To me, it was an entertaining episode. I laughed multiple times at the absurdity of some stuff but overall, found it a pretty decently entertaining episode.
Some points -
1. I think we need another ship for Veer-Jay tashan. They are hilarious! 😆 The way Jay just decided to pack his bags and enter the mansion, then their one liners to each (especially Veer with his bin maange dahej, champak, chomu etc.). There came a point where Surbhi almost smiled but covered up in time when they were calling each other names at the doorway 🤣
It brought much needed comic relief after the intensity and revelations of Sunday.
2. Another point of comic relief - Bani’s open war with the Cheels. Her slowly slicing the apples while all around are shit scared and a blissful Veer just basking in his newfound knowledge. The scene was meant to be funny and it was 😆
3. Ab toh viewers ko bhi clear ho gaya ki Bani deliberately confused banayi gayi hai. It can’t be a script issue because as Annie pointed out - usne 2 min pehle kaha Veer ko shaadi zabardasti ki usne and then quickly changed it to “meri marzi thi yeh shaadi” 😆 Abhi toh Veer ne kuch nahi kaha but pakdega usko kuch episodes mein on this confusion of hers when she annoys him too much.
4. Bani literally listed down the reasons she wants to kill the Cheels. And her points seemed valid to me:
1) Satyug ki dushmani
2) Noor ki death (and later revelation that Monil actually raped her before killing her)
3) The crimes they are committing in this lifetime - which Bani has been a witness to. Trafficking of women is not a small thing to ignore.
These reasons are enough for her revenge track to start. Naagin hai woh yaar! Due process of law thodi na follow karegi. These deeds are horrendous enough to tapkaofy the Cheels involved.
5. Adding to the previous point, she decided to keep Veer out of her revenge wali list. As I said in a previous
post, Bani no longer wants to kill Veer. His saving her in her childhood provided the strong excuse she needed to back out of this. Dil nahi maan raha tha uska and she really struggled with her feelings. Now she has the reason to not kill him and will stick to it, despite her pravachans to the deity. Veer is true, she knows that in her heart. But hool dena bhi zaroori hai as per her character 😆
6. Build up ho raha to VAni romance. The sole reason Veer Bani aren’t getting any lone moment in the show is because the intensity is going to be ramped up in coming episodes. Bani was blushing even in scenes involving others, so I can only imagine that there are a lot of romantic VAni scenes coming now that things are out in the open. The stage is being set right now (at jet speed) and uske sab se bade players aage episodes mein utrenge screen mein aage lagane 🔥
7. Finally pahaunch gayi Bani Veer ki Mom ke paas. Through a sinkhole hi sahi but atleast we won’t have to hear that awful moaning noise anymore 😆 Karo rescue asli villain ko. Humko toh maza hi aayega.
8. They kept it open ended as to whether Mayuri died or not. It’s possible that Swardha may enter the show again. Loophole dal diya hai show mein. It could be that Jay saved her and now she is biding her time. Mayuri as a character still has scope as per me. She was entertaining for sure.
Excited for the next week and all that pent up VAni romance to culminate onscreen
