Okay guys, here I am back again, with my take on last night's episode. And I am proud to say, I was impressed. I was impressed with the synchronicity, the direction of the episode, and with Surbhi. I for one liked the episode, and there were so many mysteries yet left to be unfolded. I know I am late, but there was so much talk going on already, so I thought let me watch the episode and then give my take later. So here it goes.
Highlights - Yayyy!😊
Synchronicity & Execution - So, one of my complaints episode wise has been the abruptness to every scene. They always transition just like whoosh, and we are left clueless ke aakhir hua kya boss? Confusion and illogicalness are the height of all episodes and the dullness of the story and some characters just contributed to the shoddy execution. So tonight, the episode was at its best. EK ka track record raha hai. Jab bhi shaadi ke scenes hote hai, tab hi uska direction aur screenplay behtar ho jaata hai for some reason. Khair I have no complaints, if marriage tracks and post-marriage tracks improve the story, direction, and screenplay, then I am game for it. Bas aise hi achche episodes dete rehna.
Surbhi's Naagin Avatar - Okay, so to begin with, when she started howling and crying for Jai, I was like, hey bhagwan, ab mujhko skip karna hi padega. But then, Bani jo form me aayi, it was superb. Surbhi nailed her first kill tonight as Bani. I would really call this her first kill because when she killed Arnish and Nitin, usme dum nahi tha. She looked very soft and dainty, like a Naagin princess. Tonight she was Adi Naagin - she justified her title as "Sarvashresth" and I am happy, very happy. This is the Surbhi I know. She displayed both emotions really well - ferocity to kill the man who killed her lover and pain that nothing changed, she again lost her love - which isn't true, because she is going to marry that man whom she doesn't love, but who loves her.
Naagin Pairs - You guys won't believe, just yesterday I was thinking that this Dahek And Mehek ki pairing to Bonky and Monil ke saath ho gayi, Daksh ka kya hoga? Tab mujhe laga, that this Aarohi will look good with Daksh. And man, what do I see? They are competing in the sangeet tonight. Like sahi hai. Ye season completely TVD, Pyaar ki Ye Ek Kahaani aur pata nahi kaunse direction me ja rahi hai. And apni Meera di to Tapish bhai ke liye set hai - just like I had assumed. Ye Cheelo ki setting ho gayi re, ab sach hoga ya nahi, woh dekhna padega. I am actually excited to watch Cheelvanshi and Nagavanshi camaraderie.
Highlights - Nayyy!👎🏼
Veer's OTT loafergiri - Isn't it already established that the bugger is a loafer. Why do they need to re-emphasize it all the time man? Andhere me paas kheechna tak samajh gayi, that he wanted to dance with her, but the latter part in front of everybody is harassment. Infact, in reality, what Veer does is harassment and eve-teasing, but that is passed on as romantic. There should be a line between flirting and harassment. Ritwik's flirting with Shivanya was cute, but this isn't cute anymore. I mean, can't they show different shades of Veer - like when he felt remorse, or like when he saved Bani. Those instances should be highlighted more since he has come in contact with light. But alas, this isn't the last of what we have seen. Now I guess we will have manhandling and more harassment.
OTT Mathur Family drama - This dadi needs to take a break from social functions if she hyperventilates at the drop of a hat. She is the most OTT, after Aarohi. Aarohi takes the cake, baker, and bakery in the OTT drama department. Thankfully, for some time we will not be getting to see them.
Bani's OTT bahu drama - Like really Bani, chai achcha banati hu, head massage and all, what was that dude? Kuch jyaada hi cheesy aur unwanted tha woh scene. I am sorry, it was a turn off for me. Like really.🤔
Observations:
What kind of Nag is Jai? The bugger can't defend himself, always needs Naagin security, gets kidnapped easily, and thrown off a cliff more easily. Ye tumhare extra Nag perceptions jo hai, Daksh ki tarah, woh kis kaam ke munna, agar tum fight hi nahi karoge khud kay liye. Tum aur Naina kya ek hi jamaat ke chatte batte ho kya? Haaye ye kaise Nag naagin hai re. Even Vikrant's death evoked sympathy for Ruhi. And that murder was also premeditated and did not look like one. But this is so evident that this was effortlessly premeditated. Lights go off and Jai walks off the stage, moments later Twin Bhai is released from his room like he was waiting for this to happen. Jai's instincts warn him of danger, but he is easily kidnapped, tied, and thrown down a cliff. Twin Bhai seemed to read lines given to him to prove that, "Yes, I am Veer and I am killing you so you can stay away from Bani", to reinforce Bani's hate. Twin Veer says that I killed him because he angered me. Dude, he was unconscious, how did he anger you? Creatives, kuch to effort dala hota dikhane me ki haaye, Jai mar gaya re. Lekin nahi, it is so evident that it was pre-planned that when Bani was howling for Jai, then I was like, "Behen, ruk jao, itna haaoo haaoo mat karo, beta kuch din me hi sarakta hua laut aayega".
Twin Bhai seems to not really like Veer, in my opinion. Veer lives the life which Twin Bhai should be living. But Papa Singhania keeps him under lock and key cause he is destined to die at the hands of Adi Naagin. So it could be that Twin Bhai and Jai concoct a scheme to eliminate both Bani and Veer, without touching them. Create a situation where both of them would want to kill each other - Veer for Twin Bhai and Bani for Jai. Jai gets his hands on Nagmani and Twin Bhai becomes Cheelraj. Happy ending. But noooooooooooo, aisa hone nahi wala. Veer is angry, but not so much to kill Bani. He is Aakesh you see, he can die for her but never kill her. And Bani wants to kill Veer, but she will not be able to, cause living under the same roof, she will know things which she doesn't know till now. I am sure he hasn't died either. He will return along with Jai. I think even Cheelraj isn't a true villain. It's just that he is doing crimes to protect the wrong son. If my assumptions are correct, this Twin Bhai will wreak havoc on his family when the time comes, because he does not feel remorse or any feeling. And then they will understand the value of Veer, who genuinely feels for this family. So we have two villains - evil twin Cheel and an Evil Naag Jai. Good. I like it.
Strangely, what I cannot figure from the precap is, Veer, your brother was a cheel, how can a human girl just kill him like that? I mean isn't that common sense? How idiotic can he get? Or is this marriage a plan to know about Bani's identity? Why do I get the feeling that this marriage is more to protect Bani than to avenge Bani. I am not saying Veer won't avenge Bani, but that is only for him to do in private. Kyunki jahaan tak I know him, Veer will never let anyone else know Bani did this. And neither Naagin bit Twin Bhai for them to suspect, Adi Naagin did it. It could easily be passed off as an accident. And Singhanias will hide it for sure because no one knows about this twin's existence. Now I understand what that leaked script meant when they were talking about "Gunahagaron" and "Pehli Kisht" and all. When I re-read the script again on Twitter last morning, then I understood, that ye to gusse wali shaadi hai boss, pyaar wali nahi. Bani goes ahead with this marriage because firstly, she has nothing in life to look forward to with Jai's death, except killing Veer. Secondly, she will feel she killed an innocent person, so somewhere she will have guilt and let Veer do what he does. And finally, Meera di gets saved from Veer, and Tapish marries her to protect her reputation.
Kahaan tha na maine, ye Singhanias ki Ayodhya hai, jahaan Mithila ke Sharma sisters hi bahu banengi. Kitna twisted Ramayan dikha rahe hai ye log. Phir jab Papa Cheel ki pol khulegi, Veer and Bani will leave the family. And tab ye romanchak villains aayenge Cheelo ka khoon peene. Tab ye Cheel Veer aur uski Naagin biwi bachayenge sabko. Dusro ka pata nahi, but mujhe to bahut mazaa aa raha hai ye season dekh ke. Satyug ki kahaani, Kalyug me ulat gayi hai. Cheel ki maut nahi, usse shaadi ho rahi hai. To dekha jaaye, that Bani's oath, "Main tere vansh ka sarvanaash kar dungi", ye hone wala hai nahi. I think aage jaake, itihaas will change, kyunki pehli baar Adi Naagin hi Cheelo ki family ko protect karte huye nazar aayegi.
Ok, enough of my ranting. That was my take. Now, please share your views, people.😊
