Heya fellas, apologies to all those who were waiting for my take on the Saturday and Sunday episodes. Have been busy with studies because of a research paper, so henceforth I will be doing a Double Take on Naagin 5,i.e. I will be giving my reviews after both the episodes air. Don't worry yaaron, bhaari bharkam take hoga, Bani ke mizaaj aur gale ke chain ki tarah. 😆 Khair, here goes my take on what happened over the weekend.
Highlights - Yayyy!👍🏼
Veer's "Anger" - Honestly, I liked the display of anger by Veer which Sharad nailed it by staying true to his character. Veer essentially is a "clown" who is not devoid of emotions and has a higher emotional range than any of the cheels of his family, till now. Infact, I feel that Veer's anger has more depth and character than Bani's ridiculous rage. Veer is angry for two reasons - Bani killed his brother and he is unable to hate Bani. It isn't possible. Veer is reborn with the soul of Aakesh. Aakesh could go to lengths and breadths to do anything for Naageshwari. So that connection does not allow him to hate or hurt Bani. And all that he has done till now, are actually pretty much within his limits because he has not done one single thing consciously to hurt Bani too much. And whatever he is doing, those who love Veer's character, find it icky, but for me, it is that the man is hurting. He loves that girl. If it isn't enough that the girl does not feel the intensity of his emotions, she also supposedly killed his brother. He is conflicted because his brother died and he loves her. He wants to hate her, and at the end of the day, he is incapable of doing so.
Shukla's Game - I must say, this bugger looks like an innocent pandit, but ye aadmi apni panditai kahin aur hi lagane me busy hai. Itni unchi planning. Bechare uss Teer ko maar diya for no reason, and that too someone who is mentally unstable. Phir Jai ke supposed maut ki planning ki taki Bani ko uske jode se alag rakh sake, so that she faces the Cheels alone. Now he has hired Mayuri to kill Bani, because uski planning me they did not count Veer's sanak. And he thinks exposing her as Adi Naagin before Veer will trigger Veer's rage and he will kill Bani? Either this man is too sharp or too stupid. Because he grossly underestimates Veer's feelings for Bani, and he also grossly underestimates Adi Naagin's power.
Bani's griha pravesh - I mean, I know ki bahut logo ko pasand nahi aaya, but boss I did not mind. I mean, I expect these things from Cheels, kyunki iske ilawa na unko kuch aata hai aur na kuch sikhaya gaya hai. So, I mean why even expect anything different. And I like it yaar. Why always look for conventional things all the time, its something unconventional, something different. it was really fun. And these devars are really cute. I know they do not know how to behave with their "Bhabhi", but Veer and Bani hai na, dono achche se sikha denge.😆I am actually looking forward to the bhabhi-devar nok-jhok.
Bani's bahugiri - Ek yahin scene tha jo itna mazedaar tha ki kya bolu. Wajah chahe jo bhi ho, Bani inn Cheelo ki duniya ko roshan karne hi aayi hai. And iski shuruat Veer se hogi, phir baaki log dheere dheere line pe aayenge - phir devar, phir chachu, phir Daddy ji😆. Bilkul Satte pe Satta wali feeling thi. Itna mazedaar tha woh, I actually watched that scene on repeat - I can foresee that ye devar aur bhabhi ki bonding aage jaake bahut jordaar hone wali hai. Aur gharwale ko bhi kaam pe laga diya. And Veer itni shanti se maan gaya. It was so adorable. Aur woh lata bhi shaayad, lekin khurafaati dimaag uska, ulta uss par pani phek diya.😆 Ek dusre ke liye hi bane hai dono.
Highlights - Nayyy!👎🏼
Bani's "Anger" - Koi aao bhaiyya aur isko zor se hilao, kyunki ab isska gussa dekh dekh ke mera BP badte jaa raha hai😡. Arre koi to roko iss khaali khopdi ko, iska gussa aur iske dialogues ab mujhe sahi me force kar rahe hai CVs ko batane ko, ki haa bhai, aao isko maar do, aur hume baksh do. Jabse ye show shuru hua hai, iske gusse ka force to badta hi ja raha hai. Lagta hai iske gusse ke wajah se hi iske naagin wale VFX aur jyaada laal ho gaye hai. Arre koi to limit rakho. Ye to hadh paar ho rahi hai ab. Shuru se hi iska bewajah ka gussa tolerate kiya humne, ab aur kitna dikhaoge. Ab to kuch kam karo iska gussa. Iska dimaag to kaam hi nahi karta yaar. Kuch bhi karti hai, kahin bhi shuru ho jaati hai. Please, creatives, ab iske gusse ka ubaal thoda kam karo.Bahut ho gaya hai, bahut seh liya humne. Ab time aa gaya hai iss khali khopdi me thoda dimaag ghusao aur sahi jagah par vaar kare, aise koi story me change lao. Iske badle ki story ka koi head and tail nahi hai, please give it a new direction. 10,000 saal ke pehle ka badla koi nahi leta. Lena hai to ab lo, ye pura Africa ka jo jungle yahaan haazir hua hai na, unse lo badla. Sahi direction me gussa use karo.
Mayuri - Ye kya cheez hai yaar. Kyun hai? Ek to Cheel ka bgm accept karne me waqt lag gaya humko. Ab ye "morni banke" kathakali ke Ravan wala gaana iss par bajayenge, to kaise tolerate karenge hum. And main ye Bani ko khali khopdi bolti hu, ye Cheel kuch kam nahi hai. Ye Daksh "bhaiyya" ke sensory alert system pe jaala pad gaya hai kya? Naag aur Naagin soong leta hai, lekin morni ka nahi kar sakta. How pathetic can this get? Aur iss morni ki kya zarurat hai? Bani ko jealous karne ke liye. Iss bandi ko koi fark nahi padta. Aur agar padta hai, to gusse me woh bhi hauwwa ban jata hai. Aur kis liye? Adi Naagin ko expose karne ke liye, usko maarne ke liye. Didiji, ye hum log jaante hai ki Bani thodi khali khopdi hai, lekin there is a reason why she is Adi Naagin. Koi panipuri waale ka thela nahi hai ki raaste se hata doge. Usko expose karne ke chakkar me khud expose ho jaogi, aur phir Cheel tumhari jo durdasha karenge, woh alag.
Observations
Ek to, koi Bani ke khopdi me dimaag ghusa de to bahut meherbani hogi. Ab kahaan hawa ho gaye, iske ethics, morals. Bada gyaan jhadti thi, "beinsaafi nahi hone deti". To ek dimaagi beemar cheel ko maarne ki koshish karti ho, ab agar woh kaam na aaye, to usko marke bhi shaanti mat do. Like really woman. Itna gussa hai tumko, ki Veer ko uksaane ke liye, apni hi banaye rulebook ki dhajjiya udao. Very good my dear. Agar main waha hoti na, to by God, kas ke ek thappad jad diya hota. Behen ka dimaag jara kaam karne lage. Behen, morni pe focus karo, cheelo ka baadme kachumbar banana.
Veer is never ever going to get provoked to a point to kill Bani. That man actually married her, even after he has all the means and motive to kill her, for killing his brother. Everyone is grossly underestimating Veer's feelings for Bani here. They are no ordinary feelings dude. He does not remember them, but they are 10,000 years old. Its this very connection, that makes him do the opposite in Bani's case. He is the real "joda" for Bani, not ideally conventional because it challenges the fabric of nature, but it is. So sorry, Morni behen, Shukla ji, and of course, Jai dada. Teero ke bahaar chala lo, lekin banda tas se mas nahi hoga. Usko pata bhi chala na ki woh Naagin hai, tab bhi woh kuch nahi karega.
This pandit daddu and sapera uncle, what did they mean to tell after Bani left, "Tumne usse bataya kyun nahi ki uska saathi manaser hai" or something like that. What did they mean by that? I mean I get it that Bani has to seek the truth for herself, but what did Sapera uncle mean to say? Did anyone hear him out clearly? Please do tell, if you did.
Coming to the thrilling devar bhabhi combo, I think the first one to warm up to Bani would be Tapish. Cause, he was the one to control his father. So, I think it could be him, followed by Ponky and Monil. Daksh "bhaiyya" will be last, cause I for one believe he is a little wary of women. But I think all four of them will be there for Bani, when she will need them the most, after Veer of course. Cause I believe, this family needs someone like her who can give them the much-needed direction and discipline, which they lack. And Bani will eventually learn that you seem to find people who love and adore you in the most unexpected places. And then last me Chacha aur Sasur aayenge. But jo Bani inse karwa rahi hai, uska intention kuch bhi ho, lekin yes, woh inki life me dher saari roshni laayegi. Please CVs, iss family ko nazar mat lagana.
Ek baat to sahi kaha tha Shukla ne, Satyug jitna seedha tha, Kalyug utna hi tedha hai. Aur Bani ko pata nahi chalega kaun dost hai aur kaun dushman. But Shukla ji, Veer ke pyaar ko aur Bani ke Adi Naagin ko underestimate mat karo, dono milkar tumhari Shuklai nikaal denge.
Enough with my ranting. Would love to read your thoughts and comments.😊
