Naagin 5 - Double Take 5

Interesting! Very Interesting! Lagta hai aaj aadhe se jyaada forumwaasi dukhi hai, ek to Veer ki jhalak mili nahi, upar se @Dwipanita ne apna review diya nahi😆. Kya hua Dwipi, itni dukhi mat ho behen. Next week dikh jayega na sab ko Veer. Apne Bajirao Veeranshu Singhania ke liye khushi khushi dekho, itna dukhi hoke nahi!

Waise tum logo ko awaaz aayi, table ke turn hone ki awaaz to aayi hogi. Charki ghumne ki awaaz to aayi hogi. Kyunki mujhko aayi, halki si. Kaise, well for that you need to read my take:

Highlights - Yayyy!👍🏼

Shakura - As much as I enjoyed DD as Aakesh, I enjoyed him as Shakura as well. He played both characters so well. Ek character ne hum logo ko Veeranshu Singhania se joda, aur dusre character ne humko Veeranshu Singhania se aur pyaar karna sikhaya. How? Well Aakesh, was obsessive, possessive, sanki, and crazy. That side to him made us connect with Veer. Shakura is a leechad, crazy, sachmuch ka badtameez, lusty, and that made us realize how much Veer has actually drawn the line with Bani. In his obsession also, after marriage, he never crossed it. Although his pre-marriage actions are debatable, but his after marriage stunts show that he can be a gentleman if he genuinely tries to be one. So, thank you DD. Your presence made us fall for Veer and also feel his absence. Thanks, DD, for coming to entertain us again. Hope you do make another appearance. I enjoy watching the dude.

Bani's brain - Although it is nothing compared to our Cheelo ka Bajirao, but this girl does have brains when she chooses to use it. Although no one is allowed to interfere in her journey, she is taking baby steps. Last night was commendable. She saved the Cheels, which displayed her honor. She trapped Shakura before his own family, which displayed her mind. She confiding in Meera about what happened shows her focus. She has all the capabilities and qualities of being Sarvashresth Adi Naagin. She was good at dealing with Shakura, and I was happy for once. You know when she is busy not hurling her hatred and accusations at Veer, she is bearable. Damn! Individually, she does well. Only when she is with Veer, she gets into a fixated zone for some reason. But that isn't Bani, that is completely Naageshwari out there talking to a clueless Veer.🤪

Gandhak Patthar - Dude, you can't talk, but you have a fan in me. Ek to you exposed Shakura before Bani, then you compelled Bani to protect the Cheels. Jaise nakaratmak jagah pe jaake tu ulta kaam karta hai. Waise hi Bani ke paas rehkar usse bhi ulte kaam karwa. For instance, Bani jab bhi Cheelo ko maarne ka soche, ussi se unko bachao. Ya phir jab Bani Veer ko bole ki main tumhe maar dungi, tab bhi wahi karna haan. Tere karnaame apram paar hai. Love you Gannu! You have my ❤️

Jai's khurafaat - Bhai manna padega doodhwale ko. Jo iske dimaag ki khurafaat hai, woh koi bhi na kar sake hai. Taaqat bhale hi kam ho chore me, but dimaag zinda hai. Ye na bahut nainsaafi hai Bholenath, kya do do bando ko dimaag ekdum jetspeed pe chalane ko diya hai. Aur apni Adi Naagin ka dimaag, hamesha khataare ki tarah ruk ruk ke chalate ho. Don't tell me, ke Adi Naagin ka brain bhi 10,000 saal purana hai, pleajjjj! Khair coming to Jai and his Maya Ras. This guy is good as a nemesis. I think I can tolerate him for some more time. But the thing is I want someone to retaliate with intention, not unintentionally. You guys know who I am talking about right. Zyaada din tak heroine ko pappu bante huye dekhna achcha nahi lagta.

Highlights - Nayyy!!!👎🏼

Bani's unbridled arrogance - gets on my nerves😡. Koi aake isko apne ghode se utaaro, kuch jyaada hi udaan maar rahi hai. Apna thaur thikana nahi hai, aur dusron ko lecture. Bandi se kuch ho na ho, lecture bahut deti hai. What was she telling Shakura, "Nagas are superior to Cheels", and what else, yes, "Her Bholenath knows that she will never misuse her power or breach any rules" set by him? Great, fair enough. Although this woman is becoming an annoyance to put up with, I am just waiting for that moment, when uska mast pappu katne wala hai. Kya keh rahi thi, "Tum jaise ko waapis thode hi na dhundti, kisi aise ko dhundti jo meri dhaal bane, meri hifaazat kare". Haan, behen, kya boli Shakura ko, she sees these qualities in Jai???Kahaan se behna. Aajtak to tune hi bachaya hai uss muftkhor doodhwale ko. Aajtak to kabhi usko teri dhaal bante nahi dekha. Aur jisko dekha hai, uspe to tumhari nazar nahi jati. Kyun darpok Adi Naagin? Sach ka saamna nahi karna aata to mat karo, lekin aise uchal uchal ke jhooth to mat bolo. Also, apni badai karna band karo, "Maine tum logo ko bachaya hai", "Jaan bachai hai maine tumhari Veeranshu Singhania". Uff, kantala aata hai isko dekh ke kabhi kabhi.😕

Observations:

I have always said this and reiterating it again, ye Ballu and Bani me jyaada koi farq nahi hai frankly. Lekin inn dono ka mast pappu katne wala hai Jai aur Shukla ke haathon. Kyunki dono hi "blind faith" rakhte hai inpe. Infact, aajkal to dialogues bhi ek jaise bolte hai. Bani Veer ko "maar dungi, maar dungi" karti hai. And Balwant Bani ko "maar do, khatm kar do isse"bolta rehta hai. Matlab sach me. Dono na ek jaisa feel dete hai. At least, dono me se kisi ek ko to Veer se pyaar hai.

Okay, ab jinn ko bhi doubts hai, including me, regarding Veer's memories, I think we got a clear cut scene where in his Cheel form he is remembering all that happened in his past. So when Veer returns he will have absolute control over his past, his present and I am sure he will not reveal a thing about Bani to his family. Infact, a lot of firefighting is coming his way, he has to protect both parties from each other, unless Bani chooses to switch sides.

Shukla and Mayuri's pol khol, is necessary probably to give closure to the Teer track. Ballu is after Bani because of her involvement in Teer's death, and he has blind faith in Shukla. Convincing him will be difficult unless Shukla himself reveals his deeds. Phir to Shukla ki khair nahi. But Bani did feel it is dubious that Mayuri was given supari to kill her by Veer. I mean achanak se Veer ko pata hai ki woh morni hai?? Going by the sequence of revelations, when Bani was trapped, first came Mayuri, then Shukla, and now, in the end, will be Jai. So I guess, ussi hisaab se patta katne wala hai - first Mayuri, then Shukla, and last me bahut Tom and Jerry type ke fights ke baad, Jai.

Coming to the tables turning, well, mujhe awaaz sunai padi, kyunki, they once again executed a smooth revelation of Shukla to Bani, not the Teer's murderer part, but the part that he isn't a Cheel family loyalist. And surprisingly Bani was equally miffed at the thought, that you are betraying Ballu. Like kya hua Bani, itni chubhi kyun ye baat? Dushman hai, tumko kya. Kisi aur ka dhokha itna chubh gaya, to apne ka dhokha kaise tolerate karegi ye? Kyunki ab mujhko lagta hai Bani ka time aa gaya hai, apne phailaye raite ko sametne ka. Apne points aur facts se Cheel family and Veer ko convince karne ka, unka trust jeetne ka. Pehle farq nahi padta tha na, ab padega. Ab Bani ke mehnat karne ka waqt aa raha hai.

Meera is one hell of a courageous woman. Kaun kehta hai ki ye darpok ya sehmi si hai? Himaat lagti hai Adi Naagin ka saath dene ki. Sab kuch sunkar, samajhkar, neutral hokar apni raaye dene ki. Koi soft ho, iska matlab nahi ki woh courageous nahi hai. Courage has many faces, one of them is Bani, and one is Meera. Knowing Bani despises Veer, she put her point across to her, that takes courage. And Meera and Bani do have a plan up their sleeve, cause Meera said, "Kya karna hoga, bolo", aisa kuch. Let's see what they plan.

If anyone did not notice, did you guys not feel that Bani was trying too hard to avoid the fact that Veer missing doesn't affect her in any way? I mean she bypassed Meera as her focus was Shakura, but still somewhere she is doubting things happening around her. I mean for some reason, every moment be it with Shakura or Mayuri, she was doubting that Veer had anything to do with this. Bani nowadays really tries hard to convince herself that Veer doesn't affect her, but he actually does, which is why she hurls more hateful comments at him, to hide her growing feelings. Darpok Naagin.🤔 Infact, in the precap, Bani chasing Jai, to know the real face of the person whom Shakura was talking to, shows that in that cave she saw Veer, but isn't able to believe it. Why would she want to see that man's face in Shakura's form then? Something has clicked her mind, which we don't know yet, cause precaps are always edited. But there are 2 possibilities - either Bani kills Shakura and saves Veer, or Bani only kills Shakura and Veer saves himself, how, well that we have to see.

Enough of me ranting. Let's listen to your comments and views.😊

Haha.. am 1st

Will read and come behna 🤗

--Res --

As usual it was a wonderful review soha 👍🏼

Yes... as u said tables r gonna change...it started already.... as Bani saved cheels ( am gonna ignore her maar doongi Jaap )

Jay is my god.... he is brainy but he is overconfident... but his mayajaal plan was good...

Bani has brains am happy..but she should use it wisely.. for a change I didn't mute her😆

Shakura was nice...and I enjoyed his antics....especially him calling stone as " Gandhakk beta aao ".. and the way he was happy thinking he fooled Bani.. liked the scene where Bani was testing him.. so Madam is trying hard to ignore her growing effects towards Veer... Meera is now in picture let's see...

There is a mystery around Gandhak pattar... Am confused about Ballu and Veer being father and son...

Mayuri and Shukla r gonna expose soon... last scene was good...

Yesss..Cheel baby will be back with his memories

Precap is

Analysis is very apt soha!!👏

Haha well said forum me dukh ki leher chha gayi hai. Veer ke naam pe agar sastha VFX dekhaoge to aisa hi hoga na @dwipanita must be supper annoyed after yesterday's episode. How much we had expected... How much we had waited.. bas veer ki ek jhalak ke liye

The coward cheel shakura : yes, he's sanaki leechad lusty and what not... despite his all annoying moves (especially, inappropriately touching bani, and clinging all over her) I loved this character for his humor. I still can't get over his funny acts and humorous lines which was coming out in most hillarious way possible in the series situation. I loved the way he escaped on that time when the cheels life was on stake, patali gali pakad li bhai ne..batao!!🤣 matlab ye kya baat hui. Kuch to insaniyat I mean cheeliyat dikho😆

But yes you have point here his lecherous act made us realise veer is the way different than this guy. He never crossed his limits. Agar waha shakura ki jagah veer hota to he would have closed the door Instead of ogling all over her body. I'm very thankful for DD he somehow kept us engaging with the show...

Bani the brave junglee billi :- I know there's no point calling her billi here because she's more powerful than a normal cat . she's already sarvsheshth aadinagin. But aaj wo veer ki yakin pe khari uttari hai... a junglee billi... Uske dimag ka pahiya kya speed se ghuma hai... Ekdum tornado ki tarah jiski chapet me bechara shakku aa gya now one thing is clear... never take promos seriously. Promo dekhkar to lag raha tha bani was reason behind the tornado because of that sighanias were hanged on air but no our acchai ki murat ..khubsurat.. adinagin to in cheelo ki bacha rhi thithe way she trapped fake veer was also praiseworthy

The precious gandhak Patthar - actually I made a different fun post on thisit is really precious for us. Table turn karne me iska bhi bahumulya yogdaan hai kaise mayuri aur shukla ko uski ke bune jaal me fasa diyaand also exposed Shakura.

Jay the cunning man - iss bande ke baare me kya bolu hai. iski harqate dekhkar kabhi gussa kabhi hasi aur kabhi tareef karneka man karta. He was hell bent on killing bani jese bani nahi doodhwale ki hi koi dukhbhari dastaan ho aur vahi badla lena chahta hai. Itna khunnas kyu bhai wo bhi apni 10000 Divya varsh purane pyar sebut mohit sehgal acting was on point. He's improving day by day

Meera the vani shipper: I love how meera was talking in favour of veer. Ye bandi aage jakar jodi maker ban sakti hai waise I liked that makers are utilising their existing cast.... Like meera and daksh aise hi thoda tapish ko bhi utilities karo instead of adding any annoying new entries

Overall the whole week and weekend went on guessing whether SM will come or won't. But again disappointed koi nahi we will wait for him till the death.... Hehe dialogue kuch jyada nahi ho raha

Thank you behna!😊

Yes... as u said tables r gonna change...it started already.... as Bani saved cheels ( am gonna ignore her maar doongi Jaap )

Bani jo soch rahi hai ki uski kahaani Cheelo ka ant karne ka hai. Lekin kahaani iss baar alag hai. Kahaani Satyug me bhi alag hi thi. But Naageshwari ne saara raita phaila diya. Ab bhi Naageshwari uss par haawi hai, Bani is not working at all. Hope Jai's truth releases Bani from Naageshwari's clutches.

Jay is my god.... he is brainy but he is overconfident... but his mayajaal plan was good...

Kuch zarurat se jyaada hi vishwaas hai Bani ke burbakpane par usko. Kab khel palat jaaye pata nahi chalega. Gaddha khodte khodte khud hi down the ditch ho jayega woh

Bani has brains am happy..but she should use it wisely.. for a change I didn't mute her😆

Individually, when Bani uses her brain and works things out, she can be watched. Only when she is hurling abuses and acuses at Veer, is when my brain shuts down.

Shakura was nice...and I enjoyed his antics....especially him calling stone as " Gandhakk beta aao ".. and the way he was happy thinking he fooled Bani.. liked the scene where Bani was testing him.. so Madam is trying hard to ignore her growing effects towards Veer... Meera is now in picture let's see...

Shakura was definitely good. But avoiding what Meera said about Veer was Naageshwari's defense mechanism that continuously prods Bani not to trust a Cheel, which stops Bani from giving Veer a fair chance.

There is a mystery around Gandhak pattar... Am confused about Ballu and Veer being father and son...

Who cares?? Ballu will get what he deserves pretty soon. First Adi Naagin will, then Veer.

Mayuri and Shukla r gonna expose soon... last scene was good...

Pehli baari uss Mayuri ki hogi, phir Shukla aayega.

Yesss..Cheel baby will be back with his memories

Yes, they showed him recalling everything in his Cheel form. I want to see what happens when he first meets Bani after the recollection of his memories. Does he realize Bani is Naageshwari or not?

Precap is

As usual rubbish. I am just waiting for the game to turn in favor of Veer and Bani.

Oh yeah... Will he remember and accept Bani 😒 As Veer hates 🐍 let's see 🤞

Love the review. Bani's arrogance is a major turn-off, and for hell's sake, the actor needs to control the pace of her dialogues, as if she's running in a marathon.... When she does that she looks less of a Naagin & more of a bratty girl with tons of attitude. Her brain is working slowly but at least it is working, so that's a huge plus point. Maybe deep down Bani does not hate Veer, but is perplexed that how her supposed mortal foe affects her in a profound manner - her words show disgust, but her feelings show shock, surprise & confusion. Eagerly awaiting the episodes of next week. Veeranshu will free himself with the help of Gandhak in all probability. But Jai taking Veer's roop to create further misunderstanding between VAni is already ruining my mood. Such a cunning dhabewala....anyway, waiting for Veer's return.

Sohini good review!!

Let me start by saying that I liked the episode for a change even though Veer wasn’t really present, but his flashbacks were and Bani reminiscing all of those got me emotional a bit. 😭

Bani has definitely got discerning eyes for knowing Shakura’s intentions. She immediately plotted a jaal to entrap him and she did it very vigilantly. She knew how to curve his actions by stating many things regarding VaNi which wasn’t true and which Jay didn’t think Bani was able to do. So Bani has a win win situation there as she finally connected the dots that Shakura is an imposter. Moreover, Meera really astonished me when she spoke for Veer.. jo Bani nahe dekh Payi for obvious reasons, she was able to comprehend within two or three meetings with Veer. He is the protector of her and she is to him. This is the thing which Bani will realize later on, but I hope it won’t be too late.

Then, I totally love the fact how Bani relieved Cheel clan by dismantling them all from that red stone while in Veer’s absence. She probably did that unknowingly of her emotions for the family and not just because she can’t put people in danger etc etc... See Bani’s brain works too fast to capture her emotions because Naageshwari in her controls it and when you talk about Jay, she sees nothing, but him. However, for a change she was able to solidify her doubts on Shakura today from many days. Moreover, she came to know only Cheel prince could function the red stone as it only obeys his orders. That concluded Bani and Veer being at higher end and being most powerful in their own territories.

Thing which not necessarily made me upset, but it most likely put me in a somber mood was the fact that Bani not once thought of saying “agar ye behrupia hai toh Veer kahan hai” instead she said she has to know how this anonymous came and what he intends to do? I mean, she has known Veer for some time now. Out of basic courtesy she could have thought saying Veer kahan hai? Pyar toh koi expect bhi nahe karta Bani se because we know she has a long journey to get to that point. Her motive is to revenge, she can never love Veer because he hasn’t been proved innocence, I get it! But Bani has simply forgotten to see the positive side and I hope Bani can reflect back to what Meera said regarding Veer can put her expedite thoughts to ease. Thora disappointed hon wahan. Lekin, this is my point of view only for the current episode. Makers may make her worrying for Veer’s safety in the next episode but if we were to discourse about the current situation that’s where I lack my connection with Bani.

Some people may not like to hear anything against Bani, but it’s a healthy criticism and not bashing. Neither Veer nor Bani can work seamlessly because they are disoriented in many ways and many ways, they are good observants and act accordingly where they need to. I don’t know how decently you can put these concerns in correct words. There was a chaos on twitter for this matter which lead to unnecessary fan war.

Precap toh main ne dekha nahe. But I hope Bani can dodge Jay and comes to know his sachai that he has always been a beguiler. I do want to see Bani giving back to Jay like a pro!!

On the contrary, will Aakesh's memories, override Veer's present notions about Naga and Naagins? Will he still love Bani the way he loved her before?

Ooops I forgot i reserved one comment section for it😆

Thanks, Ahili.😊

Yes, Bani really needs to step down a little. Looking down upon another kind is not what her Bholenath has taught her. You are right, she comes off as bratty, opinionated and insensitive, nowadays, most of the time, not sometimes.

Exactly, Bani is unnerved by Veer's love, which is when she allows, quite willingly, I might add Naageshwari to take over and hurl her hatred at him, to avoid thinking over this altogether.

I guess, but for that Gandhak needs to make its way to its master. If it has come to Bani, then probably Bani will be lead to Veer, or something else. Either way, Veer will be saved.

I think this will be the last batch of petty games from Jai without Bani knowing a thing about it. After this most probably, everything will be revealed to her.
