Ok so I will say this the second episode was incredible too & well executed.I liked Surbhi's entry as Baani(that's her name perhaps as far as I can memorize) & her face took me to the days of the fiesty Anika of Ishqbaaz.Her handling of the snake as the reincarnated Baani aka Naageshwari of that Black snake was quite funny & amazing to say the least.There was an air sequence scene-Thandi hawa ka jhoka scene between her & Jay Mathur of Mathur Company(Mohit's character).
I don't know whether to call it a quirk of fate or good luck charm perhaps-there are 2 Mohits in the show.1 Mohit is Hriday & the other one is reincarnated as Jay Mathur.Anyway getting back to Jay Mathur his entry was good but not that grand compared to Sharad's character.This is not to demean his character but both Jay & Baani reminded me of Brinda and Dev.Baani it seems is just an orphan in her household leading a Cindrella type lifestyle only to be swayed off her feet by Jay.That Anika factor was missing in her bcoz perhaps the characters of both Anika & Baani are different with one common trait-both came from the lower strata of society & are orphans.
I will dwell on Sharad's part later.I know this reincarted Mohit since from the days of Miley Jab Hum Tum.I don't know how many of u have watched those college drama MJHT but its 2 characters Mayank & Samrat are part of the Naagin franchise today.Mohit's character Samrat was like a breathe of fresh air.Flamboyant charming & cool he had the girls of Excel college within the palm of his hand.That's why Sharad' entry on that super-gizmo bike reminded me of Samrat today.
Yes Jay's character is much different from the old Samrat but Sharad's character somewhat filled that gap today.I have seen another topic on the forum regarding Sharad's character & I will say he aced the villain part today.Its an amazing transformation from the days of Kasam Tere Pyaar Ki.
Infact I would have had no issue in him being paired up with Baani had Jay not been the fated lover.But Sharad's character is the villain here so perhaps N5 fans won't root for his pairing with Baani .
Hope both the 3 actors deliver outstanding performances & continue to impress the viewers which would get reflected on the TRP ratings.
PS: I would like to see shades of old Samrat/Sammy in Jay Mathur.Enough of Goody-Goody image.Can't he have his own signature identity?
@bold are you kidding us? I’ve been a naagin fan since season 1 and I still ship the Naagin with the cheel even if he’s the villain. I like the villain more than the hero in this season so I’m rooting for him.
