I hope forum ka aur aapke bhejo ka taapman sthitigat ho gaya ho.🤣Well, jyaada aap logo ke tale huye bhejo ko na chaat kar seedha point pe aati hu. Iss season ka trend sa ban gaya hai ki har Saturday ko bakwaasi aur Sunday ko shabaashi dene ka mann karta hai makers ko😆. Mujhko sachmuch nahi pata kyun. Khair, getting on with my review, here we go,
Highlights - Yayyy!!!👍🏼
VAni progression - Yes, I truly happy about how their relationship has progressed. From empty threats, futile arguments, and blame game👎🏼, we now have nok jhok, daat phatkaar, and trust👍🏼. I like their equation. It's completely their relationship, in which only they know how they function and act and react, and both know the reasoning behind the action. It is slow, it is steady and it is growing. I like it this way. I know many had complaints about Bani's behavior with Veeranshu. I have none. They are married, their equation is theirs, any normal onlooker will find it weird or deplorable, but when we don't have knowledge about something, we initially do find that weird, but I would say just look at them from their perspective, VAni perspective, and you will understand what I am implying. If you see from my POV, then "Don't touch me" se safar shuru hua tha, and now madam not only comfortably sat on his lap without abusing but also let Veeranshu do his favorite thing😆, push her hair locks behind her ears. What I also loved is Bani is hesitant yet she rests her head on his.❤️
Especially, when she let Veer put his head on her lap. She gave those side looks but nonetheless let him stay instead of screeching like an owl. She almost was reminds me of Rabbit from Winnie the Pooh who is always so irritated with Tigger. I always felt so bad for Tigger when Rabbit gets all puffed up at him bein his jolly self. 😆
Veeranshu's tactics - Veeranshu is always crazy and zany on the outside, but his style of executing any work is smooth and easy. Be it as a prince or a husband. As a prince, he calmly recruits Daksh to watch over Chandrakala, without creating a fuss like Bani who would rather go and sleep beside Chandrakala herself.🤣 And as a husband, he wants to stick by her side, because Bani actually does not know how to take it easy. And I am amazed at how Veeranshu always knows what Bani needs when. He knows when she needs to calm herself down, he knows when Bani needs to just shut up because I am falling short of a word here😆 and he trusts her completely. He like inherently knows, Bani will never ever lie. He listens to her, analyses in his mind, and acts accordingly. His subtlety is his asset, whereas our Bani is more brash than the word itself.
Veer knows ki panic karke and dimag garam karke kaam toh hoga nahi. The reason why he seem like he's actually a Cheel is because of how he seems right in that animalistic character. Dekho, samjho phir decide karo. His foresight is stronger than Bani's and that's what makes him more than just a pretty boy next to Bani. Not trying to be offensive at all but Mahir and other male leads in Naagin almost come off as just pretty boys next to their Naagins. That's what i think but Veer comes off as something more than that. A proper counterpart to Bani. He's good at completing what Bani lacks. Zindagi mein thoda relax hona bhi zaroori hai. He's a good leader because rather than doing all the work himself and then going beserk when it doesn't go his planned way, he distributes work and knows when and how to tackle it himself.
Jai's honesty and contrast to Veeranshu - Jai lusts for power and is a very insecure man. Also, he has another issue. He demands complete trust and submission, but submission to dur, he cannot even trust his supposed counterpart Bani???😲 I liked the way that he is out in the open and still claiming that he is no saint. He is in their team as long as Chandrakala is on loose, cause she is a threat to everyone. And then everything is back to square one, he will be out there to get what he believes is rightfully his. Bahut hi "The Originals" wala vibe tha iss scene me, when Jai boldly claimed to take what is his before Bani. But dude, have you earned it. I mean, I feel even Bani hasn't earned her title of "Sarvashresth" yet, to tu to bahut dur ki baat hai. Coming to contrast with Veeranshu, Veeranshu considers Bani his equal and trusts her completely. He knows she has a reason to say things but has no evidence to support it. No wonder, Bani leans on Veeranshu for support and not him. He does not even trust her on something so major about his mother, even after knowing what she is capable of.
Not to mention ki he's quite a hypocrite. Baat kar raha hai ki use Tapish ke baat par yakin nahi hai but woh konsa bohot bharose ke laayak hai. Khud bhi toh dhokebaaz hai. Kisi aur ko kya point out kar raha hai. Usne khud Shukla ka use kiya hai aur abh keh raha hai ki Veer ke pariwaar wale kaatil hai. Jaise usne toh bohot logo ki jaan bachayi hai. He wants Bani to trust him but gives her no reason to. Yeh toh pata nahi ki usne itna bada chance kaise liya Jay pe to save her family who are just humans. Dikh raha hai ki kitna top floor khali hai Bani ka. Pehle kehti hai Jay pe yaakin hi nahi then proceeds to give him the responsibility of saving her family. Kis basis pe behen?? Matlab I would have understood if there was some of the angle ki he likes someone in her family that would bother to save them for her but aisa bhi kuch hai nahi. Confusing as hell 😕
Chandrakala Singhania - This woman is a thing huh!. Matlab kaise naach rahi thi Gupt movie ke background score pe🤣I mean aise hi nach nach ke Jai ke baap ko phasaya tha kya be???🤣Matlab rangile mizaaj the, "MAAAAAAAAAAAAARKAAT" ke.😆Coming to her, she is proving to be a formidable opponent to Bani, thanks to Bani's impulsive, curious, hasty nature complimented with an empty skull🤔. Arre behen, soch samajh ke to chal. Dekh rahi hai ki kaisi chantomai saans mili hai tumko, lekin behena ki investigative capabilities to naa ke barabar hai. Koi sense nahi hai isme. Isiliye har dushman aata hai, aur uske "Sarvashresth" ka murabba aur churan bana ke chala jaata hai.🤣
She's actually becoming one of my favourite villains. She's coming quick after Joker, Darth Vader, Voldemort, Maleficent, Sauron, Bellatrix, Valentine, Loki and Emperor Palpatine. It just her odd quirks that is making me like her. The way she knows how to manipulate Bani is why I'm liking her. A villain who knows how to manipulate the main character is the one that crosses the bar and becomes a formidable villian. Abh pata nahi ki woh ultimate villain hai ya nahi but she's going to prove to be one hell of a trouble for Bani. If that's coming, I'm gonna sign up for that shit. Bani makes me think of that 11 year old Harry Potter. He's got the skills but the mind to use it is na ke barabar. She doesn't know when and how to use it. Jisse doubt ata hai ki behena ke paas koi shakti hai bhi ya nahi. Uske comparison mein cobra amma ne toh kuch zyada pradarshan kiya hai apni shaktiyon ka. No wonder woh itna over confident hai apni jeet ke baare mein.
Highlights - Nayyy!!!👎🏼
Adi Naagin Bani - Tu kyun bani hai Naagin, kyun. Sirf dialogues phek ke maarne ke liye😡. Kabhi isko phekti hai, kabhi usko phekti hai, kuch nahi mila, to lambi lambi phekti hai. Ye ek number ki pheku Naagin hai. Pheku ke saath saath fraud Naagin bhi hai. Kaunsi shaktiyan, kaahe ki shaktiyan. Kahaan hai iske paas shaktiyan be. Koi teer chodta hai, koi chaaku, and madam dher. Rassi se aur magic se, kaam tamaam. Bachchi ko nigal gayi , and madam woh bhi nahi rok payi. Ho kya raha hai re. Lahual valla Kuwwat. Kya hoga iska re??? Ab to Bholenath bhi samajh gaye, ki dekho, isko sakht madad ki zarurat hai, warna ye Nagvansh ka hi nahi, mere vardaan dene ki parampara ka bhi naam dubayegi. Dimaag to waise bhi nahi chalta behna ka. Chalo divya drishti pradaan karta hu, taaki isko pata chal sake aage kya hone wala hai. Lekin main phir bhi kahungi, Bholenath, iske paas aankhein hone ke bawajood, apna pati nahi dikhta, to divya drishti se kya ghuiyaan ukhaad legi. But manna padega, aajtak kisi bhi Naagin ko bhavishya dekhne ka power nahi mila hai jo isko mila hai. But Naagin bhi to specimen variety ki hai na. Jaisi Naagin, waisi shaktiyan.
Bani's strength is how violent she can get when her temper breaks out. She's quite good in her strength department. The only problem is that she's like that 'khula saand' jo kisi ko bhi seengh marta phirta hai. A tiger is also a rather violent species but the way it brings its royalty is why they're majestic rather than something that is just a nuisence. That is exatly what Bani comes off as. Her temper becomes a nuisence. The next thing that makes Bani strong is her devotion to Bholenath. She's got such belief that it becomes her strength. But the point is she doesn't know how to use it well. Abhi tak toh yahi nahi pata chala ki uske paas aisi kya khaas shakti hai jo baaki Naagins ke paas nahi hai.
Jai Veeru ki Sholay - Ab me Bani ki tarah chillaungi, jab bulbule dekh ke woh dar gayi, "BANDH KARO". Yaar, bade hai dono, bado wali comedy karao na. Kya 1st class Veeranshu and no-class Jai se 5th class ki comedy karwa rahe ho. Aur ek naya aaya hai market me, taaza taaza, "Bade and Chote", aur unke saath aayi hai "Hawaldaarni" jiske aankhein hi kaafi hai dono ko motiyabind dene ke liye🤣. Chal kya raha hai. Dono ke comedy ko thoda sa, thoda sa sudharo, deviyon aur sajjano, jo waha baith ke kahaani likh rahe ho. Namra nivedan to all!
It rather seems like two sibling who haven't crossed the teenage years. Like they're almost 27 and 25. Thoda toh dono ke relation mein maturity hota. The early episodes mein also they used to fight but it showed Veer's class that he sees himself too high to speak to Jay for long. I feel ki now Veer has a certain insecurity with Jay which he takes out with fighting like kids. Its almost the way, my sister and I used to fight as kids over favourite tv show. After a while it becomes tedious rather than funny. No wonder Bani gets so over the top. Waise bhi madam ka top floor jaldi ud jata hai abh yeh dono aise kutto ki tarah ladenge toh no wonder Bani gets irritated and becomes that "Jailor" use do kaidiyon ko control karna padta hai.
Observations:
Okay, so I was impressed with Veeranshu and Jai's teamwork, although Jai's reasons were far from noble. But Jai proved to be a better Nag for once. Instead of scheming around, he did some action on his own. He utilized his powers. But his problem is, he uses his brain and power for the wrong reasons. Had he been even 1% positive, then he would be Sarvashresth and not Bani, cause frankly, Bani has done nothing yet to receive that title. But her strength is she isn't greedy and she is devoted to only Bholenath, and that is why I guess she is granted this power because uska mann saaf hai. Veeranshu and Bani, both are stated to be powerful creatures, but ek ko jahaan apne power ka pura pura ehsaas hai par use nahi karta, to dusre ko bas bakaiti karne se phursat mile to istemaal kare powers.🤔
Veer has a general habit of being too relax to use all the extent of his powers. Use lagta hi nahi hai ki he needs to go to that extent. He presumes he'll act with that in a simple way. He's like jab basic baat se kaam nahi chalega then we'll see what next to do. He acts then analyzes ki effect kya hai and then retaliates back. Like only if Plan A is totally down the drain, he'll start to think of Plan B. He's like bekaar ke tante lene ki zaroorat nahi hai. Relax. He's kind of not serious about Markaat behind him, he's only looking at Bani's safety. While that's a good way to go, it comes off as not being enough caring to someone like Bani. Isiliye we never see the extent of his powers which could make a fantastic scene. Mere hisaab se, the biggest mistake Markaat can make is divide herself into two while trying to fight them. Kyuki as a Cheel, Veeranshu ka mukabla nahi hai and as a Naagin Bani ka koi mukabla nahi hai (Or that is what we are told, aisa kuch dikha toh nahi). So, if they individually fight kare with Cheel and Naagin counter part, Cobra amma won't stand for long. That is their advantage. She doesn't have complete powers of both but Vani together have complete powers of both the sides. Perhaps, that is why they make a formidable team. That is what I want to see. Bani's strength and Veer's planning. But abh dekhte hai woh kab milega.
Finally, Daksh is back. I am so happy that they have reversed his character arc to the sharp hunter cheel. Because he surely stands different among all the Cheels. Har ek cheel alag hai. Kisiko kisi ke jaise banne ki zarurat nahi hai. Aur na hi kisi par identity thopna chahiye. Daksh ki USP hai ki uske abilities Veeranshu ke barabar na sahi, lagbhag uske jaise hi hai. So thank you so much makers for listening to us. Zara aur sunte to Daksh aur Meera ki jodi bhi dila dete😉😆, lekin koi nahi, isme kaam chalaane ki koshish karenge. But I liked Daksh saying, "Bhai, humara to number aane do"😆
Daksh... Finally, they've brought him back from that Monil-like person to his previous character. After Daksh said that, Veer put his hand on Daksh's shoulder like "Teher ja mere bhai, tu bhi ghodi chad lena. Pehle Tapish bhai ka turn aane de" I just laughed so much when everyone started teasing Tapish and he's so confounded ki "Bhai, yeh sabh kab hua?? E ka hua, bro?" like in Kangana Ranaut style "Meri life itni kharab ho gayi hai.... itni kharan ho gayi hai..."
Tapish and Meera, mujhko pata nahi bahut buri waali feeling aa rahi hai. Tapeera fandom, belan aur kadchi leke charge mat karo, ruk jao. 👍🏼Sabse pehli baat Meera aur Tapish apni hi shaadi ki baat sunke, unke reactions the, "Hain????"Jaise ki "Bure phanse" type ke reaction de rahe ho. Meera se jyaada Tapish. And jab Balwant bola, tum log kisi Cheel ladki ko kyun chunte nahi, sirf Naagin ya insaan,uska expression tha jaise kisine bomb phod diya ho. And Balwant ko bolungi, Ballu, tu to chup hi reh ja, khud shaadi ek panwati se ki - jo Sarpakshi ka namuna hai, aur dusro ko gyaan baat raha hai. Kuch massive locha hai aur kuch gadbad hone ki bahut aashanka hai mujhko. It's not that I don't want them married. But there is something too fishy to not notice. This marriage, in my opinion, spells "Doom" as of now to me, I get a very bad feeling from it. And mujhko maaro, but Tapish and Meera have zero chemistry, ZERO! Ab Bani ke style me, "Aao, ek ek karke aao, kaun pehle maarega mujhko, aao"🤣
Tu, main, Dwipi aur kuch log aur toh pehle se his Tapeera ko pasand nahi karte the. Joote chappal , karchi belan sabh saath mein kha lete hai..😆... IF pe jitna Tapeera trend karta hai yeh dekhke possibly unko idea mil gaya but I still don't know if they can manage that chemistry. Anycase, dono ke expression dekh ke lagta hai ki they regret having siblings in their life. "Kahan phasa ke chale gaye..." Tapish ka reaction literally yahi tha when Balwant commented ki koi Cheel ladki nahi milti.
Well, at least that brought me to this mystery unravelling ki cheel mein sirf males nahi hai ladki bhi cheel ho sakti hai kyuki aaj tak na to sunai diya no dikhai diya. So... yeah... I would actually like to see a cheel ladki, yaar....
Cheel family is the coolest family I have seen to date. Life me jhamele kam nahi hai, lekin ye log mast hai apne life me😎. Koi fikr nahi, koi tanta nahi, koi raita nahi😎. Balwant was so cute, "Tujhko Adi naagin ke badle kisi aur se shaadi karni hai, to main tere full support me hu"🤣Koi bhi hota Ballu, Bani ki akalmandi dekh ke.🤣 Khair, Ballu se yaad aaya, tujhko kya hua re??? Khud waha band karke rakha tha Cobra Queen ko, ab koi interest hi nahi sab me, palla to aise jhaad liye, jaise bheege kapde jhaad raha tha sukhaane ke liye. Kya paltu mara re Ballu? Na, eta cholbe na, nahi chalega, chal form me aa, aur "Ballu bana Bhalu" match ko resume kar.🤣
Hundred percent main yahi soch rahi thi. Itne cheel aur relaxed to kahin nahi dikhenge. I just like how Ballu went "satyanash...".. I actually started laughing. Matlab, jab Bani ghar aayi thi tab toh sabse zyada Tapish khush tha aur Tapish ki shaadi ki baat sun ke Balwant was like... "Lo yeh dusra beta bhi ek aur devi ghar le aayega. WOh bhi Adi-Naagin ki behen.." Then he went like "Tum logo ko ish ladane ke liye koi Naagin ya Insaan hi milta hai". I actually laughed at that. I've lost count on how many times I've seen that one clip.
Ek request hai koi mujhe Cheel family ke saare scenes clip karke ek video bana do... 🤣
Khair, aaj ke liye bas itna. Bas aap log aao, mehfil jamao. And apne comments, views mere saath share karo.😊
Acha... I guess kaafi rant kiya hai...
Anyway, as always love your analysis...
