Of course, there was dramatization, but within the "acceptable confines". It really looked like that the Production House is trying hard to get the show on air. We all have read about Akbar in school books but how many of us decided to read about him in depth before? Due to the protests before launch, the makers even agreed to put up a 30 second disclaimer. That was the time, i began reading in depth about them. History always fascinated me but the credit for my quest to know more about this historical couple, "strangely" goes to the protests against the show in 2013. To be precise, i was astonished to see the protests against this show, and there started my tryst with the story of Akbar and his Hindu Wife. The show is making it's own history, in fact turning history on it's head. I can not believe what is happening in this show. Though, i catched up with some written updates and parts of the show online. I have stopped watching the show long back, for it is miles away from history and now out on an agenda to tarnish the images of the revered historical characters.
It has hit rock bottom, the TRP's are continuously plummeting and consequently it is out of the list of Top 10 shows. Though, of late, the show has no connection with history. Not many of us were aware of the history of Jodha Akbar, which we began to unearth as we read more and more while watching it. Zee mentioned about > employing historians and researchers for this show which really appeared in the starting. The show was supposed to be a magnum opus, started by the Czarina of Indian Television, Ekta Kapoor. This post has been written with an objective to sum up the recent happenings in the show Jodha Akbar airing on Zee TV. Truck loads of (hopefully constructive) criticism and complains have been made in this, as viewers do have a right to make their concerns known. Statutory Warning(Haha.not to be taken seriously:-P) > This post is NOT the usual calm post which i write normally.
NR means "Natkiya Rupanter" alias "Dramatization".
