Okay, time for a rant. Apologies if anyone feels I'm being overly critical, just stating what's been bugging me for a long time...
I agree to the extent that they've sort of underpowered Pratha a lot. She's supposed to be this Sarva Shreshta Shesh Naagin who's meant to save the world but recently all she has done is being a lovesick puppy behind her fake husband who used to doubt her 24*7 and now suddenly wants to be with her and confessed his love for her on his knees and saying SRK's cringe dialogues to her.
It seems very rushed and out of the blue to me. This is exactly why I wanted them to go slow with their love story but no, they rushed thru each & every track and now I can't understand from where our ML and FL's emotions are coming from. No doubt the actors are gorgeous & doing a decent job, no doubt their chemistry is amazing BUT when it comes to their characters - toh I don't understand ki itna saara pyaar aa kahan se raha hai, kyun aa raha hai, why it's so intense and so strong all of a sudden and what exactly is the basis of it... Their relationship is definitely not based on trust, perhaps it could be attraction, could be guilt from Rishab's side for doubting her without proof, but I'm sorry I'm just not convinced with the strength of their emotions.
Also, I've no qualms with the FL falling first for ML in naagin franchise, but I don't understand her being sooo lovesick to the extent that for 20min of the epi Pratha can be seen crying after seeing Rishab Reem together in antakshari or some other stupid sh*t.
See, I'm all for PraRish romance, but when they've introduced a theme as serious as the pandemic, then they need to handle it with the same sincerity and gravity. I'm sure from next week onwards all we're gonna get is Saas-Bahu drama and Maa-Beta manipulation, which I have no issues with. Lekin agar yahi sab same track chalana tha toh aisi theme rakhi hi kyun..
Pratha is on a mission here. Mahek is 100% correct when she screams at Pratha about being careless regarding her naagmani, about letting her emotions get in the way, about letting Rishab affect her this much. People are supposed to be dying because of this unnamed virus.
When you see past Naagins, all of them were on a revenge spree so it was personal for them, hence the stakes were not that high. But this time, the entire population is supposed to be at risk of dying. Pratha needs to be given a reality check. Plus the writers need to make her use her brains AND give her more powers AND make her use those powers and NOT call Bholenaath for help for every single freakin thing.
