Khushi dear,

You have to learn to insulate yourself from what is to come halfway down the road, otherwise you will work yourself into a state of depression all too soon! There will then be no point at all in my doing these posts.

Shyamala Aunty

Another homerun Aunty! Excellent take!

Hello Guys,

This is the first time i write my note about Jodha Akbar episode among the fans of Jodha Akbar who is admire a lot with a wide and depth ShyamalaJi's writing in Dhwani Forum and IF. I admire her writing too..even though i'm as a silent member (read: only read the discussion thread, and so on) at Dhwani Forum, Yes, first time i join to Dhwani Forum cause of Jodha Akbar.

I start write at IF when i read at History_geek thread, his unique writing style to compare the JA story with a real history, make me glued at his thread. As usual in the beginning i write the posting at History_geek thread.

First and Second episode of Jodha Akbar.

My Note:

I start saw Jodha Akbar not from beginning, i start my eye and ear catch a scene when Jalal push Jodha to the wall and he thrust his face as close as to Jodha face and lock her body with his. He said "I married you just to vengeance and i hate you a lot" And Jodha said something words to warning this Shahenshah's fury in scary tone but she try to be polite. For me this scene is fishy and interesting. I already interest with this couple. So, i start to watch from beginning with that interesting feel.

First episode start with scene of many kind of mandir with background music (for me sounds like mantra recited). Why they are not show a mosques? This is a reason and the interesting one, cause the story is not about love story only, but story about a rise of a new Emperor who will love with whole Hindustan as it is include with this exotic mandir and the people who worship inside it with depth in their soul. This is why i accept and appreciated the CV, entering the story with this scene. Hindustan existence has been around for thousands of years, he is not change even though the ruler of Hindustan was change since The Great Emperor Ashoka till the new rise of Emperor Akbar.

The Soul Talk scene, i'm not comment it cause ShyamalaJi was write it in depth and detail. 😉

First appearance of Jalal dan Jodha

The CV try to build a first impressed to the audience (viewer) Jalal and Jodha is a huge different personality and culture (of course), through the voice of Jalal in the Soul Talk and voice of Om Puri. Jalal identical with power and cruelty. Jodha indentic with kindness and love. The analogy of Jodha who become most powerful weapon to conquer Jalal, is familiar for me. We have many history about the princesses who's married with the powerful king for sake of peace and the other name is become alliance.

I notice in Indian story (i'm only saw Mahabharat and Jodha Akbar, and start to Ashoka), the main character which describe as kindness and purity always personified who hold a pigeons or surrounded with pigeons (Shree Khrisna, Jodha, Dharma-Ashoka's mother) No wonder, the first entering Jodha describe with that kind of scene.

Second Episode, I'm only interesting at Jodha vow. For me, Paridhi delivered very well in expression, body language and also the voice tone. I notice too, in Indian line story when someone endure or saw a lot of pain and injustice he/she will take an oath, when, how, or what kind of way he/she will fulfil it, THATS the story.

But i want to ask the fellow at the forum, when someone behind Jodha remind her how you want to fulfill it, you are a woman" and Jodha reply with "I know everyone looks a woman as a weak". My questions is this dialogue used word "aurat" (sound like that - i don't know about Urdu or Hindi), is that word in Urdu NOT Hindi/Marathi, as I know, they usually used "manila or stri" in Hindi or Marathi.🤔

Reciprocal Dialogue

For me the encounter of they soul begin at Jodha heard Jalal name, she saw and feel his cruelty represented with his soldiers. At the same time Jalal also heard Jodha name right after his soldiers reported of they defeated. After that moment, both of them haunt each other. This kind of they inside emotions describe in reciprocal dialogue.

Rescue Moti Bai

I delight when saw Paridhi run to burning Moti Bai, she's consistence run with a grace gesture till episode when Jodha heard Hussain hungry cry. She's run away with the same gesture to Rukkaiya hojra. 😳

Ok guys, this is the end my note for first and second episode of Jodha Akbar.

No, my pet, my piece of advice WAS for you. I knew that yours were the comments in blue. Take a look at the one that I have bolded and underlined. That is what I was cautioning you against. You cannot allow such a lovely little scene to be spoilt in this fashion, now, can you?

Shyamala Aunty ...agreed 👍🏼...one has to view a rerun with a neutral pov...else no point in either watching or analysing...

ShyamalaJi, you amaze me with your put the analogy 'siren song' and 'nemesis'. Indeed its precise to describe the part of scene in the second episode of Jodha Akbar.

Oh, I have done that 3 times already, twice in my responses and once in the post on Episode 2!
