Today was a breezy episode ... It didn't blow too hot nor too cold, it just kind of flowed its own path.
Without much ado, here is the take 5 for today's episode:
(1) Jalal looking at Jodha from afar but yet so close to her: liked the first scene primarily because it is very rare to see Jalal defend Jodha in front of MA especially during the Ben track; three things I liked:
- His appreciation of Jodha focusing on her work without jashn
- Countering MA's comparison of Jodha to Ruqs who always had time for him (not true! There were many times Jalal had to wait for Ruqs to deal with harem matters)
- Jalal's blush when MA said he has changed with our signature BGM ๐ณ
(2) Ruqs so close to Jalal physically but not emotionally: A complete contrast to the scene above, Ruqs was pretty much gluing herself to Jalal to his utter discomfort. He seemed lost and far away the whole time; three things I liked:
- Jalal immediately identified that Ruqs gave up the title so she will be free and b with him while keeping Jodha busy- so much for Ruq's uber-sophisticated chaal!๐
- His counter that he was still busy ... Imagine , would he ever say that to Jodha? He is never busy for Jodha- like in the precap.
- His sarcastic laugh when Ruqs said he was more important that her audha- I guess CVs thought they could be a little funny ๐
(3) Swordfighting: Oh can Jalal (Rajat) use his sword! It was awesome though it lasted 20 seconds. The intensity! And the best part, I guessed he would be swordfighting seeing his outfit yesterday. Wow, sometimes, I do guess it right! I am still ๐ณ
(4) Jodha's worry of missing Jalal and he might misunderstand her and the Akdha scene: Again a sign that it will be very difficult to create a MU between these two, Jodha goes and apologizes immediately and loved her worry at having missed him. For Jodha, this is immense progress! Liked overall the nok jhok and conversation. I liked how Jalal hesitantly added shohar to friend, but unfortunately, Jodha clinged to the friend! This epic love story will obviously be slow ... Hopefully, something happens in the jashn to fast forward. ๐
(5) Precap: Note the Jodha's mahanta of abolishing slavery did not make the list, what is new in that? I liked the precap for two reasons:
- Jalal always makes time for Jodha unlike Ruqs
- As harem warden, Jodha will spend more time with Jalal - so much for Ruqs plan. Ruqs wouldn't know because she wanted to rule the harem herself without Jalal's interference.
Jashn is next week and Sujamal looks like he is going to stay around... Let's the jashn begin!
I am guessing three questions will rule the forum this weekend:
(1) What is the major event that will happen in Jashn? Will it help Akdha or hurt it?
(2) Why is Sujamal in a woman's guise?
(3) Will Jodha, Akbar, and Ruqs go on another trip?
Just kidding. So, what were your thoughts on the episode?
