I don't know why, but I'm getting major Pyaar Ki Yeh Ek Kahaani vibes from the show, especially when Veer is on the screen. In Pyaar Ki Yeh Ek Kahaani, I remember when the promos were on air, I didn't like Vivian at all as Abhay. I never thought he'll be able to match Robert Pattinson at all but as the show started, I was the biggest fan of the show. Similarly, I started watching Naagin 5 just for making fun and jokes on ridiculous scenes and when I found out Sharad is going to play the lead, I was like Oh No! Because I felt Sharad could only do justice to comic roles like Rishi after watching initial episodes of Kasam. But boy! Sharad is the best part in Naagin 5. He's simply brilliant as Veer. The complaint I have from Indian TV shows that the male leads are merely props and had no presence of their own. I can remember only Mohan Bhatnagar of Na Bole Tum Naa Maine Kuchh Kaha and Abhay Raichand of PYKYEK (I'm not including non-mainstream shows like Adaalat and CID) being the only memorable male leads. But if CVs don't manage to ruin Veer and make him a bechara husband, Veer has the potential to be a memorable male lead. I sometimes feel bad for male actors in TV because despite being brilliant and charismatic, they have to always play a damsel in distress waiting to be rescued by sarvaguna sampanna heroine. As for Jai, I feel he's not as simple a boy next door. Mohit is a bit awkward now but I hope he shines again as he did as Samrat in MJHT. Surabhi is OK-OK, though not in league with Mouni Roy and Adaa Khan. I still feel though Veer is a cheel in this birth, he'll be revealed as Hriday because in Wiki of Sharad, they are showing Sharad to be playing the role of Snake king. Lastly, I'm very happy there are no women in Veer's family. So no saas Bahu drama in Naagin 5.
So, if you were CVs, how will you like Naagin 5 to proceed?
