Hi Mansi, what a fabulous and perfect write up... Congratulations to you and all those people who were so much positive and confident about Jalal.. Thanks for not not letting me lose hope on Jalal as its your post which kept that faith in Jalal alive...
Coming to the episode at first I did not want to watch it but then I went against my own thoughts and gathered all my courage and reluctantly switched on the tv at 8 pm to see only the antiques of Jalal but what I saw yesterday made my playful mood to come back... In the confrontation scene between JaJo it became clear that he was putting up an act the way he avoided answering her question So directly asked by her... But when he didn't have any other option but to reply then he looked away from her then gathered all his strength so that he could say those hurtful words to her which he very well know will shatter her... Then very reluctantly he answered in an undertone "yes " . Mansi did you notice at first he accepted Atifa affair in a low voice, it was only later he raised his voice as if he wanted to let everyone to know see now I have said it on Jodhas face that I have moved on from her ... See MA over hearing accomplished his mission... The pain and guilt of hurting her and causing her pain was quiet evident... My heart went out for both of them.. When Jodha closed her eyes in pain it gave me a pinch in my heart poor girl she has to go through such hell in this vulnerable condition. on the other hand did you notice that the camera while revolving paused for a fraction of second on Jalals face... I think it was purposely done so that we could see Jalals expressions... Then after looking at each other without any word he very reluctantly broke away.. .. Uff the whole scene was so beautifully executed by the director and the actors as well.. Only one thing which I didn't like we're the dialogues... How can they give such harsh dialogues for a pregnant lady.. Then I thought may be it is coming from man whose ego was hurt as well as his helplessness of not being able to share it with her...
The second scene which concerned both of them was so pious calm and serene... After Salima and HB made Jodha know of the importance and meaning of That auspicious night she offered a silent prayer which had had her Sahensha in it... And his peeping through the door while passing by And Jodhas sensing his presence was so beautiful it again shoWed the spiritual connect between them... . The eye lock that followed was so beautiful there were so many unspoken words in them Her eyes had questions, pain , hurt, anguish and his eyes had love , helplessness pain and guilt...he wanted to keep looking at her forever... But was interrupted by Salima may be she didn't want anybody to see through Jalal as she thought it will surely harm his plan.. If we go by Dikshas and your theory of Salima being a party to all his plans.. he had to lie that he came to see everybody but his constantlying looking at his Jodha said it all that he just wanted to keep looking at her till the end of time as he cannot go to her and find peace in her arms...
Coming to the last scene between them in his room where he was talking about some daan vagera.. That pensive mood of his and the melancholy air in his room said about his inner hurt guilt and turmoil.. The silent and calm surroundings around him was exactly contrary to his inner self which was hiding a storm inside it... Then came his lady love who coldly informed him about the arrangements .. Even though her voice sounded cold but it had pain hidden inside it... And just when she was about to leave he called her name "Jodha Begam" with all his love and pain which moved her and her aching heart... May be he wanted to comfort her a little by saying something he knows that even though she has put up a brave face but she is shattered from inside or may be he simply wanted to apologize for his rude behavior... She halted for a while but when she sensed him coming near her with reluctance she went away without looking at him and he stood there motionlessly with his eyes lingering on her till she is no more visible... Uff what a scene...
Yesterday was an episode where except for the confrontaton part no words were exchanged between the leads as there was no need for words their eyes took all the responsibility of taking there was no need for words only eyes were enough... It was such a beautifully directed and acted episode
Yesterdays episode reminded me of two songs one is " You say it best when you say nothing at all " by Boyzone and " Woh Humsafar tha " from the show Humsafar.
Finally Chand Begam made an appearance Oh My God the way she retooled Maham was a sight to behold ... Dunno why but I think CB is putting up an act of madness. Yesterday I felt she was purposely befooling Maham and misleading her.. I also felt the Atifa track and CB track are interlinked and will come to an end together during Eid... Do you think it's possible????
Even though I am not liking this track because of iltreatment of a pregnant Jodha and I know at the end however teda Jalal May be he will end up crying buckets like Anurag Basu ... But still I am looking forward for the track to unfold...
