Well Harshu !
I am starting from your first thread, which happens to be based on the first episode. :)
Rage in Jalal's eyes. He was shown as a true imperialist out to achieve his goal of conquering as much land as possible.
Jodha was as usual shown as the princess we all know her to be.
The highlight was the contrast shown in the nature of both these people.
Jalal - </font><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif"><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">"ke seene mein dil hi nahi hain, galat jagah nishana lagaya tumne."</font>
Amrish Puri's voice of introducing a 15 year old Jalal followed by the fiercely galloping horse. OMG.! It gave goosebumps. I have liked this Jallad version of Jalal also. This shows him to be the warrior he was in reality..
I also liked the manner in which he gives one LAST chance to the person , but beheads him later. Again something very much in sync with those times.

Jodha - " Ek aisa shastra jo Akbar ke seene ko chalni kar sakta tha"
Her introduction was in complete contrast with that of Akbar. As usual, pigeon / dove was shown with her - which depicted the values that lady was known for.

Registan Ki Ret par Likhi ek kavita thi Jodha
</font></div><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">I also noticed that Rajasthani language they empoyed earlier. Like the dialogue of Mainavati - "Katthein! Bhaagi Ja rahi hai Jodha"
Later, they dropped all such references.!
Anyways, it was good to hear the Rajasthani music with such dialogues.
Tuldaan scenes - A treat to watch. :)
The episode ended with Jodha knowing about Jalal --
</font><div align="center"><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">Kaun hai in sainikon ka sardar ? </font>
<font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">Mughal sena ka sirf ek hi sardar hai - Padshah Jalal ud din Muhammed AKbar.
Kehte hain uske seene mein dil nahi hai
Uski nazar mein jeevan ka koi mol nahi, Maut ka farishta hai wo
</font></div><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">
But the highlight of the episode was the conversation which happened at the tomb of Akbar. The voice of Jalal and Jodha - appeared as if pristine, without any alteration.
Since, the episode started with Jodha and Jalal at Akbar's tomb, here are a few lines which are inscribed on his tomb in Sikandra. Many might have visited it, but i am sure, not many thought of finding what is actually written in the inscriptions of Akbar's tomb.
</font><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">I found the last line interesting..
</font><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">I don't have complete translations. Here are a few lines ::

<font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">Written in the name of the King of Kings - The ruler of eternity.. </font>

<font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">He Created two worlds...</font>
<font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">One he concealed from others and another he let remain open...</font>
