I was a little annoyed though hardly surprised that EK/CVs continue to find excuses to keep MA front and center. We spent a good deal of time seeing her, listening to her, and listening to others talk/think about her. She having been caught in three very big conspiracies against the King and her family (JaJo separation, CB imprisonment, and this bagawat), there is not even a talk of looking into what else she may have done.
I continue to feel that the last 1.5 day's of bhandaphod was too rushed and left many loose ends. In particular the end game in CB saga should have been fleshed out better.
For example, what are we to understand from Jalal's repeated statement that Atga "helped" him find CB? We were shown a lone Jalal wandering around the surang with mashal and stumble on to CB. Did Atga see CB and, instead of freeing her immediately, sent a message to Jalal to go free her? 😊
BTW, Jalal should go beyond thanking Atga and openly admit that he has learned that, when so much depends on him, it is important not to be a lone-ranger but take a few good men into confidence. Without Atga, he could not have found CB or secured the palace from MA's soldiers. Yes he would have killed Amanullah but then still faced stalemate without Atgah's help.
Jalal-Jodha talks, when they happen at all, continue to lack depth. A bit like their hugs. :) For example, we remember Jalal tried to make her feel as if there was a contradiction between her trusting him in the Mirchi war, but not now in the Atifa case. Jodha even fell for that and remained silent.
Yet there is no contradiction: In both cases Jodha has trusted what her husband told her. In the Mirchi war, she dismissed AM's boasts precisely because she recalled what Jalal had told her. She didn't believe AM; she believed Jalal. This time too she believed what Jalal told her! If it was AM who came and told her that Jalal hates her and is in love with Atifa, I am sure she wouldn't have fallen for that. 😊 So there was no contradiction.
If they had talked about it, they would have understood that believing each other's words is just one step in a complex human relationship. Next, their understanding of and belief in each other has to transcend words. Oddly enough, only Atga showed such understanding. So the depth of a relationship matters as much as intensity. JaJo have intensity but, with just one year together mostly spent in ghrina and misunderstandings, are yet to develop depth. Their journey, much to our delight, continues.
Very cute man-to-man talk between Rahim and Jalal. 😊
