Great review as always, Dwipanita! I agree with a lot of what you've said, particularly about the scenes you enjoyed in Sunday's ep.

I feel like the last 4 episodes - or at least last Sunday's through to this Sunday's - should be viewed as an extended episode to really see what this whole track is trying to do. The week's break in between makes it all feel disjointed and frustrating (that's not to say the eps don't warrant that) but I imagine on a binge-watch, they'd flow a little easier.

The nonsense of the supernatural elements aside, these episodes have been showing us every aspect of Bani's love for Veer, from giddiness to intimacy to trust and everything in between. The track was also about Bani choosing to be with Veer, not out of some majboori or destiny, but because she wants to live a life with him. I loved Veer and Bani's vows to each other. They felt solid and weighty - all about forging their own path regardless of who stands in the way, in defiance of those who proclaim they are wrong for being together. Bani's vows in particular (because we always knew the depth of Veer's love) stood out - she told him in no uncertain terms that she will love and trust him as unconditionally as he does her, that he will always be first in her estimation and in her eyes, that he alone will have every right on her for as long as they live. It's everything he wanted to hear from her and more. I liked the way Surbhi and Sharad played both of those scenes, and kudos to them for bringing that angst and chemistry across despite not having shot together. Side note: I found Jai's expressions as Bani was saying her vows hilarious...it was as if he truly thought she was saying them to him. I think he genuinely believed that Veer would not be able to break out of his hypnotism in time, and Bani would just take that final phera with him and end up accidentally married to him...

I also enjoyed Bani's little rant in the bedroom. We all joked that Bani would murder Veer for running off to marry Chandni, and here she was, saying the exact words we'd imagined "tumhari itni himmat?!" Obviously, she's learned the art of provocation in order to get a reaction from Veer himself. I'd have loved him to wake up during that scene (esp after her threat to kiss him), but alas...I still loved that she stayed with him, head pressed against his chest, and that every time she woke, his name was the first thing to pass her lips.

I was annoyed at Ballu's weird evasion of the truth of what happened to Veer. I counted at least four scenes between the two eps where he was ranting vaguely about some aafat befalling Veer...but every time he was asked to explain it, he mumbled something and walked away. Either tell your family what's going on or don't, just stop being so vague and unhelpful about it. I did like that he thanked Bani, and has seemingly accepted her (at least for now) as his bahu. I guess he knows she's the lesser of two evils in comparison to Chandrakala. On one side is the enemy who nevertheless risks her own life to save Veer and bring him home, and on the other, the biological mother who would put her own son in danger and use him to further her own nefarious goals.

I always wondered whether the answer to the question "would you give up your powers for me?" would result in Bani becoming temporarily human...interesting that they did it for Veer instead, but I suspect it's got something to do with why Chandni/Markaat wanted his powers in the first place. It seems he gets his powers back quickly by next week, so we'll see what comes of this whole situation.

I saw some comments about how Bani's gift to Veer was "a gift for herself"...I find this a very unfair reading of this moment. The ring itself is clearly not the gift...the ring is a representation of Bani's commitment to Veer, her telling him that she is his as much as he is hers, that if he wears her ring and becomes hers "by haq", then she'll wear his and become the same. She was planning to give this to him before all of this drama happened, before the SR, in the moment where she was going to tell him what was in her heart. So in that moment, by giving him the ring, she would have unequivocally proclaimed herself his for life. Reducing that symbolism to "haha, look how self-centred she is, she bought herself a gift" seems very unfair to me, but sadly par for the course over here.

IDK, sometimes the comments I see on this board make me feel that Bani could literally kill herself to save Veer, but people would still say she didn't suffer enough...there seems to be literally nothing she can do that would satisfy, no amount of tears, emotional vulnerability or love she could display that would be enough for some. Meanwhile, Balwant and/or the cheels manage to do just about the bare minimum, and are praised through the roof for it. Truth be told, it makes discussions on this forum feel very one-dimensional and monotone. Sure, the track is definitely rushed, but personally I feel that if we can't look beyond that at this point, we're constantly going to be disappointed. Anyway, I'm not suggesting that anyone can change another's mind on where they stand vis a vis Bani, and everyone's entitled to their opinion; I just wish it didn't feel like a wasted effort to try and find some balance here.

Precap-wise, I don't know why, but I feel like Jai is being set up re: this centipede thing. How convenient that the bottle was just lying around for Bani to find...I don't want this to be the case, but I wonder if, in order to glorify Jai again, they're going to turn Meera negative? The fact that Bani was ready to kill Jai for what he's done was great, but then of course he is wounded by someone else...I'm thinking that perhaps he finds out that someone (aka Meera) is a villain, comes to Bani to tell her that and gets shot with the arrow right at that moment. Him saying "she's gonna kill everyone" is meant to make us/Bani think he's talking about Markaat, but I don't think it actually is that. For one thing, everyone already knows Markaat wants to kill them, there's no suspense there. At this point, if Markaat was free, she'd simply come and try to kill everyone rather than ranting about it. But it feels like they want this weird dynamic with Jai to continue, and so they'll have Bani turn against him for a moment, only for him to actually have been framed by some other mastermind, and he'll then help Bani and Veer/the cheels to defeat this person. Like I said, I don't want this to happen, because a) it's tiresome to have this continued weird dynamic with Jai, but b) aside from Veer, Meera is the only person Bani trusts completely, and to have one of her only supports then turn against her is too predictable a concept. But we'll see...

All in all, this week's eps were okay. The marriage tracks were clearly dragged out in a way this show doesn't usually drag things out, but that was probably due to it being the holidays and them wanting to let their actors have some time off, so whatever. At least it's done now. I'm hoping for some good Vani action next week, whatever form that takes. Now that they are both expressive in and open about their love for each other, their dynamic is again going to be different to what we're used to, but I look forward to it.

I loved your interpretation of bani's pinning for Veer! That definitely reached me!😳 I just felt it is a bit rushed! Her expression of love was very palpable though!😳 I liked the whole role reversal!😳

Aah finally someone who gets it and is thinking the same thing about Bani as I am. Yes, what people don't understand nor get is that the gift is not the ring. Like you said it's her commitment to him and her acceptance of their relationship.

Also, like you said could be that Jai is being set up(even through I still would not trust him completely), but in this instance could be he is being set up. And definitely the 'she' mentioned by Jai, I also don't think is Markaat.

Thank you! smiley9 It's definitely rushed, no denying that at all. This is like taking 4 months of Veer's deewanapan and unconditional love for Bani and role-reversing it into a 4-5 ep super-dramatic track...so it's natural to feel it's a bit rushed. Where initially they were being subtle (sometimes too subtle!) about Bani's changings feelings for Veer (and personally, I do feel they were constantly showing her developing feelings for him, if not in word then in action or expressions), now they've taken the opposite tack and are hitting us over the head with them. Personally I prefer the more subtle and built up approach, but I guess they felt that in the main, their audience needed it to be spelled out for them in the most dramatic ITV fashion. So here we are. Either way, the "subtle" horse has already bolted, and rushed or not, I'm happy that we're getting these feelings from Bani's perspective as well.

I think the writers did a clever thing by having Bani literally use Veer's words and mannerisms in that bedroom scene in order to make that link. She realised the pain he went through every time she mentioned Jai's name, and the frustration he must have felt when she didn't respond to him. Additionally, and I don't know if the writers intended this, but during the vows when she talked about him being the only person to touch her, I was taken back to that moment when Veer tells her that one day she will be the one who wants to touch him, to be close to him. Again, it felt like a recognition on Bani's part of the confidence Veer had on his love, and that Bani now has on hers. We can all wish for this to have unfolded in a different way (and I for one feel the need for a third wedding so as to actually have the two of them in the same mandap and under no influence of any kind smiley24smiley36) but ultimately, I personally connect to Bani's feelings for Veer (and always have), so no matter how rushed the execution, I'm happy we get to see it.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks this way! I thought a lot about whether I wanted to post this or not because it felt a bit ranty, but it's not intended as a dig at anyone...just me wanting to redress the balance a little bit, and maybe bring a different point of view across 😳. Glad others see it the same way.

Agreed re: Jai though. I don't trust him as far as I can throw him, and he made that clear in Sunday's ep. I can't decide yet if he's involved in the centipede thing or not...I just don't think he's the mastermind. They specifically showed one of those things attacking Meera and Jai saving her, and IDK, it felt fishy. And then in the precap it's obviously Meera telling Bani: oh, Jai threw some water on this thing and it calmed it down blah blah blah. Could be nothing, but this is Ekta, so could definitely be something as well šŸ˜† The "she" is definitely IMO not Markaat. Could be Meera, could even be Chandni (?) or someone else entirely. I still don't know if we'll get an answer to who Jai was talking to - clearly not Chandrakala since he wouldn't tell her his plan...

True! I also felt bani's changing feelings for Veer a lot of times, but they were always implicitly portrayed! Human feelings are anyways hard to decipher! There were two ways the writers could have shown Veer having an effect on bani, this whole time. One, with monologues! Mahn! The show would had so much clarity with monologues for bani! The first signs of concern I ever saw in bani's eyes for Veer was the naagfani incidence! Even makers had tried to potray that incidence as a turning point in VaNi's equation! Even if from then, they had showed some difference in bani's behaviour towards veer, it would have contributed to a good built up! But, after naagfani, she was back to intensely hating him again!

Secondly, the makers could have shown by throughout actions of bani, that she's changing in terms of Veer! But even that wasn't potrayed! So, all in all, we had a lot of intensity and growing physical tension scenes between,but the vulnerability was missing between them from bani's side! On the other hand, Veer's feelings were so very evident on his face! He was THE VEERANSHU SINGHANIA otherwise, sassy,rude, full of attitude, cares a damn about the world, but the moment he use to come infront of bani, his expressions were like an open book! It was written all over his face, that he loves her intensely! I wanted to see that difference in behaviour, expressions and body language from bani's side when she infront of the world Vs when she's in close proximity of Veeranshu! Ofc, its a subjective thing to feel! I just felt that way!

So ironically, their ever so unconventional love story has been one of the most subtle ones in an otherwise overdramatic show!šŸ˜†

No winds blowing, 100 camera angles, no temple bells ringing, weird bgs, nothing! Just two people being in one frame!šŸ˜†ā¤ļøStaring and Reacting towards each other with intense eyes!šŸ˜† Even that got us hooked to VaNi!ā¤ļø

Coming to present, yes! Built up or no built up, THIS bani is what I always wanted to see!😳We have always said this that Veer has been one of the most confident lovers of ITV!šŸ˜† He literally predicated everything that bani is going to feel! And bani is finally feeling it, 10X times more!šŸ˜†

I personally felt the way bani was on top of Veer, saying all those provoking things was quite intense! It would have been romantic if veer was conscious, but that's a different story!šŸ˜†

The ring scene came as a very cute scene to me! She was urging him to make her, his forever! The desperation was very evident!😳

For sure. I never understood why they didn't include inner monologues to portray Bani's inner turmoil regarding Veer. In the Shakura days, they had Meera say things that indicated she could see Bani's feelings changing, and even Bani at that point was saying and doing things to imply that her hatred for him was lessening. Personally, I felt the real turning point was when she found out he'd saved her life. I felt that after that point, any residual hate she had for him disappeared. After that, she continued to act as if she was indifferent to him, but it was just that - an act. Whether to protect herself from falling for him (or admitting it), or just to tease/flirt with him in a roundabout way. That's definitely a point at which I would have wanted a monologue or two to clarify where she was at. But the subtleties were there - Bani subconsciously knowing that she could trust Veer, not only with her life but with Meera's too (arguably a more important acknowledgement, because Meera is so precious to her), or letting him touch her without immediately jolting back or reacting badly, or seeking his support at various points. Yes, it was subtle, but I felt I could read between the lines of what they wanted to portray. Agree that the monologues would have made it more explicit though!

Ofc, its a subjective thing to feel! I just felt that way! Veer's feelings have never been an unknown, purely because from the word go, he was all in. There was never any doubt, any confusion or turmoil for him, and we saw that from his side in every interaction of theirs in the early days. It's easy therefore to relate and connect to him, because he has no push-pull within him regarding his feelings for her, and he's not trying to hide them. I wanted to see that same intensity from Bani towards him too, and I guess we are seeing that now. In the last few eps especially, she's constantly flitting from person to person trying to get them to help her with Veer - asking Daksh and Ponky to watch out for him, asking Tapish to help with bringing him back, even to the point of openly admitting her love for him to Balwant, with whom she shares the barest of relationships. Her breaking the gathbandhan with Jai to rush to Veer's side was important too - indicating to Jai yet again where her priorities lie. And it looks like next week she is continuing to be open about that love in front of the family (I can't tell if Veer's actually kissing her or not right in front of Tapish šŸ˜† but either way, she's not holding back).

I like the fact that it wasn't overly dramatic and typical from the beginning. All of those trip-fall-catches often feel belaboured, especially in the early days if two people don't actually appear to like each other. Vani were always special and different and their early interactions will always be some of my favourite moments. I'm not saying I don't have disappointments about how we got to this point (and personally I miss the firebrand, moofat Bani a lot...even if she's now in love with Veer, I want that aspect of her personality back), but I'm enjoying seeing Bani's love for him now. As they say, der aaye, durust aaye!

The ring scene came as a very cute scene to me! She was urging him to make her, his forever! The desperation was very evident!😳 My favourite bit was the scene outside at the end, where she tries to cheer him up, and also tells him that she's in this with him. I think he was surprised to see that from her; he must have been feeling very powerless (literally but also figuratively) and down in the dumps, and his shy smile was very cute. It's such a shame that all of this love stuff is happening under this extremely traumatic experience for both of them...they've hardly had a moment to breathe since the paani-track, and for Veer especially, Bani's acknowledgment of her love must mean so much, but he's hardly in a state right now to savour it all šŸ˜’

Kind of felt since the beginning that Bani was very much attracted to Veeranshu. More than hatred it was intense anger - how could she feel so deeply for an enemy ? Veeranshu kept on following her after Noor's incident, but he knew that you can't clap with one hand. It was never a one sided affair - Bani couldn't ever subdue Veeranshu, but would always be in awe of him. Whatever free hand she got was because Veeranshu loves her fiery nature. Look at the scene in which Bani allows Veeranshu to apply ointment at her back, when he put the sindoor & mangalsutra on her - what did she do ? Did she push him away or fight with him ? No. She was left standing in awe, perplexed & astonished to the core. I agree that makers should have given more monologues to Bani so that we could get an insight into her thoughts & emotions, instead we have to assume things on our own.

Definitely. Since the beginning, everything she has done has been in reaction to Veer. Even impulsively announcing her engagement/wedding to Jai was done to annoy Veer, not necessarily because she wanted to marry the former. That's why Veer always said that no matter what, the one thing Bani could never do was ignore him. And that's why he pursued her, I guess, because he felt convinced that it wasn't a one-sided attraction.

I totally agree that there's a difference in being subtle and in leaving holes for the audiences to fill up themselves. This isn't the first show where I (and fans) have been left to interpret or assume things for ourselves šŸ˜†. It always surprises me because I think that if I were a writer on these shows, I would not leave it to chance interpretation that the fans would pick up on our ever so subtle clues...but then who knows what conversations go on in the writers' rooms when they put pen to paper...

But that's the thing na, why were we always subjected to assumptions!šŸ˜† Assumptions itself leads to ambiguity!šŸ˜† They are narrating a story to us! Hell, even a book has a narrator, we are atleast given clues to what the characters are feeling! Bani having a soft corner for veer and bani falling heads over heels for him was quite a huge high jump!šŸ˜† Imagine a catepillar directly turning into a butterfly! Cacoon ka stage skip kiya toh kitna ajeeb lagega? Waisa hai yaha! Till the Navraatri episode, bani's feelings were in a catepillar mode and after then cacoon ka stage aane hi laga tha ki bamm, they directly went for the butterfly as in SR!🤣Toh yaha thodi progression hi maar di yeh log ne!šŸ˜†

I agree! Those fiery conversations were full of intensity!ā˜ŗļøā¤ļøMy favorite will always remain 'Tum meri patni ho.......*pause*ā˜ŗļø.....BANI!Uff!!! That scene!!! Goosebumps all over for me! I doubt they will bring it back! Bani has past that stage longgg back!šŸ˜†


Same, I was very shocked that she straddled him smiley36 it reminded me of the naagfani incident where he woke up and was like "aww, did you want to kiss me?"...if only he'd been conscious now smiley36

Wish we get a scene like this in full hosh before the show ends!šŸ˜†


My favourite bit was the scene outside at the end, where she tries to cheer him up, and also tells him that she's in this with him. I think he was surprised to see that from her; he must have been feeling very powerless (literally but also figuratively) and down in the dumps, and his shy smile was very cute. It's such a shame that all of this love stuff is happening under this extremely traumatic experience for both of them...they've hardly had a moment to breathe since the paani-track, and for Veer especially, Bani's acknowledgment of her love must mean so much, but he's hardly in a state right now to savour it all smiley13

That's the pattern N5 follows! They don't give breathing space between two tracks!šŸ¤” Its overdose of drama sometimes! Not necessary something tense needs to keep happening all the time! All their tracks are so heavy on drama! Maybe one lighter track could happen! But, its mukta didi....who are we talking about!šŸ˜†
