24/01 Written Update *edited with last part* - Page 8

Nikki, I kind of love you for saying everything I wanted to say but so much more eloquently. I'm glad you haven't left us entirely though I know it must be tempting🤗

Some thoughts:

- Why was Veer even running after Rani and demanding she open the door of the washroom? And why did Bani want to escape? I am not picking up something here.

- Kis angle se Bani looks like a maid.... and kahaan ki behenji Ponky baby? 🤣 Here we were discussing her designer outfits and he literally just called her behenji. I lost it.

- Is Bani seriously giving dhabewaala another effing chance? WTF Bani? Like this baffles me the most. Its not even the second time. Its the third freaking time! Even I feel offended on behalf of Veer. He tried to kill Veer and yet she's like 'I am hoping he will give the saath of sachhai this time'. Woman. I am just - I - I am speechless..

Point 1 - YES WHAT WAS THE POINT OF THIS? Bani could have literally come back out and been like "sorry, food poisoning, can't drink alcohol right now". Don't get why Veer was beating down the door, maybe she had diarrhoea, dude?

Point 2 - Ponky is the world's biggest idiot. Veer ko chodo, how do Daksh and Ponky not realise Bani is Rani?! And isn't Bani icchadaari? She could have taken some other roop if all she had to do was go on dates with Veer and get him to fall for her...

Point 3 - One step forward, seventy steps back for this woman I can't even defend her anymore...mujhe sharam aati hai

And then there was SharBhi. Today was actually mostly VaNi, just not the way we wanted them. Despite, everything that happens, the context and the lack of logic, their scenes still manage to pull me in. The small lift scene with the hand tapping ❤️. Small but poignant. When Veer comes in and twirls her over the broken glass pieces today, it was such a sweet moment. They looked so at ease, comfortable and forgotten what their changed equation was. Their smiles at hearing.... the baby's laughter.. even in their confusion was adorable. Then, the scene where Bani speaks to a sleeping Veer (how pretty did SC look! ) was so touching. Surbhi was amazing there - the new mother and the wife in love. This is why I continue to watch the show. Watching them reminds me of why I started watching the show in the first place and why I am still here and will remain till the end. There is also a part of me that is bitter at how much better this could have been, how different it would have been had Veer never lost his memory in the first place. I am glad that at least some insight was given into Veer and his state of mind+feelings today. That made for a teeny tiny soothing to the fact at least Veer is also feeling some loss. Sharad was brilliant there! Those minute expressions of confusion and pain breaking through the confident Veeranshu shined.

WORDDDDDDDDDDD. Every word is the gospel truth. This is the ONLY reason I am still here. Their scenes, context and stupid SL aside, are still so potent and charming that I can't help be pulled in by them. This is what they mean when people say they watch for the actors. At this point, I can't even be sure I'm watching for the characters, at least these versions of them. But I'm definitely hanging on only for the actors, who somehow make this shit sparkle.

P.S. Ballu's U-Turn is such a missed arc and super strange. Khoda pahaad nikla chuha. I guess we will no longer have the whole showdown of Veer finding out about his family's kaarname.... oh wait, he already knows. 🤔

Well, apparently Daddy Cheel has closed up his taskari shop now, so he is Mr Shareefzaada Singhania and AALLLL IS WELLLL kya potential tha iss kahaani ka, aur kya nikla

Today > Yesterday. I was not as disappointed by today's episode. Perhaps its because I literally go in with such low expectations now. Not that I am still not terribly upset at how much the show and VaNi has been ruined or frustrated by all the stupidity thrown at us. But the disappointment hits less than it used to, before. The thing is they are no longer writing for Naagin5. Nop. They are writing the base, the prequel, for the damn spinoff. Everything now is being set for the next show, all the focus is there and the remaining time for this one is just being filled to get to the ending date. You can just tell that there is no effort or even will from their end anymore. The step-motherly treatment shows. Har cheez ki Oh My Maata kar rakhi hai.

There are just so many things going wrong. The most important thing they have ruined is the essence of Aakesh/Veer's love. I can't deny it anymore , its wasn't just a dent, they've totally killed it. Bani or Rani, they've taken away the his sanki pyaar. For this Bani bani Rani to have an outcome, he needs to come out realizing that while he does get attracted to Rani... its Bani his heart desires. I am still at least hoping for that. Otherwise even the dialogues and actions doesn't seem to make sense anymore. And continuity be damned.

Just venting out a few things off the top of my head (just few cause otherwise everything is worth ranting over only😆) from yesterday and today.

- What was even the point of the Pandit and Panditayan and Sapera baba. They were literally of zero help . If the Panditayan could whatsapp Bani about the Bichoos and Bani could call Sapera baba twice to ask Panditayan's wherabouts... why the heck couldn't baba just leave Bani a message or just you know give her a call too? Technology use karleta toh jaan bach jaati. Ya phir pehle se hi vachan tod diya hota aur sab bata deta. .

- Pyaar Ki Nishaani. Enough said.

- Hated Veer putting Bani down all the time. Even when Bani was crying worrying over Sapera baba's body.. Veer seemed not to care. 🥺 Not even a little hesitance at those tears Veer? I also hated that Bani kept running to Veer all the time and dropping those tears. The fiery, feisty Bani is dead it seems along with our sanki, intelligent Veeranshu. At least, she stopped just crying and did something - even if its Rani.

- After all those blunders, has Veer seriously not caught on that Rani is Bani?

- Why was Veer even running after Rani and demanding she open the door of the washroom? And why did Bani want to escape? I am not picking up something here.

- Kis angle se Bani looks like a maid.... and kahaan ki behenji Ponky baby? 🤣 Here we were discussing her designer outfits and he literally just called her behenji. I lost it.

- Tantrik baba. Really? And he gave Jay what power? To change roop? Seriously? They are icchadaari. The addition of 'not being to guess it is you' is negligible and just so silly. Jay's plans are equally stupid. Looks like they are just finding random sidekicks for Jay to have screen space.

- Veer and Bani's intelligence have gone for a toss. Veer seems to not have any questions about his memory gaps. Aur hamari pyaari Bani ke liye toh there needs to be a separate line. Out girl has already lost it long ago.

- Is Bani seriously giving dhabewaala another effing chance? WTF Bani? Like this baffles me the most. Its not even the second time. Its the third freaking time! Even I feel offended on behalf of Veer. He tried to kill Veer and yet she's like 'I am hoping he will give the saath of sachhai this time'. Woman. I am just - I - I am speechless..

Hate to sound like a broken record, but please someone listen to me, i need 💯 emoji!!🤣

Panditayin and s. baba death was just to remind us ki this is n5 you're watching, a supernatural show *detect the sarcasm*

The essence of aakesh's love is gone yr..vani is dead..sounds harsh but it is what it is!! Veer literally took another woman's name in his sleep!!😡( I've already ranted a lot on it so no more!!)

Jai you idiot, power leni hi toh koi kaam ki leta na, roop toh tune kitni bar liya hai. Remember you stabbed veer by taking bani's roop!! Estupido!!😳

We already knew that bani was stupid..what the fudge has happened to veer though?? I could write a 2 page essay on Veeranshu's stupidity.

@bold- she always looks pretty man!! That's what makes her character tolerable and the fact veer loves*loved* her!! Although the scene was rather heartbreaking for me. No woman deserves this kinda behaviour, esp not when she's pregnent!!

@ballu- he and pawan are only there for scenery dude!! Extra props to make it more believable to audience🤣

(Oh sorry, pawan chachu toh "were" ki category mai shift ho gye hai...)

So I am back with my analysis for today- it might be long but I literally had time to think about this while doing some life admin. Sorry if this sounds repetitive to what others have said.

So in my head- and I might be completely wrong the way the writers are pitching this whole Rani and Veer thing is- naam main kya rain. They are showing that no matter what name Bani comes with Veer's connection is with her soul. So that is why he is attracted to Rani because effectively she is Bani. But then why is he irritated with Bani. From Veer's POV he has no clue who she is and to some extent feels a connection with her. He also has a sense of loss and imbalance that he is currently feeling but can't explain what it is- its like he knows something is missing. And when this 'random' person is all over you and your brothers say she is you stalker- and one brother half heartedly tries to tell you she is your wife anyone would be WTH is happening man. Then you get this excruciating pain around her- its going to make you irritable and rude. Just to make it clear I do not like or agree with this track. But what I got from todays episode- specially the part where Veer and Taapish talked- I loved that scene. It actually gave me the insight into V veer's mind and the fight he is currently having between his mind (who is telling him everything is as it should be) and his heart/soul that is telling him something is missing and not right. Thank you for giving us that (I mean that is the least you can give us Stalkers but anyway). Also something I noted was when Veer was drunk and probably at his most vulnerable he went looking for Bani and not Rani. He wanted to make her angry so he could sleep peacefully lol. Also just considering everything Veer has always been Bani's protector since the start- so I am glad they have kept that going be it the lift scene or the stopping her from drinking that poison.

Now this Bani Rani thing- I don't think Veer has bought it. This version of Veer is not that dumb. Hence the whole I want to Bani to the farmhouse. Especially after the whole scene at the restaurant where Rani knew about his allergies and his coffee preferences. Even then when Rani was choking- Bani was mentioned. I am hoping the makers surprise us with Veer having a brain this time- and the BTS will show us how long this Bani Rani act will go on for.

I loved Veer and Taapish's bonding today- the lines they shared. I loved it and I also liked Ballus concern for Veer (still not buying his 'care' for Bani) but it was nice to see that. I'm glad that Veer has taapish and I really hope he is the one who punishes Donky whenever the time comes. Also thanks once again makers for confirming Veer has his powers back lol and also can we talk about the rhymes the bani rani and the why and fly so high- I love them my type of rhyme!

I thought that the whole monologue between Bani and her baby was beautiful- that is the type of conversation I have yearned for Vani to have with each other- not with a child in utero. But this explained to me what charaterstics of Veer Bani fell for- not just him but the traits she finds endearing. But hey beggars can't be choosers lol so I am glad we got the monologue.

Now the scene where he says Rani instead of Bani- I'm not going to lie it killed me- but this goes back to my earlier point of what the writers seem to be hinting towards naam main kya hai- at the end of the day she is Bani. But writers we don't care- no offence keep your stupid Rani plans to yourself- also Bani deserved it she came up with this stupid idea 😆 Also Veer's reaction wasn't as bad as I expected when he woke up - there were no stalkers/desperate/dafa ho. So I was like progress had been made. Yes he calls her maid- i mean which maids dress up in sexy sarees and matching jewellery- you must be giving her a good salary cheeky baba! Btw what has happened to the physical pain that V used to get around Bani- oh let me guess selective amnesia eh writers?

Now let me address the elephant in the room- pyaar ki nishaani (PKN) first of all the baby has brains clearly not inherited from her mother 😡 She knows not to trust dhabbewala and only wants her dad around (bilkul maa pe gayi hai phir 🤣) But like I have said to some people on the forum this baby is going to mega powerful Well in this season probably and in the new show the writers will forget her powers like they did with her mum and dad. I know there have been twilight references thrown around which I can see the link for but I think the writers have copied this from somewhere else. If anyone has watched the show charmed- this baby will be Wyatt basically. When his mother was pregnant with him- he had powers while in the womb. He healed his mother and made her invincible. I don't what powers this cheel/naagin/vampire/blessed by an angel baby has. But I feel this baby will be the key to Veer getting his memories back hopefully.

Dhabbewala - explain to me why the writers put a scene of him eating the baba's food? I literally was like WTH why is he so special to you that you are giving so much extra useless screen space - showing him eat?! Honestly that whole scene with the baba and the way he found out Bani was pregnant 🤢 I guess he had to know about Bani being pregnant before Veer cos you know he's the main guy - I mean the fact that Bani is going to go to him for help. GOOD LORD HELP ME. I literally wanted to whack her one. HE TRIED TO KILL YOUR HUSBAND. YOU WEREN'T TRUSTING HIM THE OTHER DAY. WHY WILL YOU ASK FOR HIS HELP AND RISK HIM BEING ANYWHERE NEAR YOUR HUSBNAD. The same husband you think is in danger and are trying to save? Just for this she deserves whatever Jai is going to dish out to her honestly.

Overall like Arshi said if you look at the Vani scenes and forget about what has happened they were lovely. SM and SC are fire- they nailed their scenes together and individualy. Be it SM in his drunk avatar or SC talking to her baby. They reminded me why I was here watching this episode again.

I just wanted to say a couple of things stalkers- I WANT A HAPPY ENDING. You can do what you want after this season ends but for now I want a happy ending- I really don't care about the next show of yours. Secondly that baby laughing and crying is actually freaky either tone it down or stop it lol. And the foetus image that Jai saw again JUST WEIRD.

Abhi ke liye itna hi😆

Bloody hell Huma, what a post 🤣

Now like Dhairya I too want a 💯 emoji in the reactions tab otherwise Imma be quoting your whole g-dang post just to say "I agree" 🤣

Suffice it to say: I agree. I also thought that in the bedroom scene Veer was not hostile towards Bani in the way he has been in previous eps, and I think the scene with Tapish went some way to showing us why that is...he senses something there, but can't quite put his finger on it.

I will say, and IDK if this is traitorous or not (bc like you I have to put a disclaimer that overall I DO NOT LIKE OR AGREE WITH THIS TRACK), but in the final scene where Meera was manao-ing Veer to bring Rani to the farmhouse, I found Bani's reactions kind of hilarious - the whole "Sure, sing the praises of Rani and forget the promises you made to Bani" and kosso-ing her "behena" for reminding Veer of the word stalker 🤣 gotta say I think Bani's handling this whole memory loss stupidity waaaaaaaaaaaay better than we are. I just...I did find that scene funny and cute, and overall SC killed it today with all of her varying emotions (Bani's stupidity re: Jai aside) 👏

Also I forgot- but you are all welcome for the 'thank yous' 🤗 I honestly wouldn't have done this on another forum ❤️

LOOOOOLL I told you it would be long. I feel like his subconscious is trying to push through but just can't for some reason and thats where this powerful baby is going to come into play- maybe. Also the disclaimers are necessary 😆

OMG that part I forgot to include it in the above analysis but I loved that as well. Nah defo no traitorous its about us finding happiness in an otherwise ridiculous script 😆 Honestly it was literally like she was speaking my mind with everything that she said 🤣 I think she is alright because she knows Bani is Rani and Rani is Bani. Lets hope they don't call the kid Tani or something 🤪

I think that if this track were taking place in a daily where we had the hope/expectation that it would end happily, and the show wasn't ending soon-ish, we wouldn't hate it so much. We'd still complain, probably, but we'd know that the end result would be good so we could ride it out. Here we don't have the security, so it hits harder.

I know the baby laughing/crying *was* kind creepy, but it was also...kinda cute? 😲😆 the scene where Veer is holding Bani and the baby is like super happy made me LOL. It's insane and bizarre, but also sorta cute. Baby cheelu is happy dad's around 😆 and Veer's confused face made it even funnier.

IDK, once the venting is done I feel like all I can do is try to find the bits that made it all a tiny bit bearable. No surprises that these moments were all about Vani/SharBhi.

100% agree if we could see the light at the end of this tunnel it would be much better. Its because we know they're using this to set up their next show its annoying. I honestly don't mind if they give us a happy ending now. But in their next show they show Vani dead and the child takes her 'revenge' or whatever then. Don't really care TBH.But give us our happy ending that is the least you can give us STALKERS!

LOL I know what you mean but it was too loud - like lower the volume kiddo 🤣 Imagine the baby reaction when Veer gets his memory back and comes back to mama. Please note I said when STALKERS not if!

This episode was way better than yesterdays honestly the Sharbi moments were my highlight and the monologues honestly they were really well written- must be the same people that wrote the vows. Shame they didn't write the whole show like that 🤔

Also did you notice how Veer was holding Bani in the car in the precap- in a headlock 🤣
