Okay, so heya fellas, sorry I am late with my review, lekin kya karun yaar, busy packing for a flight, but could not resist writing up my take for the weekender. Honestly bolu, I was so not interested to watch the episodes this weekend, lekin kya karun, aadat episodes dekhne ki nahi lagi, but aap logo se baat karne ki lagi hai, discuss karne ki lagi hai😆. I think I am more addicted to the forum than I am to the show😆. Kyunki, Naagin 5 has really lost its touch with a lot of things.🤔
Sabse pehle, I would like to thank Voot, uss Saturday night karaoke ke badle unke diye huye tracks was soothing to my ears. It was bearable. What wasn't bearable was the absence of Naagin logic throughout the weekend. If you ask me, the weekend episodes were on the lowest scale in my opinion compared to any other episodes, with the BTS screwing our minds over. Don't worry, aisa nahi hai that there are no positive parts to the episodes, but yes, it was an overall disappointment in my opinion. So, here it goes,
Highlights - Yayyy!!!👍🏼
The Consummation - Although I am still totally against the consummation in midst of hypnotic villainy, I would say that they managed to pull it off aesthetically and tastefully. The chemistry is really off the charts and had this been OTT, it would have been much more☺️, but yes ITV viewers and TRP aunties would not have preferred it😉. And both Bani and Veeranshu were there completely, emotionally, and physically. And thankfully, there was more of carefree and fun-loving Bani and Veeranshu taking a backseat that way. And Veeranshu was cautious to not make Bani uncomfortable in any way. And allowed her free will in the lovemaking aspect. I have read some posts where people were not comfortable with Veeranshu ogling at his wife via the mirror, but it was just a moment, and he tore his eyes away which is more gentlemanly, unlike Shakura, even under hypnosis. So overall, it was nice and pleasing, only if it wasn't running in the back of my mind that what will happen next morning.🤔
Balwant & Chandrakala - Okay, so I don't know about you all, but I enjoyed this moment😆. It was fun seeing this duo interact like it was hell of fun😆. The way Chandrakala was saying, "Balwant, mere pati"🤣 it was so damn funny. And Ponky, to be honest, ye kyun bana hai Cheel😳. Bas Sunday raat ko hi Cheel banke uda, warna bande ko kuch bhi fruitful karte huye kabhi nahi dekha maine.
Jai ko dose - Kahaan tha maine, Bani ko ek aur dose dene ki zarurat hai Jai ko🤣. Uski limit yaad dilane ke liye. Mujhko inki ajeeb si convenience wali dosti samajh nahi aati hai boss, but jo bhi hai, jitna bhi hai, Bani ne woh line draw kiya hai. "Royal Friendzone" wala line😆. Isko ab samajh jana chahiye, Bani nahi aane wali iske jhaase me, phir bhi try marta rehta hai. Arre burbak, tere power-hungry plans ka kya hua, tel lene gaya hai kya??🤪 Ab to isko woh War wali Hrithik look di hai, jaise desh fateh karne ja raha ho. Iske new look ka funda samajh nahi pada mereko? Ya to ye complete villain ban raha hai, ya phir ye grey ban raha hai, jahaan ye mauka milne par Bani ki help bhi karega, lekin Veeranshu se iska chattis ka aakda bhi rahega. Jo bhi ho, bande se kuch to karwao. He is the third lead for God's sake. I mean he should have some story. If you have given him the role of the likes of Shesha and Vish, then make him so something meaningful re🤔.
Bani as Savitri - Okay, so the point which I have been making, is this track is totally Bani oriented and how they will transform her into a pativrata devi for Veeranshu. See, Veeranshu never saw any lines or boundaries when it came to love. He already surpassed these lines and rules of "kudrat ka niyam" because he is consumed by his love for Bani. But technically, Veeranshu belongs to darkness, he is a scavenger, they don't observe any rules and niyam. But Bani belongs to light, Bholenath ke vardaan ki haqdaar, Adi Naagin. The world she belongs to observes these niyam, kanoon, rules of not bypassing the rules set by nature - two natural enemies falling in love. Hence, she will pay prices and witness further struggles for sticking with the choice she has made.
Cheels ki Thukai - I loved when Balwant and Pawan got that winglash from Veeranshu and Ponky and Daksh were like shoved down. Damn, I enjoyed it. Served them right.🤣
Highlights - Nayyy!!👎🏼
Self-explanatory screenplay??? - I mean what is the issue with them explaining things. Or do they just make shows for blind TRP aunties who just swallow, whatever they dish out? Dude, we watch with brains in our heads. I mean come on, inn logo ne to thaan liya hai, ki kuch bhi samjhayenge nahi hum, aap log khud samjho. Aur boss, hum ye karte bhi aaye hai. Lekin hamesha aisa thode hi na hota hai. Kabhi to kuch samjhao. Kabhi to kuch clarity lao. I mean, seriously. This weekend was such a failure in terms of the screenplay, transitions, scenes. The essence was weird, to say the least. Veeranshu is under hypnosis but is zoning in and out of it, and being in that zone, he is not even expressing his happiness that finally the woman he wanted for himself, is accepting him, his love. I mean where is the emotion we saw when he met his mother after years. Ye bhi to utni hi badi baat hai. Kuch to dikhao. Infact, Surbhi seemed to be overcompensating for the lack of emotions from Veeranshu's end which Veeranshu should be feeling. Cannot go, subtle dude, when the love of your life is accepting your love. And then this hypnosis, explain kaun karega?? Kaise hota hai, kab hota hai. Koi to trigger hoga, ya phir ek jammed machine gun hai, kahin bhi kabhi bhi shuru😆. Kya hai ye???🤔
Editing and Songs - Iske baare me aur kya hi kahun. Saale log, zarur BTS edit karte hai saara saara din, isiliye they are so short on time to edit the episodes🤣. I mean this weekend the episodes were like, someone vomited on the editing table. I mean koi aaga peecha, kuch nahi tha. Bas raita phaila huya tha weekend pe. Random gaane bajte hai. Episode ke beech me 8 ghante pehle aa jata hai, jab ki woh episode ke shuruaat me aana chahiye, Himanshu Gadani ne apna pura playlist de diya inn logo ko😆, pure date ki maa behen ek kar chodi inn karamjalo ne😡, itne gaane bajaye. Karte kya ho be, sote ho kya episodes edit karne time pe. Hadh hai. Kuch bhi dikhate hai, kuch bhi. This week is the worst possible editing of the episode than any other episode. Bad news, real bad news. TRP aunties ko gudgudee aayi ho ya na aayi ho, mujhko bilkul hasee nahi aayi makers🤔.
Observations:
Ek to Balwant jaise karamphuteya aadmi nahi dekha hai maine😡. Cheels chill hote hai samajh aata hai, lekin itna bhi nahi hona chahiye, ki bete ke mood and fitrat transitions na dikhe. Kaise baap hai ye, jo usko dikhta nahi that his son is not normal. Usse jyada dimaag to Tapish me hai, jo dekh sakta hai that his brother is not normal re. Has he ever seen or observed his son behaving in that way? Woh badtameez hai, spoilt hai, jerk hai, but woh aadmi pe depend karta hai. He behaves differently with different people. I mean laahnati aadmi ko samajh nahi aata kuch, bas fayda dhundna hai apna😡. Ye hai tumhara pyaar bete ke liye. Achcha hua, achche se pada tumko Cheel rajkumar ke wings ka jhapata😆. Serves you and your cronies right. Lekin ek baat ye bhi samajh gaya hai, jab tak Adi Naagin inke saath hai, ye log safe hai, chaahe jitna bhi kurkur kare, saath me milke rehna padega. Isiliye usko Veeranshu ko normal karne ka sochna chahiye, naki Adi Naagin ko ungli karne ka ya Chandrakala ko sursuri dene ka. Chhapri budhao!😡
As I had said previously, since this is a more TRP bound Naagin, the focus will entirely shift to Bani, and her unnatural marriage to a Cheel Rajkumar, who has to give multiple tests to be with the man she loves, going against nature. This marriage was a means to an end, for revenge. But now she is in love with her enemy. So, more than Veeranshu, Bani will have to struggle. Kudrat ka niyam todogi to koi saath nahi dega, aisa samjhana chahte hai ye. Like when the oracle Vikaj told her to think big and think deep, the essence of that meeting was, you have chosen to be married to your natural enemy, breaking the laws of nature, now you have to face the challenges such a choice brings with itself. And it started from her marriage with Veeranshu itself and went a notch higher with the consummation and now it has come to safeguarding that husband. I guess, in a way it explains why Adi Naagin does not get much help from her own clan, because shaadi ke baad to she is technically now a Naagin who is part of the Cheel kul, so it could be an explanation for lack of support. Well, that is my opinion technically, kyunki bhai ye log to kuch samjhayenge nahi.🤔
Suhaagraat ki to mummy daddy kar di aap logo ne, lekin uski bharpaayi to kar hi sakte ho aap log. Please make Veeranshu normal and compensate for the headache we all went through this last week by giving us good VAni romance. It doesn't need to be a consummation, it can be deep meaningful conversations, some pool romance, some shower romance, and more such ITV tropes. Cause, the situation was such, that pre and post date everything lacked emotions. The apology did not reach my heart, the date was a little forced, cause they haven't reached that level of the relationship, the consummation was all hormones in my opinion. Such scenes should have more emotion. Anyway, this season lacks emotional depth. So please, it is a request makers, show us Veeranshu's emotional regret and repentance for those words, show us more emotional meaningful scenes between VAni. You guys have two powerhouses in Sharad and Surbhi when it comes to emotions - usko utilize kariye, warna ye jo rubbish aapne phailaya hai woh work nahi karta towards TRP. **USE YOUR LEADS AND THEIR ACTING PROWESS TO THE FULLEST. WARNA TRP NAHI AAYEGI.PERIOD.**
Ab kya katora leke bheek mangungi tab jaake khulaasa karoge???😔 Arre Shukla, Teer, Monil??? Kya hua sab ka??? Bantadhaar ho gaye do characters, closure to do yaar. Hum chutiya nahi hai. Hum maarke nahi bhul jaate. Aap logo ko yaad dilaate dilaate thak gayi main. Bani ko mahaan banana hai na, tu mauka hai na - Shukku baby ka game bajao. Uss murakh aurat ka dimaag ka chakri jab khol hi diya hai, to yaad dilao ki Shukku baby ke kriya kalaap kya kya hai. Ballu bahut uchchal raha hai. Shukla iski achchi khaasi bajaye aur Bani bachane to aaye to muh band ho jana hai, temporarily😈.
Okay, so this is completely my opinion, but I am tired of seeing villains doing their deeds and Bani, the Naagin just reacting to it or foiling it. Firstly, iss story me revenge gul hai, Bani ka ab tak dimaag gul tha. I haven't seen her doing any planning, plotting, strategizing for like forever. Kyun??? Naagin hai woh, aur koi aisi waisi nahi, Adi Naagin hai. Zara to madam ko game khelte huye, dushman ki bolti band karte huye dikhao. I really want to see Bani touching that grey area in her persona. I mean the best example was Shivanya. She was terrific as Naagin. Or Nagrani Bela, even she was good. You guys have created such good Naagins, what is wrong with this one? Firstly she has no help, because the only one who can be of help is Jai as a Nagvanshi, and he is out to get her. The other one who can help her is Veeranshu, the Cheel Rajkumar. Why don't you utilize him? Arre iske chalte humko dono ke beech ka connection aur unki adrishya shaktiyon ka pata chalega. Please, I really want to see a formidable team in this pair. Kyunki other seasons, the heroes were humans, but this season he is a supernatural entity himself. Utilize that for God's sake.🤔
Okay, last one, did anyone feel odd when Vikaj addressed Bani as Naageshwari. Koi isko Naageshwari bulata hai to mujhko bahut bura lagta hai boss😆. For me Bani can never be Naageshwari, woh sirf Hina hi thi. Whenever I see Hina as Adi Naagin Naageshwari, I am like, why Bani is her reincarnation😆. Anyway, just my opinion.
So that's from me. Please share your comments, views, and opinions.😊
