That's the thing.
From what I could understand, they are associated with knowledge.
So why insert them in a story where the supernatural entity is romantically involved and is waiting for him to return?
Any daayan, chudhail, petni, shakchunni would do that work, right?
Yes, right. As the makers are showing Bengali culture in Aami Dakini and portraying the evil creature's interest in the male lead, they could've shown Shakchunni instead. A Shakchunni is a spirit of a married woman who seeks to fulfil her desire of having a nice husband and a normal married life. She didn't have a good married life and faced cruelty and abuse when she was alive. She targets happily married women. So, it would've made more sense if they chose Shakchunni rather than Dakini.
