For me this week was filled with lots of hits and misses .. will mentions the hits first followed by the misses π
Hits for this week ...
When passion meets agression
Jalal and Jodha both r not in love yet ... Jodha hates Jalal with passion while Jalal wants to own Jodha with agression π³... This makes both characters very interesting since both r not ready to give up.. Its the battle of equals in a way ππ³...What both r yet to realise that they both hv left a very deep mark in each other's heart which is impossible for anyone or their own self to wipe off βΊοΈ and this is what will slowly bring them close to each other π³
The scene where Jalal in drunk state goes to Jodha's room , pins her against the wall and grabs her hand to leave that mark on her hand was filled with not only passion and agression but there was certain amount of sexual tension too from both sides as they both for the first time could feel each other's breath so closely especially when Jalal comes close to her face and tells her that he married her because he hates her so much βΊοΈβΊοΈβΊοΈ..The way his face came close to her , for a moment I thought he might just end up kissing her πβΊοΈβΊοΈ
What I feel is Jalal initially had made up his mind not to meet Jodha but that foolish Ruqaiyya seems to b hell bent on playing reverse cupid here by instigating Jalal to go to Jodha ka room and claim his authority on her since he is the king and he cant b humiliated by a random queen who says she is not interested in him .. at times I feel what a fool this Ruqaiyya is where she is sending her own husband to her new sautan so that Shehenshah can prove he is the man in this relationship π
For Jalal right now I feel more than love , its his ego which is hurt .. He expects Jodha to wait for him to come to her room but she is rather happy if he does not come to her room and that drives him mad the first night reason why he goes to her room to make her forcibly believe that how he married her to humiliate her since he hates her so much which is obviously not the truth π but he said it to satisfy his own ego ...
Right now Jalal's heart is not in his control π³ .. his heart is overulling his mind .. he wants to force himself on Jodha and prove that he is the king of this harem but his heart is not giving that permission to do so and so he is trying to win the ego battle with those harsh words which can prick Jodha in her heart just because Jodha's words r pricking him in his heart for the first time π .. When he comes near her he feels that sexual pull towards her but then he sees only hate in her eyes , the way she closes her eyes and thats what is driving him mad since first time it has happened that he is feeling some pull towards a woman but the woman in return is not reciprocating the same π ..
No wonder Jalal goes ahead with this chess game idea to put down Jodha out of desperation and his own inner frustration of not able to make Jodha bow down in front of him and in this case he is sure that Ruquaiyya will win it and then in front of her he will say as prize I will fulfill one big wish of Ruqaiyya trying to make Jodha jealous π .. but his plan flops with Jodha winning it and in return saying she wants nothing as per spoiler which will b a total shocker for Jalal π ... This is first time Jalal must b getting defeats from a woman repeatedly and so its a new discovery for him that not all woman r crazy for him which is driving him mad π ...On one hand u hv someone like Rquaiyya who demands her wishes from Jalal even before winning the game and then on other hand u hv Jodha who will want nothing from him even after winning the game ...Obviously he can see the difference between both and it will only amuse him more to see how brutally honest and selfless Jodha is compared to his other begums π³... I guess eventually this will draw him towards her since he can see she is first woman in harem who is not interested to win him only physically , she is rather interested in finding true love which comes from heart .. π³
If Jalal wants to win Jodha with his agression , then Jodha is unknowingly making sure that she arises the feeling of passion and warmth in Jalal's heart which can come only from true love that Jalal is starting to feel for Jodha π³...And when passion meets agression , it can only result in epic love which will soon bloom in Jalal and Jodha's heart for each other π³
Jalal : Mr Unpredictable vs Jodha : Mrs Motormouth π
This week also saw very interesting confrontations of both husband and wife where both encountered the unexpected from each other and it was quite fun to watch ππ
First comes the bath scene π.. Who would hv thought Jalal will get all naughty and ask Jodha to give him a bath in return of accepting her clause to lie to Bharmal and Mainavati about how both r happy as married couple ππ... Jalal surely knows how to do chance mein dance na ππ.. The positive thing here is even though Jalal made Jodha give him a bath but his conditions r not too complicated which Jodha cannot do .. like if he wanted then he could hv asked her so many things like kiss me or u know that sort of ahem demand π.. but instead he just asks her to give him a bath ππ³ .. so I feel the main purpose of Jalal here is to b naughty with Jodha because secretly he is feeling a husband like attraction towards her π³ .. But he will never put her in a situation which he knows she wont b able to do π³ .. On a side note his wicked smirk while she is putting water on him with her own hand after he throws the jug was sensational π³π³...
Second comes the Mirchi scene π .. Again Jalal does the unexpected here by not only eating that spicy food but also making sure that he gives a all happy picture and asks Jodha's parents to stay with them for some more time π³..He could hv easily humiliated Jodha in front of all for putting so much chillies in food which is what Mahamanga wanted π‘ , but instead he gulps down the entire food and only talks to her in private about it which is what a typical husband should do π³... Sad part here is no matter what Jalal does here , Jodha will think of it in a negative way only like she thinks Jalal is deliberately making a hue and cry about the food and also she thinks Jalal deliberately asked her parents to stay for some more time just to find out opportunities to mayb embarass her ..Mayb Jalal too thinks that he wants to put down Jodha at any cost but everytime I feel his heart is not giving him that permission to do so and so inspite of getting all angry on Jodha for giving him that spicy food , he still could not embarass her in front of his parents π³π³...He might try to scare her in private that I will tell so and so to your parents but the truth is he is not able to do so which is driving him crazy π
Third comes the many unexpected decisions taken by Jalal this week starting from making Maan Singh his right hand when everyone thought he will b punished for breaking the harem rules to releasing those banjara people in today's episode after Jodha revolted against how loving ones country and religion is no sin ...Both decisions were unexpected as its coming from none other than Jalal who is known for his cruel tactics when it comes to punishing people for breaking rules but in both cases he shocks everyone with his decision just because Jodha was involved in both cases ππ...Jodha as usual takes both these decisions in negative way and thinks Jalal has back up plan like using Maan singh against his own people , but the truth is both these decisions of Jalal did shock Jodha too since she wasn't really expecting it from Jalal π³ .. I m waiting for the day when someone like Salima will make Jodha realise about the many positives of Jalal too
And if Jalal was Mr.Unpredictable this week then Madam Jodha was the motormouth this week ππ...Fourth comes the scene where Jodha went on and on against Jalal thinking its Moti behind her but instead u hv Jalal listening to Jodha's words and I guess this is first time he mayb standing behind and doing work of his begum like giving puja thali and all just to listen what his begum thinks about her ..Poor Jalal .. he looked so damn amused with Jodha's list of complaints against him π€£π€£π€£π€£π€£π€£...Even though I dint like the way Jalal is blindly following Ruqaiyya's words here π‘ but still the whole temple scene was funny the way Jodha opened her complaint box against Jalal to Moti and instead u hv Jalal listening to it all and mayb thinking woww this woman has a point damn it π²π²ππ...One thing Ruquaiyya said right though about Jodha defeating Jalal's heart slowly π...Jodha is indeed defeating Jalal's heart here because his heart knows Jodha is right when she talks about how Jalal should not use her parents to play this one upmanship game with her ππΌ...
Last but not the least madam motormouth today too went on and on about the banjaras and their flag which again has a point reason why Jalal had to release those banjaras π...Jodha's words might frustrate Jalal but he too knows they all hv a perfect point which cannot b debated π...
Its interesting how Jodha's words r leaving Jalal all amused while Jalal's unexpected decisions are leaving Jodha and entire Mughal fraternity all shocked ...No wonder both r made for each other π
At present both r enjoying a snake and ladder game of sorts where at timesJodha gets upperhand like telling Jalal to remove his shoes in front of kanha to embarass him π and at times we see Jalal hving upper hand by asking Jodha about the cut in her wrist in front of her mother π ... This is clear indication that its going to b a playful relationship in future for sure π³ ...
Misses for the week ...
Ruqaiyya the vamp and Jalal the follower ?? ππΌ
I feel CVs r making this Ruqaiyya a bigger villain than mahamanga and so all the footage was give to her in last 2 episodes to show how she is controlling Jalal's mind for now and misguiding him ..The part where Ruqaiyya brainwashed Jalal about how Jodha is targetting his heart was still fine since initially Jalal will b all confused about his own feelings and since Ruqaiyya is his only trusted begum so far when it comes to any important discussion , so I understand why Jalal is going to her and obviously Ruquaiyya will try to misguide him..So all that was expected π€ ... But the whole Ruqaiyya bath scene in front of Jalal was in bad taste the way Ruquaiyya was shamelessly taking bath and Jalal kept standing like some servant in front of her asking her what to do next ππΌ .. The whole dignity of a Shehenshah came down in this scene which dint go down with me at all ... at times Ekta goes all extreme and destroys characters in this manner π‘ .. she needs to b more careful while dealing with these historical characters
In real history , Ruquaiyya was not even this cunning .. here CVs made her into a scheming vamp now who is even dominating Jalal: The shehenshah ... I hope they dont continue this for long and after chess game we see a change of heart in Jalal as he will realise Jodha is different from others and no more remains dependent on Ruquaiyya π‘ ...
Mahamanga is still a elderly lady , so taking suggestion or ideas from her is understandable but Jalal taking ideas from Ruquaiyya like a helpless defeated man was a big turn off for me ..
Jodha and her assumptions at times get too extreme π€
I love Jodha's character and I also understand where she is coming from .. but at times I feel she goes a bit too extreme with her assumptions regarding Jalal instead of trying to find out the real facts π€
Like for example , if she sees Jalal is all mad with her for spicy food , instead of assuming that Jalal is faking it or he cannot intake Amer's chilli , she could hv tasted that same food in kitchen once again to see if someone later mixed something in food π...
Then why this assumption that Jalal made Maan Singh his right hand so that he can prepare Maan singh to fight against his own people ?? I understand she hates Jalal for obvious reasons but why cant she believe that Jalal can make some selfless decisions too based on pure talent like he does in case of Maan singh after seeing the kind of loyalty he has for his people ...
I know its too early for Jodha to start seeing the positives of Jalal , and somewhere she is right about few of her assumptions too but I feel at times she forcibly wants to make her heart believe that a person like Jalal can never take any positive or neutral decision for anyone π€...She has made a negative image regarding Jalal in her heart and she is hell bent on making sure that the negative image of Jalal remains intact in her heart
Somehow some of the assumptions Jodha made this week were a bit put off for me because I felt Jodha could hv done much better if instead of assuming certain things , she could tried to find out the real facts like the spicy food saga ... π€...
Looking forward to all your views π
