What exactly are you trying to show? I am sure you don't want the audience to have an antagonistic feelings towards the lead protagonist. Then why did I feel a subtle pleasure in the scene between Jodha and Maham? I felt Jodha deserves it. This shouldn't have happened.
I know Maham is wrong and evil with her schemes and plots but still I felt someone ought to teach Jodha a lesson on behavior and attitude. I know it was a typical saas-bahu scene where one is getting up on the other but still after the first scene today of Jalal and Jodha I felt Jodha deserved to get a dose of her own medicine. It almost seems she takes out her frustrations, anger and venom of every one in her 'sasural' to Jalal when he is being civil, nice and decent nowadays.
Her anger was justified when Jalal wrongly accused her of miscarriage and he deserved every bit of her wrath and insults but now when all he does is admire and appreciate she is there constantly rebuking him and being unthinkably rude and that is really confusing me! No husband, specially in that era where they worshiped their husbands and respected them beyond unbelievable measure, will take this attitude and nonsense from their wives under any circumstances and here not only Jalal is taking it face down but even falling more for her. Wow! I really need to find one in this time and age as well who will take such BS from a wife. And he was the Emperor of the nation as well.
The first scene today would have been marvelous and superb if only you all toned down Jodha. As I said yesterday being proud and honorable is one thing but crossing the border to being rude and insulting is another thing altogether. It was not her dialogue of putting down Mughals which gave me that feeling but it was her expression and tone that made me feel like shaking her. Even the kheer incident, why was she being so rude? So what if he had the bowl of kheer, there must be lot more prasad as well. Its a royal family after all, there is always plenty. We could have had such a splendid scene there where Jalal intentionally had the kheer from the spoon and given the other half to Jodha and she hesitatingly ate that. Why do we as audience have splendid romantic ideas than you CV's? Even the portrait could have been admired by Jalal and later when he finds out Jodha sketched it he would be left dumbfounded with appreciation. Why is it that I am left with nonsatiation, feeling hungry for more? I felt that scene could and should have been more meaty, more quantitative and qualitative!
When he is admiring the portrait her pride of being a rajputani is fantastic and she ought to be and Prithviraj Chauhan deserves all the praise as well but being a princess she ought to know where to cross the line and where to stop, where to held her head high and where not to put the opponent down or make them feel degraded.
CV's you are walking on a thin line, don't make Jodha so aggressive that audience will lose the connection with her. She is the protagonist and our feelings, sympathies and relating factor should always be with her and not with her opponents. You all can make her proud with her snide remarks to Maham and Ruqaiya where it is deserving but with Jalal when he is toning down you can't make her spit venom all the time. She took the slaps and insults of Ruqaiya without saying a word but here when she needs to tone down she is being nasty and rude all the time with Jalal.
As I said no husband will take this forget the Emperor of the nation.
You are making Jalal human from a cruel boor but in the process is turning Jodha into one. CV's please tread carefully, I shouldn't be feeling Jodha deserves the setback as an audience, it should be the other way round.
This was just my opinion, no intention of hurting anyone or putting any character down.
And please I need more scenes of Jodha and Jalal. Thanks you CV's.
