Friends, as of today I have stopped posting my long analysis on the episodes and thought I would do short posts on the aspects of the episode that I want to highlight.
The problem is motivation ... there isn't much left in me. And besides, the episodes are increasingly crappy and not worth a full fledged analysis either.
However I thought I will make a post everyday so that it can be used as a thread for discussion by those habituated to writing on my thread ... just a place for us friends to congregate and go yackety-yack!
In yesterday's episode I found the last scene of the Meena Bazaar exquisitely beautiful where Jalal uses sign language so poignantly to communicate with Mehtaab and then she gives him a paak Koran as a prize and he says "You are a special spirit. Everyone made me buy things from them, but you have bought me instead! I will buy everything in your shop and make you more profitable than Salim!"
The way that scene happened and the expressions of Jalal, Mehtaab and even Bakshi were goosebumps-producing!
I also liked the smartness of Salim in offering kisses as an incentive to buyers. He is a pucca ladies' man and salesman already! If he is given a chance instead of fighting with shamsheer he may prefer to kiss and win over his enemies on the battlefield any day!
Other than that the rest of the episode was fillers.
I think today we may see Salim taking permission from Ruq to slip out of his shop and accost Nadira who has turned up her nose at him.
Regarding that precap, I thought Ruq was holding a dibbi of some black drug paste that she wanted to apply on Salim discreetly so that he starts craving that drug. And he will thus fall into Ruq's clutches and she will make him dance to her tune. The sad part of it was not that Ruq had this disgusting idea but I felt really bad that a sweet and happy child was being converted into an addict so easily by a bad natured woman. See how easy it is to convert a child!!😲
And half the problem is that Jodha is keeping up her stance of not talking to him. She is so extending this supposed anger on Salim that she is pushing Salim towards Ruq herself. Salim is finding it easy to ask Ruq for permission to leave the stall, and no doubt he will start leaning heavily on Ruq as long as Jodha pretends continuing anger with him and Ruq will rub the drug paste on him.
By the way, was that some opium paste?
