I don't know how many of you will agree with me ... but I was somehow a little disappointed with the way Jodha's sadness over death of Suryabhan was directed.

It was a bit shallow and disjointed, or maybe the emotions of Jodha were not as strongly portrayed as they should be (especially if she has seen her fiance beheaded savagely).

In the end, they showed that she found the strength to convince her father that he should save the brothers at least, despite her own tragedy ... so I suppose we should think that either she is intrinsically a very courageous person at heart, able to bounce back fast from personal tragedy …or else, maybe her love for Suryabhan was not so deep enough that it completely crippled her??

I'd love to know if you all think the same way as I do or have different views on this.

Jodha was a super strong character..
so they showed that like that. i guess.. she was irresistibly strong by heart and physically also so she was portrayed as that i think😳

Yes, I noticed that too. Also there was a repeat of the fainting, bedside and waking sequences that seems like a bad idea ... I don't know what exactly is bothering me, but it seemed as if she got over the brutal death of Suryabhan too fast!

I would have expected that she would have been more traumatised by this event, na?

Okay, so there are opinions on both sides, for and against, and that is good.

Lol and while she was uncoscious, it sort of looked fake. You should have looked at her eyes then.. it was obvious that she was wide awake. She was never really lovestruck though, hadn't got past the 'like' stage.

Also one small blooper ... before her grandmother could sprinkle water on her face, her eyes were opening and she was already coming out of that fainting fit. So it looked a little odd ... like bad editing😕

Mansi,

I do not think that Jodha has as yet developed any deep and abiding love for anyone, and not at all for Suryabhan. From her side, theirs was a pleasant, conflict-free, passionless and gentle relationship, facing no difficulties, no opposition, no discord of any kind. She liked him a very great deal as he was a familiar entity from her own milieu. He was also reassuring as a potential husband; he fitted in with her requirements under this head, such as bravery, and a readiness to stand up to the Mughals; Plus he was not bad looking, which always helps😉, and he was head over heels in love with her, which is always a great recommendation to a woman!

All this, even put together, does not add up to love, and definitely not to the deewangee that haunts one's soul night and day. Both Jodha and Jalal are capable of such deewaangee, but neither knows that as yet. There were hints of it earlier, when Jodha is puzzled and disturbed by her inability to forget the face seen in the water, despite her knowing that she is to marry someone else. Of late, she had suppressed it, because of her hatred of the man whose image had obsessed her, and under the overlay of new experiences, in Bhanpur and earlier. But the instinctive attraction is still there, and it will reemerge when the time comes.

When it comes, it will be an all consuming passion that can see nothing and no one else but the beloved.

So, when she now learns of Suryabhan's gruesome end (which, one has to keep in mind, would not be as shocking to a 16th century Rajput princess familiar with deaths in war as it would be to us today; after all she always wanted Jalal's head at her feet, did she not, the bloodthirsty wench?), it is with great shock and sorrow, not an all consuming grief.

She is also a princess, trained from birth to look to her responsibilities first and foremost, and that is what she does yesterday.

I have not been an admirer of hers, and I have always held that her veerangana title was yet to be proven. But yesterday, she was brave, with a kind of cold, calm courage that is more impressive than the adrenaline-fuelled do or die courage in the battlefield.She does not think of herself or what is to happen to her now, she does not weep and lament like her mother. She does what a wise and responsible ruler should do, compromise with the yuddha/raj dharma of a king to fulfil the other royal duty of being a protector of his subjects, whatever the cost to his ego. It is good for her strutting, vainglorious fool of a father that Jodha was there to steady him.

So I was not disappointed with Jodha's reaction to Suryabhan's death; it was not too deep a loss anyway, plus she had other and more important matters to take care of.
