So people, this week I am back to my regular double-take reviews of the weekend. Overall, a mysterious and heartwarming weekend. It had good and bad, but overall I can say that Saturday and Sunday were balanced. There was consistency in overall both episodes. So here goes my take.
Highlights - Yayyy!!!👍🏼
Bani's expressions - Thanks to our dear sweet lord, cause finally there was a change of expressions. I mean dude, that woman has hounded us with her same angry expressions for 3 months, 3 months. I can't even sustain with the same expressions for 3 seconds, how can Bani manage man. Khair, thankfully madam ji ke tevar badle, expression badle. Normal expressions aane lage hai. Har episode me jo sada hua sa muh banake ghum rahi hoti hai, wahi dekh ke maut aa jaati thi. Woh kya kisi ko dasegi, apne expressions se hi qatl karde maata ji, mood ka bhi aur sentiment ka bhi. Khair, I was pleased. Very pleased.
Bani ki Chaud! - Chaud ka agar koi poster girl hai woh hai - Bani Sadma😆. I mean iss bandi se kuch ho ya na ho, iss bandi ka chaud nahi jaata. Adi Naagin na huyi, gali ke gunde mawali type ke dialogue likh dete hai ye log. "Kaun aayega pehle, batao,kisko pehle marna hai", "Mujhko kisi ki zarurat nahi, main inko sambhal sakti hu". Like dude, ye bakloli iski jaati kyun nahi hai🤪. I get it ki usko darr nahi lagta, and woh muhphat hai, direct hai. Infact, usse better enemy kisi ko nahi milega, jo muh be bole, main tum logo ko thokna chahti hu😆. Lekin entertaining hota hai btw. I mean hassi aati hai aajkal iski chaud dekh kar. I am like, shukr mana ki tera pati Cheel Rajkumar hai, warna teri chaud ki aisi ki taisi ho jaani thi, behen.🤣
Markaat urf Cobra Amma - Matbal chal kya raha hai. Kis kis ki maa hai ye. Pura, "iski maa ka, uski maa ka", wala scene hai bhai ye😆. Ab samajh me aaya Jai ko itne phadphadane ka shauk kaha se paida hua.😆Iski Cobra Amma ko bhi hai na, isiliye. Jo mahamurkh aurat Shivji se chaand maang le, uski vanity ki height to hogi hi. Chaand se chehre ko Amaavas ka chand bana dala Shivji ne bhi.🤣 Ye ghamand, chaud, viraasat me mili hai mendhak ko bhi🤣Aur dressing sense dekha Cobra amma ka, ekdum, "bindiya chamkegi, choodi khankegi"😉 wala isshtyle hai😆. Wahi Mohammed Rafi ka gaana yaad aa gaya iss Jai urf Hriday ki amma ko dekh ke, "Kaan me jhumka, chaal me thumka, kamar pe choti latke."🤣
Veeranshu was awwwwww - Iss bande se koi pyaar kaise nahi kar sakta yaar. He is so cute❤️. Bilkul "mumma's boy" hai ye. Thank god Veeranshu ke sanki side ke ilawa ek emotional side bhi hai. Kyunki mujhko lagta tha, that he suppresses his emotions a lot. Sab hasi me uda dene wala. And reasoning bhi yahi hai. He lost his mom when he was young, and that pain must have been tremendous, which is why laughing and joking off everything is the best defense mechanism for him. It is his way of diverting the pain off somewhere else. So I get where he is coming from. I just saw that the young child within him has returned inside him who was lost as his mother was lost. And also he has turned into the man, he actually is. No more curtains on his real personality. The joker, fool that he plays was a facade, which I always knew. But this guy, is the guy who Veeranshu is. The one who loves his mother so much. The one who loves Bani enough to let her go. The one who does not overwhelm her anymore, because she chose to stay with him, in his house.
Highlights - Nayyy!!!👎🏼
Inconsistent Character Arcs and Overlapping - I don't get why they do this. Story kisi ek bande ko lekar to hai nahi. Sab milke story banate hai. Then why do they spoil characters? First, overnight they turned Monil into a rapist, which wasn't necessary. They had stuck to Shukla's boys and Bani killed them, fair enough. Monil could have been killed by showing some other reason too like Teer was killed. Manipulated, trapped, and killed, and suspicions could have been pinned on Bani, cause she is the explicit enemy of the Cheels. To enhance the aura of the mystery villain. Now they are overlapping his character with Daksh. Daksh was never a despo womanizer. Yes, he was flirty, he was mastikhor, maujkhor, but he was also serious, sharp, and sober after Veeranshu and Tapish. Why are they turning him into Monil, when he is very capable of being Veeranshu's second arm after Tapish? And Tapish, why isn't he used more often? Why is he absent so often from scenes? Especially the parties of Singhanias. Ussi time pe kahin nahi dikhta, baaki time dikhta hai. Veeranshu aur Tapish ke scenes jyaada kyun nahi hote? They are brothers, right. The only character arc I am satisfied with is Meera, who is more than just a subdued woman. I hope they maintain that consistency with her. Baaki Ponky, Dehek, Mehek, I am not bothered. Infact, teeno ko hi thok do yaar. Meri bala se.
Inconsistent Story Flow - I have no problem with the progression, but the story flow is so inconsistent, ki loopholes reh hi jaate hai. And this is not just me, this is something we all have collectively felt. I think Veeranshu remembering Aakesh should have been a tad bit more dramatic, instead all the drama was focused on the Kaalganak, which turned out to be useless. Bani's Naagin identity revelation put into the mix mellowed down the entire sequence. It should have been kept separate. Mayuri deserved a dignified death if she died at all. Neither she was revealed as morni. I mean when Jai and Bani remembered their past, it was shown in one episode, there wasn't any overlapping. Coming to the landmine blast episode, when Bani was recalling Veeranshu's good deeds, they showed the tempo blast, which she did not know about, so how can she recall that? And Satyug ke story details, woh kabhi pata bhi chalegi ya nahi, who knows. Itna confusion hai Kalyug ka jiska solution Satyug me hi hai, lekin ye log Satyug ke random scenes bhi nahi dikhate.
Observations:
See, overall it has been established that Meera is positive. All the hints were very deliberate and looked like jaanbujh kar uss bachchi pe dala ja raha hai, jaise forumwaasi daal dete hai😆. Har cheez ka thekra uss par phutta hai, lekin aisa nahi hai. She is not under any control of Cobra Amma, she is just normal, doing normal things, being overemphasized as negative to keep Adi Naagin's nemesis identity under wraps. Period.
Additionally, as I had mentioned Bani brought her family there for the reasons I had guessed. She needs a reliable but neutral vision to understand who is and who isn't the enemy. As a Naagin, she can only see them as enemies, but humans could have a different POV. But mujhko ek baat batao, Chachi, OMG twins, do they even have the sensibility that Bani is seeking? I think only Meera di has. She was the one who saw the good in Veeranshu. So, I am not sure, kitna help kar payengi ye OMG twins and Chachi. But yes, they can tell how their natures are, as in Ponky and Daksh, the senior Singhanias and how they function so that Bani knows how to tackle them accordingly.
Markaat or Mrityu ke Devta is still out there. But what is most surprising is, Devta ka punarjanam bhi hota hai? Ye kya logic hai be, that Cobra Amma convinced the Cheels she is Markaat by using a male baritone voice. Which deity needs to convince their followers that he or she is their deity?? Aur koi bhi muh uthake Markaat ban jayega kya? Ya Cheels ke Mrityu ke devta har yug me badalte hai. I mean mytho stories me hota hai ki Saptarishi, Devraj, Adityas, Ashtavasus, har yug me badalte hai, lekin Naagin show me mytho ki koi consistency nahi hai, kyunki ek hi devta hai woh hai Bholenath. And they don't follow mytho. Cheel to burbak hai ye pata hai, lekin Markaat ko kaha chupa diya?? I mean dude, woh devta hai. Aise kaise koi bhi uski jagah le sakta hai. Kahin to hoga, kahaan hai asli devta inn Cheelo ke?
Makers, please ab to Satyug ke scenes daalo beech beech me. Kyunki agar ye Jai ki Cobra amma hai, to Hriday ki bhi cobra amma thi. Infact, ye prove karta hai that na Hriday itna saaf character tha, aur Jai to aur bhi nahi hai. Aur jiss plane crash se ye tapka tha, waha se iski Cobra amma udd gayi thi kya???😆Hadh hai yaar. Khair, ab to aur bhi zaruri hai Satyug ke clarity ki, warna bahut confusion badta hai.
Dungeon maiyya is not Veeranshu, Teer, or Tapish's mother. I think Balwant secured a deal with her to make the Cheels powerful and rich and married her for the same reason. She isn't their birth mother for sure. And when he realized this woman will harm his children, Balwant locked her up. Cause Balwant literally hid behind Pawan when he saw the woman enter with Veeranshu. Balwant is grey, but no villain. He has a strong reason to fear this woman. Maybe he knows she is a powerful sorceress and not that she is Cobra Amma urf Markaat. Or maybe he knows she is Markaat. Because I firmly believe she is Markaat Amma. But going by how big dorks these Cheels are, I would stick to the former. Balwant knows things about her. And instead of growling his lungs out, he needs to find a better way to communicate his dilemma to his sons.
But Balwant bhaisaab ki jo Chachi ne bajai hai by God🤣. Kahaan jaaye aur kiss taraf ghume woh bechara.😆 Matlab, usko jagah dhundni padti hai bhaagne ki.😆Ek Bani kam thi, jo aur auratein ghus gayi ghar me nani yaad dilane ke liye.😆I was wrong, Balwant bhaisaab ke karmo ka fal Tapish nahi, Chachi ji hai.🤣@deepikagupta, inka couple name bana, Baleera ko chod.🤣. I think BalChi would be nice.🤣
Well, that's enough of me ranting for tonight. Please share your views, comments, theories.😆😊
