Jalal's TOTAL breakdown & Takhth burning happened ...
NOT after MA'S exposure in Atifa track...
NOT after his Atalik Atgah Khan ' s death...
NOT after Jalal himself brutally killing Adham...

It happened AFTER MA cursing Jalal's UNBORN children.....trying to invoke the supernatural powers to make his unborn kids DIE!!!...that MA, whom Jalal had always held only next to Allah...even higher than HB, his biological mother ...that woman cursed him that his unborn kids should die!!!!!!...it just told Jalal how much MA actually resented him & how much she had manipulated him...all along while plotting against him!!!...all this while Jalal himself had been busy worshipping the very ground that she walked on...

If Jalal would NOT have had a breakdown at this point, I don't think he could ever have had a new beginning....A new story begins when an old story ends, where everything everything appears bleak...pretty much like the stock market...where a new bull run is the new beginning at the end of a most hopeless bear run...

Every human, be it an emperor or a pauper, is entitled to a breakdown in the privacy of his chambers, and/or in the presence of his loved ones...if not, he'd have to be god!

Jalal in his breakdown state said that he wanted to renounce his throne coz it cost him his near & dear ones...what a human, if he happens to be an emperor, is NOT allowed, imo, is to ACTUALLY renounce the throne...

An emperor, amongst other virtues, also needs to be compassionate...n any person who is compassionate at heart, could NOT have been NOT affected by MA'S curse the way Jalal was (following the series of the other events preceeding it)...

...but an able emperor needs to have a very high EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE which enables him to overcome this momentary breakdown cum weakness n emerge MANY TIMES STRONGER...here, he was helped by his soul mate, Jo, to achieve this...( I personally believe that even if Jo had not been there for him, he would have overcome it with his strong EI)

( Emotional intelligence (EI) is the ability to monitor one's own and other people's emotions, to discriminate between different emotions and label them appropriately, and to use emotional information to guide thinking and behavior.)

I am totally with Divya when she says that it is impossible to dissect a daily show on a daily basis....or dussecting every individual dialogue of any episode...one HAS to keep an eye on the bigger picture to be able to take a call on the storyline...what I m unhappy about in the bigger picture is MA's curse, which has cast a blanket of gloom on the future of JA...

N i am totally with EK when she adds all the masala n spice (Jalal weeping, burning the takhth ) if they help the already soaring trps to climb even further...after all, high trps help her bottom line swell further....n EK is here to ROFL her way to the bank...which she is managing just fine...😆 👏

Khushi, I have a slightly different opinion -

Jalal has realised that despite his awakened 'dil', the ferocity within him is ever present - if u remember the opening scene of thursday when he sees his own bloodied form and goes to the hamam to wash off the blood - very shakespearean we called it - but it was much more and this was not guilt or any such thing - this was Jalal coming face to face with his own complete self - he has just realised that the Jallad and the Compassionate both are present within and this is the dichotomy that he was coming to terms with on friday - all along he was wanting to be compassionate, it was not about wanting to be loved - and here were his own who were making him heartless and cruel - this is the true journey of every human - to accept and understand our own dichotomy and to rise above it.


I had wanted to see more of this dichotomy and Jalal's coming to terms with himself and today I got that - this is the most interesting take that I have seen so far - heroes are always good and white - but here we have a hero who is coming to terms with the evil within him - who is understanding and accepting that he has both the good and the evil in him and working towards balancing himself.


All the more interesting - in that entire bhaashan by Jodha, Jalal ke chehre par ju tak nahin rengi - all along his entire visage was of detachment.

I do believe my assessment was correct - he never was intent on abdicating - he was coming to terms with himself - his own duality of Cruelty and Compassion

And his main issue was not the curse - it was Atgha's death - the loss of that one person who kept faith in him - and ultimately what did touch him in Jodha's entire bhaashan was her Q, 'how have u lost faith in urself' - which is when he did realise that he has not lost faith in himself - it was all about his duality - that scene where he sees himself in the mirror and followed by the way he rubs the blood off him - this is a brilliant psychological unfolding - (definitely there must be a psychologist in the CV team now 😉) - his faith in himself was shaken by seeing his own 2 faces - and his faith in himself returned once he realised that it is in his hands which face he chooses - brilliant analogy !!!!

And Rajat has managed to show this even more brilliantly - the impassive and detached Jalal he presented today was too good - his Jalal was at a place where even Jodha could not touch him - what finally touched him was that his own faith in himself was alive and kickin'!!!!!

U know what Khushi, iss poore hafte mei the actual pivotal scene was Jalal seeing his bloodied form in the mirror followed by the hamam scene where he is feverishly washing that blood off himself - the way that scene was done it was too stark and did invoke Lady Macbeth and Shakespeare - and if there is one thing about Shakespeare then it is that all his plays are about human psychology - and since thursday I have been wondering about this scene - infact, since here, Jalal has been in a place where he is touch sporadically but on the whole is totally detached - its almost as if he is outside his body, witnessing himself as one of the players of this drama

I sincerely applaud Rajat for his brilliance here and the team which came up with such an interesting angle.

U know what Adi...u r right once again...

Imagine the thought process going on in Jalal's mind post that bloody mirror scene...that the takhth is the reason for the brutal murders of Atgah n Adham...(one of which he himself is responsible)...for his once beloved Badi Ammijaan (🤢 ) to have so much resentment against him...that the takhth is the reason which has given him the power to be so gory...

He is at crossroads...

Earlier, he was a Jallad ..
Now, he has a dil...

But what he has now realised is probably that he needs to be a Jallad with a dil to be an able emperor...

Not needs to be - he has realised that he is both - what now he needs to do is balance the two and realise that it is in his hands to control the Jallad and keep a reign on the dil.

Not to forget a reign on the one who permanently resides in the dil 😉

This was the Akbar I was wanting - the Jalal of Ratanpur qila with the soul of Akbar - best of both worlds 😉

but does he really needs to be so weak like leaving all the sultanate works before becoming the jallad with dil??? the main point remains tht if jodha hasnt said him anything, he literally would have left evrything. im not questioning jodha's contribution in his life. it will always be there whether he is weak or strong. but the point is whtever situation or condition he is in, wont he think for once about his awam before leaving the throne ???
