Lagta hai ke gairo mein, Palti rahi haaye
le chal wahan jo, Mulk tera hai
Jahil zamana, dushman mera hai, haaye

O re piya haye..

Divi,

You know somethings are unintentionally funny. Today's episode was one of those. It was not as bad as I had feared, but, it was funny just the same.

The episode brought many fond memories of childhood. Here's the list,

Energy drink - When he said, hamare paas hai Bairam Khan ki taleem, logon ki dua, I was reminded of those powdered drinks that were supposed to be mixed with hot milk that promised height and wisdom. I am tall and smart, because I drink X, jisme hai, protein, minerals, vitamins lol.

Vikram aur betal - Rather betaals. Jallu thought it was one betaal that had jumped off, but, lo,there were so many. All on trees. Abul mali is a resourceful man, inspite of his limited resources, all his henchmen have uniform. Impressive.

Drawing classes - I had to smuggle an old toothbrush from the house for spray-painting session. Why this you ask? Just look at Abul Mali's beard. No way that's natural. Of course it's spray-painting.

Craft classes - I used to hate this. Jodha's jewelry making reminded me of them.

Pocket money - We used to get some money from grandmothers when we visited their houses during vacations. See even our Jallu got pocket-money, or rather cummerbandh-money from Jodha.

Today, we got to know of another one of Jodha Beghum's hunars. She makes jewelry.

Looks like Shahenshah's dil would have earned a wanted poster, with the coin being the prize.

I was again happy with Amerwasis and their dignity, their scenes and Jodha's were well written and executed.

Jallu also suffers from amnesia. How else do you explain his disability to recognize choir factory?

That dua trick was neat. But, sadly, juvenile execution.

A few soldiers already had blood on their necks before their necks were slashed.

So yes, today's episode was a badly directed one, especially the Jalaal's scenes. Looks like your worst fears of Jodha's SWs writing Jalaal's scenes has come true.

I was laughing the entire episode, and that does not happen every day.

When that baandhi was leading loony Sheny away, I was like, yes, yes, take her and lock her in dungeons. Needless to say, I find her annoying.

Great post! 👍🏼

I honestly only had the heart to watch Jalal's fight scene and dear lord did I scream. I haven't felt this happy about the episodes for quite some time now.

I really loved how he said that he wants dua then he began to pray, it was so similar to the first fight scene with the Ameri's where he stacked them up taller than Everest. And also, any scene which has "Allah hu" playing is immediately my favourite 😆 there's something really majestic and beautiful about it and Jalal's faith while fighting. I went back and watched the first fight and there were a lot of similarities, I feel like the CVs and director definitely had that in mind for this scene. The one thing that stood out to me (weirdly) was how Jalal looked left and right before he attacked 😆

But anyway, he felt like the old Jalal again and frankly right now I'm really really happy with that so I'll ignore everything else for a while 😃

Since I didn't watch any other scene, I'm not sure about any improvement with Jo and her emotions being conveyed, but it seems like it has bettered a notch?? Or am I getting the wrong impression? 😆

And Abul Mali, what can I say! His superman jump had me on the floor 🤣

And you're right about Jalal's dialogues, I would have definitely whistled had I not been afraid of waking everyone up 😆

The fight scene and flashback was the only worth watching scenes.
Watching Jalal take food was :(
Why is Dadisa proud of Bharmal? He was not the one to find Jodha😡. Seriously, Jalal doesn't get any credit for anything he does. Always Jodha takes it, this time her Father.
Jodha- No comments. I don't think, its worth it.

Dear Divya, hats off to you that you can find 5 positives even now. I liked Jalal's fight today and I felt that his tedapan was back when he acted as if he is doing Duwa and got back to fight. I liked it that he was not completely lost in Jodha and could fight back. About Jalal not recognizing Abu Mali's hair, even I felt exactly the same when I saw that scene. That was too funny 😃.

Nice post Divya as usual.

The cvs are dragging things like anything, tomorrow may be they'll show that Mainawati had a ring to go with that necklace but before she can give it to Jodha, she finds that its broken as Bharmal sat on it and Jodha will take the whole episode to fix it.


On the other hand Jalal and Abul Baal-i will take a time out as Abul will leave to conditioner his hair.


Anyways, I liked how Jo was concern about him and was sad.
And about Ja...I liked the fighting scene, also the flashback one...Jo got a new dress...Yay😛

Hi divya,
Indeed the dialogue was seetimaar and jallu like bollywood hero
Btw sikka nahi amitabh bachchan ka billa no 786 ho gaya😆
Loved war scenes...would love to see them a lot more...
Yes jodhas character delineation is very poor I must say..
Instead of doing time wasters for shenoo some shehenshah missing talks needed.
Btw we 😉spent two hundred searching jalals dil now dont want to spend other two hundred seeking jodhas dil.
Now the king wounded I don't like at all...
First they show his dumbness to walk alone then his heroic capacity to slain enemy...remember it is the land of rajnikanth our Thailava...😉
aargh so he lands at Amer when jodha goes to flow diyas at bawri..by whom and how doesnt matter..
One thing else I beg not to jump to a hurried consummation...let it go slow.
Abul Mali. ...lesser said the better..least endowed actor so the character will fizzle for sure thts why they have not worked on him.
Want to see more pining from jodha..
And more tears till we drown..
