Why, oh why, can't there be some logic in the tracks just before the big consummation is scheduled? The CVs have dragged a stupid MU into an insanely stretched story about a jobless King and a tantrum throwing Queen 😕 This is totally unbecoming of what the essence of Jodha and Akbar really are!
Jodha is not meant to act like a spoilt child with her neverending vachans and holier than thou attitude, and Jalal is not meant to be a dimwitted cruel King who manhandles his wife and then traipses about the countryside searching for her randomly! Which Queen gets miffed and takes sanyaas in an ashram? And which King leaves all his duties and his Kingdom to Allah's whim and walks around unprotected? 😕

I get the need to add tracks that provide some friction between the characters to keep a story going. I mean, how boring would it be to keep seeing things all rosy? But the brainless mishandling of this track totally upsets me! CVs, all the experience and wits about you and you come up with a track filled with umpteen loopholes? Is this a joke? Or an insult to the viewer's understanding? All those brains together and you could not even come up with a logical track?

First of all, it is highly absurd that Jalal will ever doubt Jodha after she sacrificed herself for him. And that too so soon! It would have to be a very ehsaan faramosh person who can ignore such a big thing like that, and we all know that Jalal was shown to be very considerate to people around him in the beginning of the show. So, if Jalal is discarding Jodha's sacrifice for the weird reason he gave while accusing her in the oft repeated flashback scene, it shows the lack of organisation in the minds of the CVs regarding the various nuances of their character. They have no grip on the pulse of their character and disregard the important things they highlighted themselves in favour of stretching an already goner situation. Its like saying "we will do whatever we want, with the least effort and the viewers had better adjust". No, we do not want to adjust! You can't take us for granted!

And seriously, Jalal would never have hurt Jodha or pushed her around as if she was a common dasi and not his wife. The initial Jalal might have. But the amount of growth shown in his character cannot be eradicated with one misunderstanding. His love for her would have forced him to hurt himself, NOT her. Which he did. But after pushing her around like a dummy. What are you trying to portray CVs? That its hot for a hubby to treat his beloved like shit? That its normal for a husband who trusts his wife so much to be so blinded by his jealousy and rage? That a person who loves another as deeply as Jalal loves Jodha can even dream about hurting her like he did?

Secondly, the way JJ relationship was progressing, there is no way in hell Jodha would have hidden things about Sujamal from Jalal. She knew he was kind, that he considered her important and had changed very ancient and very big laws because he trusted her judgement and reasoning. She would have taken her concerns directly to Jalal and trusted him to do right by her bhai-sa. Had Sujamal asked her to keep it quiet, she would have unleashed her fury on him and told him that she is bound to tell her husband and point out that secrets destroy relationships and that Sujamal has no right to insist she hides things from her pati parmeshwar (which is how Rajvanshis see their husbands). But we all know what happened.

To salvage all the rubbish they have created, the CVs could have shown both realizing and admitting their faults. But suddenly, it is all Jalal's fault in the age old Kekta formula of keeping her leads holier than thou, beyond reproach, a right little devi. Jodha has suddenly had amnesia and has gone back to her initial bhashan giving phase where she would spout the most ridiculous lines with elan! What happened to the tenderness of the letters? The feeling that maybe SHE could not make her husband trust her, that she holds him blameless? Suddenly, his punishment can never be enough and she will never forgive him? Suddenly, his pain is meaningless and her dignity has been questioned out of the blue? Where has the Jodha who took poison for her husband, who cannot bear his pain gone? Who is this child throwing a tantrum all over the country? This cannot be the Jodha we have been seeing since she realized the goodness of Jalal's heart. This is NOT the Jodha you showed us and made us love!

Who are Jodha and Jalal? Who are these people? We don't recognize them. Suddenly, they have become so ridiculous and caricatured from numerous tried and tested formulas, we don't know them anymore. We cannot predict what they would do because we know they have multiple personalities that come up at the CVs convenience. What have you made our show? Have you forgotten the place in top 3 is because of your viewers? Are we suddenly that dispensable for you, CVs?

And the biggest question of all - WHERE IS THE ROMANCE? Track after track, we all wait. Waiting for THAT moment squeezed between months of bhashan giving, longing looks, harem politics, that would take our breath away. You promise us a epic romance, but seriously WHERE IS IT? Jodha and Jalal resemble an elderly couple more than young ones in love! What's with all the praying and the hand holding, and random smiling? Where is the passion? The only place where passion exists is in Jalal's mind - the lovely scenes we got when he was drunk. It feels like the only time he feels anything passionate for his Queen is when he is drunk! And what's with Jodha? I don't think she has ever felt passionate about Jalal. It feels like she wants him to sit and sing bhajans with her as a way to romance! 😲 Where is the closeness, the hunger for each other or even longing looks? By now, people in love get very affected when their object of affection is nearby. If your nether parts are working, you WILL feel desire. Its impossible to love without desire when you are that young, and hale and hearty! Its practically science! A need for procreation! Your body will react because it sees a desirable mate. You will not be content with mere hand holding and courteous looks!

Instead of an epic romance, we got a badly edited scene with cheek kisses that felt more like air kisses between acquaintances! W*F? Don't we merit decent editing now? I don't care whether body doubles are used! There is a way to use them to make sure your viewers do not know!

I feel the viewers have gotten a very raw deal from the CVs, and they need to be bombarded with hate messages and complaints and dipping TRPs to know they cannot take us for granted! We want our fiery logical Queen and our kindhearted trusting Emperor back! And we need passion. Oodles of it! Not some momentary passionate consummation that springs out of their illogical and badly written tracks!

I feel the CVs dont know what they are doing! They don't know anything about their own characters and keep improvising, adding and reducing important qualities 😡

Great post. You have written what is wondering most of us. The tracks are illogical, not interesting and long. We don't recognize anymore the characters. Making an Emperor leave his kingdom to follow a wife like a road side romeo to the extend of faking his death infront of his people. Showing Jodha suffering from amnesia, one day she admits she loves him the next day not. One day she admits her fault for hiding things from her husband and lying to him and the second day she forgets everything and puts the whole blame on him.

You forgot to mention on Ma and Ruqu with their boring and repetitive irritating dialogues.

To tell you the truth I haven't watch the show since saturday and I am sure it's the same with many. Seeing Jalal lying on the road faking his death was the limit for me.

nice post yar.
at the starting when they just married looked so young. you are right. now they are like older couple. when they are together there were no romantic or love scenes. suddenly they made king like devdas and not much feelings from Jodha? how can ek shehansa leaves the kingdom this long? no meaning in that. only FB's has nice scenes than real ones. if they want to drag they could have kept some feel good scenes between them when they are together. nothing like how feeling of freind ship turned to feeling of love. even after she left he need an advise from salima to get her? suddenly he is feeling so much in love and jodha thinks he never expressed.
everybody around him think he loves her so much but not jodha?. what she can do ? they never even show any scenes between them right. even now jallu crying so much, but joda once in a while pray the god for him. no balance and logic inthe track.
even nowif jalal gets injured everybody will blame jodha only right. how come ruks will keep quite. all will say because of joha only he got injured.
