Somewhat Disappointed with First Episode

So for now a short review because there is quite a bit that's good about this episode and my review would just have been all pleasantries.

One thing I'm really disappointed with is how Parag Tyagi was shown as a beast. That beast was not very "scary" and realistic.

Also I felt like everything was going too fast for the first episode.

But other than that a great first episode and hopefully, being a finite series, I hope the show runs well.

I agree .
Add to that the fact that there are some typical Ek-ish things in the show.
Loved Aham-Krystal chemistry though.
Raina comes across as a very sweet happy go lucky girl, but she knows some thing and the petrified eye locks she and Mohini shraed during the whole Bramharakshas conversation indicates towards that.

They have not got the concept of Brahmarakshsas correctly first of all.
Parag Tyagi is a good actor but this role is not suiting him. He is not scary at all instead I felt it as funny. Suspence factor is lagging.
The saving grace is actually Krystle and Aham's performance and onscreen presence. They have a good chemistry.
Plus Kishwer did a good job.

They should have casted someone hotter as the beast...and the show should have been about the beast and Krystle like the Disney movie Beauty and the Beast

@ AnnaPaquinFan: After over 10 years I've actually ventured back to an EK show. And I hope, plead, pray that this show does not go down the typical EK path. Because those who know me, know what a disliking I have for EK shows. So for me this is a real change.

@ romaila: I would rather hold expectations and be disappointed. Especially with these new off-the-beat shows cropping up, like this, Nagarjun, Naagin, etc.

@ aadi720, Az07: But that's just it naa! It's not even just the costume. It's like Az07 said. Parag Tyagi is just not scary. I read an article where they said they were considering Nikitin Dheer, Chetan Hansraj, and Rahul Dev for this role. Those actors are the ones that can really be scary, no matter what the costume. Parag Tyagi was just not convincing. When the beast came on screen I should have been scared, frightened, like that couple, but I was bored. Seriously bored out of my mind. Even Sanjeev Kumar in Jaani Dushman had a scarier costume and feel.

@ arshi_arvi: I feel it's too early to comment on the plot. Because every article said that the show is a remake of Jaani Dushman with some Beauty and the Beast plot points. But one thing to remember is that this EK. And if there's one thing about EK that's predictable is that how quickly her shows falls off the original script.

agree with u the brahmrakshas isn't scary .
i didn't felt the plot is developing so fast for the first episode as this is only the introduction of the Brahmrakshas and the whole fact beyond his transformation from a human to beast. so we've to wait and watch till the story unfolds more and we get to see how the leads life will be affected by this BR.

Hey!!! Remember me??😆
Okay now coming to the topic,I agree with you.Parag Tyagi is a complete misfit as the Brahmarakshas.Somehow I find him to be funny rather than scary.Chetan or Nikitin would have been better choices.

Secondly,after watching the second episode,I am not impressed with the Brahmarakshas at all.The look and costume is OTT.And the dialogues too.

Thirdly,they have got the concept of Brahmarakshas wrong.

The only saving grace is Aham and Krystal's chemistry.Those two make a sizzling couple.
Actually I would have preferred it to be like Beauty and the Beast where Aham played the Beast.
