Okay, so fellas, I am back with my weekend review of Naagin, and I must say, I enjoyed Sunday night's episode very much. It was so good, that I just don't want to explain it one sentence here, but in more detail. So here it goes:
Highlights - Yayyy!šš¼
Episode Direction & Editing - And this is for the Sunday episode. I am sorry, but the Saturday episode was very weird. The editing and VFX were terrible and the episode, in general, was very thanda. I did not like the Saturday episode as much, only the VAni moments were good, otherwise I was not pleased at all. On Sunday, the episode was on a roll. And mostly because Veeranshu Singhania stole the show as the most cunning, and sly Cheel. I was all applauds for this guy. I have never seen a hero moving from strength to strength in episodes. This guy is just too good. And the episode was seamless - Veer's trap, Bani's resurrected mind, crafty Jai, oblivious Cheel family. Oh man, I was very very impressed. Hats off to Ranjan sir for such a fabulously directed episode and all my prayers for his speedy recovery.
Bani and Veer in form - Isse na sangat ka asar kehte haiš. Cheelo ke saath reh reh kar iss bandi ka mara hua dimaag phir se zinda ho raha hai. Aur pati ka dimaag aisa ho to bhai biwi ko bhi dimaag lagana padta hai kabhi na kabhi. I mean Bani ko yaad aaya that if she kills an innocent she loses her ability to mask herself, which takes her to the cave, and she joins to dots to realize that someone from among the Cheels has killed Teer, and she hasn't. But this is going to be a hard task to prove who did it. She knows Veer cannot, but that leaves an entire family, from which she has to scour out Shukla. Essentially, she should start with Mayuri, ussi ke zariye she can reach the rest. Coming to Veer. Matlab bow down to this guy. He is the first Naagin hero whom I seem to like even more than Ritik. I mean Ritik was charming, sweet, and decent. And then we have Veer who is crafty, sly, and devious. This man loves Bani, but he isn't blind. He knows she is different, just like he and his family are, but he is still trying to figure her out. Well, God knows when will this cat and mouse game end, but I am sure for one thing that when Veer says na ki "Main nafrat karta hoon" blah blah se, uska kuch aur hi rang dekhne ko milta hai. He hates Bani, but look at the guy, he always finds ways to keep her close to him. He says he hates shape-shifting serpents and he will punish Jai, but Bani, nah boss. Tumse na ho payega, bhul jao. He will be hurt and angry just like in Teer's case, but won't be able to hurt her or allow others to do the same.
Hair tucking moment - Jab bhi Veer Bani ke hair lock ko tuck karne jaata hai, baar baar Bani rok deti hai, chhuna mat mujhko bolkar. But Saturday ko Veer ko chance mil gaya dance karte waqt. He tucked her hair and then he said, "Now, I am happy", when she asked him, "ab khushi ho tum" for not looking into his eyes. That was a subtly cute moment. Also, the one on Sunday when she calls him "Veer", he likes it. Like these small moments make Veer and Bani, VAni. it was "awwww".
Highlights - Nayyy!šš¼
Morni and Magarmach - Koi mujhko samjhao ke bhaiyya ho kya raha tha Saturday ko? Nag me morni, morni me nag. What happened to the VFX team? When she is Mayuri, they should have shown her morni skin, uss par Jai ka skin chada diya. Then when Jai was transforming, achanak se kahaan se mor pankh udd ke aaya, and he becomes a Mor. What the hell was going on. Ye Cheelo ke ghar me roz ka jungle kaand kaise hote hai be. Thoda to, thoda sa logic maintain ho sakta hai ya woh bhi nahi. Kya chal kya raha tha woh, no one knows.
Jai's assholery - Ye "Boss" banega. Munna tujhko banana hota na to Bholenath hi banate tujhko. Lekin tune khud saabit kiya hai ki tu kisi layak nahi hai. Jo tha,woh bhi haath se chala gaya. Ab innocent logo ki bajaye ja raha hai for fun. Like it makes no sense. Aur ye Shukla aur Mayuri ka boss banega. Waah! Iss chomucharan ko bachane ke liye, Bani argue karti hai, badtameezi karti hai, aur hum logo ko sehna padta hai. Veer kaise jhelta hai iss ladki ko yaar. Sahi kehta hai Veer, woh pehle bhi dasta tha, ab bhi dasega. Bas Bani ko kab samajh aayega ye to Shiv ji jaane. Lekin jab aayega, tab mujhko dekhna hai ki behen karti kya hai? Jinko dushman samajhti hai unke saath rishte kaise badalte hai,aur jinhone dosti ke naam pe dushmani nibhayi hai unke saath kya karti hai.
Observations:
I have many to give here:
Number one, what makes Jai think that he can outsmart Veer. Aaj saabit ho gaya that whenever Jai will try to sabotage Bani in any way, he will himself fall in that trap, and he will have to face Veer. Veer specifically laid that trap for Bani, but Bani used her mind and devotion to Bholenath to come out of it unscathed. But Jai, he is a bum. He thinks he is very smart, but he proved it today he is useless. All he can do is make useless plans, vent out his frustration, and do nothing. In the meantime, Bani is getting closer to the truth and Veer is playing the death card for him. Bloody sore loser this Jai is.
Number two, Jai is such a moron. Dude, you can see you have lost your ability to mask yourself. Why head on a killing spree? Just for the heck of it. I mean uss par Brahma hatya ka dosh hai, which has diminished his strengths and he is continuously toying with his powers. I mean even Shesha and Vishakha killed people, but I never found them so irritating as much as I find him.
Number three, Bani should really give her baseless arguments with Veer a break. Is she stupid or something. You can sense the man can see your game and you are continuously pushing him, taunting him, and toying with him for Jai??? What is wrong with her? You are guilty. You killed an innocent man for Jai. You should shut the f**k up. But no, her audacity is limitless. This is just taking undue advantage of Veer's limits. Hope next week, we can see some sense driven into her.
Number four, ye Markat shaitaan to bade thali ke baingan hai yaar. Bani dushman vansh se hai phir bhi he gave her access to Teer's coffin? Ye kya game khel raha hai be. Sabko bech khayega kya ye. Sabko use kar raha hai. Shukla ko, Bani ko, Cheel family ko. Ye kaisa devta hai. Aur, Bani behen tum to Naagvanshi ho na, to tumko kaise pata ki Mrityu ke Devta ki puja kaise hoti hai, kaunse mantra bole jaate hai? Hum sab yahaan burbak nahi hai. Hamare brains ko thoda credit dekar dhang ki cheeze dikhao na yaar?
Number five, Rudraksh ka Mayajaal. Waah. Naam sunte hi lagta hai pata nahi kya top hai. But koi mujhko ye samjhao, jo Markat Shaitaan ki puja karte ho, unko Rudraksh kaise mil jaata hai. Bholenath to Naagvanshi ke ishtdev hai, to rudraksh Cheel kaise use ya touch karte hai. Now you will tell me, normal human wala angle hoga. Lekin agar aisi baat hai, to normal human jaise khaana khaye, ye log to khana sunke aise baukhla gaye the, jaise bahut hi bada paap kar liya ho.
Number six, ye Veer ki akal jo dushman ke mamle me itni pharrate se chalti hai, woh family ke mamle me band kyun ho jati hai be? Miyan biwi ek jaise hai. Apno ke mamle me andhe. Kya bola woh Tapish ko? Aap ko keh raha hu, kyunki aap raaz rakhna jante ho.Waah beta. Jab pata chalega na, ki kya kya raaz rakha hai Tapish "bhai" ne tab dekhungi kya hota hai. Ahili ke language me "Aatank hi Aatank".š
And lastly, precap was fun, but I am sure dhaabewala will survive. If Shukla and Mayuri cannot, then Bani will try. But my bets are on Mayuri and Shukla. They will save him in all probability. I am assuming issi jungle kaand ke baad Bani ko pata chalega. She is real close, like real close, so I think we can look forward to Jai's revelation to Bani as well as Shukla and Mayuri.
Okay, ye akhri hai, kisi ne ye notice kiya that pura scene aise laga jaise saara Cheel khandaan Jai ko gher ke maar raha ho Bani ko protect karne liye. Like Veer ne Bani ko upar band kar diya Jai se akele deal karne ke liye and pura khandaan jut gaya Jai ke puch ko dabochne ke liye. Mujhko aisa sachmuch laga. See, we are aware of Jai being villain, but Bani isn't. But indirectly, the scene developed into something like Veer and family protecting Bani from Jai's devious schemes, instead of trying to punish him for Ponky's state and Teer as well. I hope aisa kuch Bani ke liye aage jaake kare ya dikhaye. Pura "awwwwww" wala moment ho jayega.
Anyway, that's enough of my ranting. Let's hear out your comments!
