I think that arrow was Jodha's direction towards her gift and Jalal thought it was Ruqaiya's. I am speculating here. In Bengali we say another name of water is Life. And maybe that is exactly Jodha wanted to show Jalal that how his subjects are surviving from this basic necessity of life. The room in the end of the episode had the reflection all over Jalal's face of liquid gold. I am guessing its a tub of water with glowing lights and glitter showing him the importance of water. But will he realize the significance and importance of this thought? Will wait and watch.
My question here is how did Jodha know people are suffering from lack of water? She never goes out of palace! Then who told her? Or is it because she is Balaji heroine she is omnipresent and omniscient, she knows everything!
Anyway this gift from Jodha might lead him to be the most popular ruler of the Mughal dynasty. Maybe he will earn a title from the masses but don't think it will be "Akbar" yet, it won't be so soon. Unless Jodha's gift does this miracle super fast in the show if not in actual history.
Rahim is adorably cute and loved his admonishing Jalal to go to the neem tree. 😃
Ruqaiya's wrath is justified because she has worked hard for Jalal to get her present but blaming Jodha for it is definitely a no no but then again what can we expect from her! This wrath and jealousy I expected yesterday itself and this will be an eye opener for Jalal and this might change their equation a little. It will push him more towards Jodha.
Overall an ok episode but CV's frankly speaking I expected more today. Why was Jodha holding back? I felt she lacked in warmth in wishing him birthday and later even in her conversation I felt the warmth missing. Unless and until you have something major planned to show tomorrow for this lack in her attitude it won't justify her behavior. Again Jalal had to probe her to get a simple birthday wish from her!
I really wish she will get off from her lecturing mode and behave normal for once. Not every time he needs lessons from her.
And why couldn't Jodha simply explain the meaning of Gayatri mantra to Jalal? Did she want to show him the meaning instead of explaining it to him and thus we see all the glitter in the end signifying the Glory of Sun? Will wait and watch as usual.
I don't blame Jalal in being confused. 😆😆 To get his own gift he has to toil and labor so hard. Thank God only his two begums are thought provoking, if they all were like this he would be running around for one whole year it get his gifts. 😆
Only tomorrow's episode will justify today's episode, so unless I see tomorrow's I can't say whether I liked today's completely. Maybe my expectations were more compared to what I saw. Even their stroll in the village I expected something constructive and thought provoking, qualitative interaction but I didn't get it. Showing the life in general to Shahensha is extremely good but it has to generate that awe inspiring feelings in him as well.
Anyway will wait for tomorrow, usually Thursday episodes so far has always delivered big, so will keep my fingers and toes crossed for tomorrow.
