Yeh Kaali Kaali Aankhein - Thoughts?

Who here's watched this strange mix of dark humor and ... I couldn't really even tell what the genre was but it reminded me a lot of Haseen Dilruba except it was a lot darker. I watched the first few episodes and couldn't tell what the heck was happening. Is the other girl supposed to be a grey character or do things just fall in place for her cuz her dad picks up what she wants telepathically?!!!

I watched it. Wasn't really sure how I felt about it when I first started but it just kept playing and I got interested. The main bad girl is kind of grey. They keep us in the dark about her so it is whatever you assume tbh. It is an interesting thriller over all. Personally though, I wish they picked a better looking guy. Or kept him clean shaven to make him look more innocent to work with the character. It would have helped to understand why the girl was obsessed by him in the first place.

I watched it though I must have missed details because I was doing other things with it.

But the biggest problem for me was the casting. I don't like any of the 3 main actors. The main guy comes across like a weasel instead of looking tortured. There is nothing deeper going on. The politician's daughter and the other love interest are soooo generic. This is one big issue with web series. They don't get distinctive and sparkling actors. They really just seem boring and basic TV actors. It never lifts the material.

The only show that did it right was Pratik Gandhi in Scam 1992.

yup, that's what i thought -- they left a lot to our own imagination. Couldn't tell why she was obsessed with him either cuz all three characters are average looking at best!

And neither did they show us much of their school days to develop a narrative. It was super random and didn't make sense to me.

he did come across as an unlikeable weasel.😆 I couldn't tell how some politician in a small town could have such far-reaching power. .....to the point where he had no other choice but to sacrifice himself just to protect people he loved? 🤔 Were they bound to catch him no matter where he fled with his family and gf? Didn't make sense to me. It's a very confusing series but I guess it's an attempt to create something unique/original.

I loved it, even tho the later episodes kinda dragged a little since it was a bit repetitive. I have never watched Tahir's work before and I felt he was so earnest in his performance, esp when he finds out Shikha died and in the confrontation scene before marriage. Surprisingly, i ended up feeling for Purva towards the end. She trusts him so much and believes he loves her for real :(

oh yes, the soundtrack is amazing! Sakhi Re ❤️

Is this a new show or old show ? Kitne episodes ?

i recently cancelled my netflix, so i can't remember how many episodes there were exactly but i'd say around 8, about 40 mins each. It's new, came out in 2022!

something tells me it's not your thing but let me know if I'm wrong. 😆

I watched it, like it... Specially it's commentary on the social hierarchy and the dark humour... The three leads and the two villians and Brijendra Kala are fabulous, but it does make you wanting more or making you feel, did I miss something and the beech mein I felt the pacing was slow.

But m hooked to the album, it's🔥🔥🔥

Well for new scripted shows I watch like 2. Or maybe 1.5 since 1 is 1 hour and 1 is 30 minutes 🤣

Other than that these days I just watch sports or reruns of older sitcoms I liked. Or multi part docu series about celebs 😆

But if this show has the juice I’ll give it a chance 😆
