Hello,
If today's episode can be summed up in a word, it would be funny. It would be unfair to expect a full-blown war like Chittorgadh to be shown effectively on TV screen given how frugal the makers are (e.g: All Raajvanshi women wear Jodha's clothes, and at any given time, the leads do not have more that 4 sets of clothes.) But this was a riot for very different reasons.
I am not sure how many have already watched the episode, but, for those who haven't, a word of advice, watch it on mute. Your eardrums will thank you.
Compared to Friday, it wasn't a bad episode. There was war, or rather an excuse of it. There was Jauhar (read digital fire on which a few young women threw soil, why, I don't know). But, I am jumping the order here, let me go through the serial chronologically.
So Jalaal reached Chittaurgadh (Mehrangadh was shown though) in the dead of the night. And like every youth with a smartphone with internet connection on it, he wanted to update his status "Dinner at Chittaurgadh - with Udai Singh, Kunwar Pratap". But, since this was 16th century, he decided to take matter into his own hands, and decided to gallop near the fort, but stopped at the firing range, or rather was stopped due to a volley of arrows by obviously night-blind soldiers. Just why they put down their muskets and resorted to arrows is something I can't fathom, but, if this is the creme of Rajvanshis in the show, I understand why Jodha beghum frets over them. 😆
The entire force of Chittor gadh fort concentrated on a particular battlement, that too with just 5 people, among them one who suspiciously resembled Munim Khan.
I would request, the DRDO to find the muskets used then, and use them as a prototype for building modern weaponry, given that ordinary muskets in the show were more efficient than long range missiles. 😆
The Mewaris had the advantage of height, due to which they were able to wipe many Mughal soldiers (in other words same dozen of actors who mastered the art of screaming "aah" before slowly collapsing to the floor, the funniest bit, was when the artillery unit before falling, dutifully placed the weapon on earth and then fell with an "aah")
I know we all colloquially call the fight scenes as dandiya, but today Jalaal actually did some disco dandiya with two swords no less, and the fact they kept squirting tomato ketchup on his face every 2 minutes didn't help.
And yes Jodha had Cloud Computing lesson 2, when she deduced the raktpaat via the reddening of clouds. (Somewhere a space scientist died watching this.)
And the episode ended with Jalaal looking at a super-cute kiddo and walking towards it. It looks like he's trying to harm it, but, it will be fun, if he goes to the kid, his pace slow, his head bent to the side, his eyes widened, and then throws the swords and pinches its cheeks. 😆 I wouldn't put that past CVs.
Why would Jalaal ask a soldier about Pratap's whereabouts? He should have tried the halwai, it worked in Amer. 😆
Reaction,
I am trying to not laugh here. 😆
