First and foremost, we should never get too excited over a precap as you never know how it plays out ... I know a lot of people were worried about yesterday's precap (Remember this line when I get to tomorrow's precap 😆)
Many thought it would show Jodha getting all the credit for the theerth yaatra tax ... But I truly felt that while Jodha was definitely an influence, it was Jalal's show and decision all the way and what a milestone decision and episode!
Which gets me to my take 5 filled with Jalal's action, Todarmal, and of course the precap:
(1) The first scene of Jalal. Atgah, and Todarmal coming into the awaam: Loved it for its cuteness including Jalal's til and how it reminded me of the movie, especially when he angrily asked, "Do you know who I am?" 😆
A few other things I loved:
- Jalal did remember his encounter with the pilgrimage tax as Badal ... I thought they would forget that 👏
- I also liked the fact that corruption also came out of this issue not only the pilgrimage tax- maybe the CVs are trying to show creativity here ... As well as they asked the price of rice instead of gehu 😆
- Phew, and I sighed a huge sigh of relief that the CVs are following the movie more and not trying to do anything hatke anymore ... 😉
(2) Jalal in Jodha's room: a few things I liked about the scene
- The focus on Jalal removing his shoes ... Always such a cute gesture 😳
- Jalal's love for the painting and how he speaks to it so openly ... how he always wanted to talk to Jodha ... Who knew Sharifuddhin's painting will play such an important role in the story 😆
- A good transition to the flashback with the box ... Instead of an abrupt move to a random flashback scene we had not scene before 👏
- It was the usual nok-jhok type conversation between Jodha and Jalal that I miss so much 😳
Also, I am so excited Jodha will be back soon ... I am sick of Moti's questions for the Shehenshah.😆
(3) Jalal's logic in the Diwan-e-khaas: I love it how Jalal squashed all opposition on the Diwan-e-Khaas particularly his arguments on the equality of Hindus and Muslims as his subjects as he proposed extending the tax to Muslims ... When Hindus and Muslims were equal in serving his Sultanate, why should the rules be different? And, I guess these words were the purpose of the flashback with Jodha. However, as I said, more than the words, I loved his courage to take a stand and drive change.
This guy still does know how to build a convincing case! And the assertive stamp on the bill showed that Jalal meant business! And I loved every bit of it! ⭐️👏
(4) This Todarmal means business: It is great to see Todarmal take an active role in the passage of the pilgrimage tax ... I am fine if Jodha influences Jalal's bills, but it is about time one of the ministers does some work ... Poor Atgah Khan is always doing "Hukum ki taamil ho" and Maan Singh has been promoted from a blank expression to smiling.😆
But jokes apart, in the movie, Todarmal only accepted that the passage of the tax would hurt the treasury ... Here, Todarmal made the case that in the long run it will benefit the sultanate as there will be greater prosperity and happiness and less riots, etc. to manage. 👏
(5) Precap: You know what I loved - Jodha saying that I want to rectify my mistake and go back to Agra. I first checked if I heard right and then jumped up and down that she accepted she made a mistake. 👏⭐️😃
Ek shabd ki keemat tum kya jaano Jodha Begum? I always knew reforms would be the way to Jodha's heart!
Was I the one who said don't get too excited about the precap ... That is only when you have a bad feeling about it ... Not when you have a good feeling about it! What is the worst that can happen- it can be Bharmal's dream? See if you could laugh at that, you are now prepared for the worst tomorrow. 😆
So now if Jodha is ready to come back to Agra, how are they going to drag till IPL? Well, I think they will follow something like the movie ... The lovebirds will be interrupted by Shivani-Tej's wedding preparations, they will be hesitant to atart the conversation again, and the Maham Anga's plot will put Jalal's life at risk. What say? 😉
So, what are your thoughts with the episode?
