So, here's the thing. Despite all the ghatiya BTS of the last week...I actually found this ep pretty decent. Maybe - gasp! - even more than yesterday's. Yesterday's was perfect for Vani love, but this one flowed better, IMO, and was consistent in one thing: Bani's love for and utter devotion to her Veeranshu
The 'going on the moon' thing is still whatever but I liked how Bani took no more than a couple of minutes to go through her heartbreak at Veer's words before quickly realising and accepting that something was wrong with him, and that she had to save him. She never wavered from that. I also liked the number of times she shut Jay up 😆 I'm still not okay with her forgiving him, but she was pretty clear in their final scene when she was like "listen, if you're not here to help me, you can shut up because I'll save Veer any way I can, even if I do it alone". It felt good to have her say those words to Jay after so long of nothing.
I also liked that they added a random Vani flashback - it was cute, and sparky like they are
The new girl did fine, I thought, and I know she was meant to be OTT, but my God, the way she screeched Veeeeeeeeeeeeeraaaaaaaaaaaaaansshuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu like 17 times really grated on me 🤣 We were talking earlier today about the way Bani says Veeranshu using every syllable, but this girl was on another level. I felt like it took her 10 minutes each time to say his name 😆 also she's way too chipku 😡 but like, was she his childhood friend on Earth or did he used to play on the moon? I couldn't quite figure it out.
I wonder why the moon rajkumari needs to marry the Cheel rajkumar...but she was clearly pushing for it quite heavily. I liked the callback to the Sea God's words because it felt like that was our Veer remembering the trap the Sea God had laid. It was like a moment of doubt in his brain.
It looks like Jay will be the one to suggest the fake wedding, presumably because he wants to remain in Bani's good books. I'm not sure what Jay is actually doing, in that case - who's he talking to on the phone all the time? It doesn't seem like he's involved with Chandni/Markaat unless they're going to reveal that next week. But as of now, he looks like na ghar ka, na ghaat ka...basically nothing more than a prop for Bani to use in getting Veer back.
In the precap, Veer says "no matter what, I want to be with you" and he's looking at Bani while he says it. I think the precap is meant to confuse us into thinking he's talking to/about Chandni, but in actual fact, he's talking to Bani. Chandni said that wishes made on the moon come true, so I think that will be the point where Veer says what's in his heart, which is that he wants to be with Bani, and that will break the spell and send him home.
It's interesting that both for Bani and Veer, the question of intention has come up. The bird-god thing told Bani to stop talking about "haalaat" or "destiny" or whatever, and think about what she wants, and clearly what she wants is Veer. Similarly, the moon gives you your heart's desire, apparently, so I think this track is intended for Veer and (more importantly) Bani to show each other that, destiny or nature or circumstances don't matter. They are together because they want and intend to be together. It may also lead to a track about the difficulties of a naagin-cheel union, but that is fine for me because it's again more progression for Vani, and at this point, Bani doesn't give a crap about nature...she's all in 😳
So yeah, slightly miffed that the wedding drama will go on till Sat, but it seems to be coming together the way we want it to be, so I'm okay with it.
Also, looks like the cheels are all involved in the Jay-Bani "wedding" drama. Chalo, Cheel Bahu got her sasural involved after all 😆
Random, but they must pay that mehendi photographer a bonus; kya kamaal ki photos li hai! 🤣
Edit: @Humes - I think the vision thing is temporary, just to make her journey more difficult and for her to prove her "Savitri"ness...I guess when she gets up there her vision comes back, because she' sees Veer getting ready to marry Chandni per the precap.
Edit 2: Bani is an utter savage re: Markaat 😆 the smirk she gave while torturing her Saasumaa would have made Sanki Singhania super proud 😆 pativrata patni apne patidev jaisi hogayi 😆 I'm glad she didn't free Markaat (but someone clearly does...)
Edit 3 (I keep remembering stuff 😆): this gufaa-wale uncle turned unfriendly super fast! Last time he was all "hey, lemme help you out with this unhelpful one-time only power!" and now he's like "you can't just demand things for free now...there's a cost involved". Is he a godly being or a drug dealer 😕? 🤣
Edit 4: I liked that Bani (and the show) acknowledged she hasn't said ILU to Veer yet...it seems like they're saving that for another moment.
