Hey,
Okay, I for one, have no clear idea what to say about today's episode . I mean, the Jalaal Versus Ulema portion. Religion is something very personal and one's relationship with God is even more personal. I don't want to comment on who was right and who wasn't. Because I didn't understand any argument at all. I am a Hindu by birth . I have equal respect for Hinduism, Islam., Christianity,Sikhism, Buddhism and all other religions - as long as they are routes to reach that one supreme power - Bhagwaan, Allah. Yeeshu, Budhh, Parmatma, Babaji - no matter what you call HIM. I pray at temples, masjids, churches , gurudwaras and everywhere the feeling is the same. I don't think bowing my head at a masjid or a church makes me any less of a Hindu. I see and feel the same Almighty everywhere irrespective of what priests , maulvis or monks say.
Religion is supposed to give you a faith that defines your way of life and marks your route to unite with God. The moment it teaches you that God is compartmentalized and makes you believe that another human-being is less of a human-being because he/she belongs to another faith , its religion no more. It becomes something else, totally.
So, all that "Who owns Islam" and how " Hinduism influence is a sin to Allah' jazz in today's episode was extremely disturbing to me. Worst being that a Muslim has to justify his relationship with Allah and a Hindu is being forced to convert to Islam. Am sorry, but religious fundamentalism makes me sick in the stomach and just reminds me why the world is such a colossal bloodshed.
Apart from that I have just two things to say about today's episode:
1. Jodha's response to 'what happened last night' with Jalaal has been put into layers by the creatives. She was furious and devastated at the onset but Jalaal's cold and riddle response has switched her off - and now, until she comes to know the truth , she has to keep on oscillating between various possibilities. She is looking as though her flame has died out.
2. The whole Jalaal versus Ulema scene was a BOTCHED UP JOB. Firstly, the cameraman , the editors and the creative on set and edit rooms need to be pulled up. Ashwini was not present during the shoot of the scene - they have used a body double whose face you can see so clearly during the entry. Ashwini has shot for this scene separately - and that is why you only have her closes. Hence, all reactions of Rajat, Paridhi are mismatched and wrong. Its a very very juvenile job at the edits. The post production creative head should be hung upside down by Ekta for such a big mistake. Even trainees don't do such mistakes.
That's it for today, from my side. 😊
