You said it my dear!!!! And I have a lot to say on this. In fact, I have mentioned this in my weekend review for last 2 episodes as well. I mean this show has been a fashion parade for Surbhi, rather than murder parade for Adi Naagin Bani. Bani to ek wasted Naagin hai hi, upar se Surbhi ka fashion styling does not help at all. And by every episode the material for her blouses keep diminishing. I love Bani ki priority. Kuch bhi ho raha ho uske aas paas, blouse naya zaroor hona chahiye 😆 Makers don’t realise how weird it looks when instead of looking distraught that Patidev gave her attitude after their consummation night, she is all perfectly decked up, crying perfect little tears in front of Meera di.
Haven't we had sexy Naagins before? But there wasn't any overt need to emphasize that sexiness. Their character arcs as Naagins who were femme fatales was what made them sexier. Be it Shivanya, Shesha, Bela, Vish or Shivangi. It seems like they overcompensate with her lacking as a Naagin by her fashion choices. It is frustrating to the core. I really don’t remember any Naagin dressing up like a runway model. They were sexy women in their own right wearing chiffon sarees but itna OTT nahi thi dressing ki lage yeh kaun sa fashion show ka set hai.
Nowadays, its a headache to watch Surbhi parading in skimpy blouses and translucent sarees in the show as well as social media. I mean vanity is one thing, but they keep on endorsing her everywhere. Hmm.. usse bhi itni problem nahi hai mujhe. All actresses do this pout vanity session on their handles. My main gripe is that I feel disconnected with the character when she dresses too larger than life. Already show fantasy show hai. Uss mein thoda realism daalenge tabhi toh audience connect kar payegi.
Whereas the character is so disgusting that the less said the better. Feel nothing for her anymore, just plain irritated. I mean she makes me miss Hina more. Pure Naageshwari ke character arc ke upar pani pher diya Surbhi ne as Bani. Bad writing to hai hi, aur Surbhi ki dull acting usko aur bhi dull banati hai. Bani bahut kam hi situations me mujhko pasand aayi hai. I like her when they show her ferocity and strength, rest all, be it her mindless rage, her tantrums, her arrogance, her self-piteous talks, her OTT love, her crying, everything makes me just skip the channel or mute it. I haven’t followed the show closely for a while. Can’t get through Voot episodes without getting distracted due to the poor storyline For me, Bani ka love came too suddenly , Veer ka hypnotism and anger was too against him as a character. I always thought there will be a build up to it. And Veer’s love is too strong for this hypnotic bullsh*t. Since that track, I can’t really watch the episodes for long.
On the other hand we have Sharad as Veeranshu- ek jacket, ek hi ripped jeans, or ek hi joote pehen ke pura season jeet liya usne. Veer was my favourite character but zyada relate nahi kar paa rahi after the hypnotism track. Thought they would go a different way with him but aa gaye wahi aggressive male lead after suhagraat wali line pe.
