Charu,
Do comment if it makes you feel better. I have nothing more to write about the REEL JA these days. So, just posting episode updates till i can. Perhaps, a habit now.!
We watch and write about our disappointment but still we watch. ;)
BTW,
Someone mentioned about the Twitter Id of Manish. Yes, we have it but there is no use tweeting them about anything. They write as per their own thought out process. I won't be shocked if TRP's rise in this track. I guess the TRP's are about to come as it is Thursday.
Ayushi - Yes, for sure tomorrow the spell is going to break. Whatever had to happen, happened today i hope. Tarunika also had same views. LINK
Samanika - Nice review. Thanks for posting. Just want to add one more thing, "Logic and Leela" are poles apart. Don't expect anything. The Clothing sense is no where to be seen. There is a manner to dress up for royals not like what is happening here. To top it all, no one noticed this.
Aadhya - This new offscreen picture which you posted, makes me feel, Leela will plan her magic on Jodha now, i do think, this will be ULTIMATELY Jalal saving Jodha, as her magic won't work on Jalal, so she might try on Jodha. Don't be surprised if they plan to show Leela as some "witch" who can either take form of Jodha or something else. Not sure about the historical research, but the CV's seem to have done good amount of research in wizardry and witchcraft, to know what all they can write for this track. It seems to be their favorite track. Let us see.
Welcome everyone. Read all the comments. :)
Abhay, I wish that this serial had some other name besides Jodha Akbar.
Look what we are being subjected to under the guise of a historical. So now there is Bollywood influence on the music, clothes and theme ? š² Listen to the lyrics of the original number from RamLeela. It has been most inappropriately applied to the present situation between Laboni the witch š and the Shehehshah..
If what is shown on screen is demeaning and insulting, naturally the writers reaction will be one with anger and frustration. In such a situation, how can a particular forum member stating the truth be termed 'negative'?
The reason why I did not share any thoughts about the execution yesterday, is because there is nothing worthy of being mentioned. Had I written something, it would have been a verbal tirade against EK and several other aspects of the story and character depiction. So, I lay low.
Each and every aspect of production, starting with story, screenplay, editing, dialogues,costumes, choreography, music and most importantly naming the serial after historical characters and then demeaning them, is steadily becoming more and more unpalatable.
Like I had mentioned in one of my previous posts, I feel sorry for the actors playing the titular roles. They are performing on auto mode, I am sure they are bound by contract and are in a no-win situation themselves.
The show has reached such dismal depths that it is absolutely impossible to view it with detachment and as a non historical. If that was possible, there would not be so many frustrated, disgusted members sharing their candid opinions. Last week it was me frankly stating my views about the highly uncreative Creatives, this week there are triple more more of my forum friends doing the exact same thing. Read somewhere that the ratings have increased. I wonder how the ratings are being calculated and which section of the audience loves the current presentation.
Is this the kind of content that Ekta Kapoor intended to present for a historical? It is blatant misuse of the power of the television medium, that too on prime time. Worst still doing so misusing the names of historical greats, Jodha and Akbar.
I wholeheartedly appreciate your efforts in watching this pathetic excuse of a historical and writing a daily gist of it. For a person who has in-depth knowledge of historical characters, is familiar with the chronological order of events, and other related historical details, being subjected to such a crass and insulting presentation of NR, will be really annoying and appalling. Honestly, kudos to your handwork and your patience Abhay. š šš¼
I will continue reading your daily updates. When you are spending time and efforts to write a daily synopsis, I'd rather read that than watching the serial. Will definitely share positive views if something positive and uplifting is shown.
