Naagin 7: Episode Discussion Thread #1 - Page 127

While I do like your POV but again I have to agree to disagree with some of your points-

And yes it's not just going to his ex house. He's still mentally completely attached towards her , committed to her one sidedly. Any auspicious occasion, any mention of love or commitment reminds him of his ex. This is the text book definition of deewang whether we like it or not.

That ex could be Kunika's character if her latest photo doing the rounds with Aryamaan is anything to go by. However he needs to move on from his ex bcoz we all came to see Naagin here not a Saas Bahu saga like the Bhagyas where the ML character spends most of his time with his ex or the vamp rather than the main FL character and yet its accepted as some sort of a Mahaan Love story.

I've watched all the previous seasons of Naagin , some of them repeatedly. My favorite seasons were N1 , N3 and N5 which is why I only mentioned those seasons . I've seen S5 twice so I need not be reminded of Veer's absolutely single minded devotion and pagalpan for Bani . Heck! He even took another birth just to be with her and that was just the starting point of his character.

I have no words left to describe the amazing love story of VANI.The pairing was phenomenal showcasing Veer's extreme passion for Bani and Bani's moral dilemma as to how a predator could love her so strongly?

But I'm absolutely glad Aryaman is not like any previous mls. He's not like Ritwik, Mahir or Veer and that's exactly why I love him as a character so much. If I wanted him to be like Veer or Mahir , then I could just go and watch them...why do I need a new character ?

Yes agreed that Aryamaan's character needs to be different from every Naagin ML that came before him but he has that cynical trait which was there in Rishabh and Dev's character of N6 and N4 and both turned out to be debacles.Cynical ML characters work best in Saas Bahu genre not in a finite series like Naagin.

As I was discussing with another member, even Ananta is completely different from any previous Naagins. She's far more ruthless , grey coded and practically walking on a very narrow moral line and that's exactly what got me hooked.

And sloppy too.I like Ananta's way of taking revenge and her plans are also good but its not completely foolproof like Shivanya of N1 or Shivangi of N2 and Bela of N3.Bharni also pointed out Ahana's mistake of letting that Sapera escape inspite of him being in her sights and in today's episode she was almost gonna blurt out her Naagin secret due to the effects of the drug mixed in her whiskey glass and that too in front of that mobile camera.

When it comes to ruthlessness Ananta's Naagin character is second to none but since you have watched N1 yourself you would remember that Shivanya's planning and plotting methods were far more intricate and covered every tracks or loopholes with precision unlike Ananta.

Same applies to Shivangi too-in fact Shivangi was far more ruthless and emotionless compared to her mom Shivanya in N2.She never gave any chances or scope for escape to her adversaries unlike Ananta.

Hope Ananta/Ahana is far more careful in future when it comes to executing her plans bcoz her identity almost got exposed today in front of Aryamaan if he would have seen her reflection in that pool.

But all that will happen in good time. I'm for once is glad that they're not jumping guns with making Aryaman fall for her. It's a very refreshing and dare I say much needed, change from previous seasons where the ML practically falls for the fl head over heels on first sight. As much as I enjoyed those seasons it gets boring and tiring after a point of time to see the same story repeatedly.

I agree with you on this point that same flavors makes the storylines dull and boring after a while.As revealed today Aryamaan not only swapped Vikram's phone to send an SMS to Ahana but smartly deleted the evidence from that phone too however his plan was partly understood by Ahana when she arrived at Aryamaan's proposed dating venue thinking to be her mate Vikram's plan.

Aryamaan even went one step further and drugged Ahana's drink which almost led her to blurt out her Naagin secret and if the next episode tomorrow is anything to go by then perhaps her Naagin secret has got exposed in front of the Suris unless its a dream sequence altogether.

So what Aryamaan did today was far more calculative but it had no sound logic because his actions were backed by inner toxicity over not respecting either Ahana or Vikram's choice.

Aryamaan's actions whether its today or in future episodes can be backed if he's portrayed as a negative grey-shaded character.His actions could prove to be a hindrance in Ananta's revenge schemes then.He could be shown as hurting Ananta with his toxic or negative actions but with a hidden motive.

Let Aryamaan collaborate with the Suris in hunting for the Naagmani.It could be revealed much later that he forcefully married Ananta not bcoz he wanted to protect his sister but only to gain the Naagmani for himself.

If the viewers like Arhana's chemistry then Aryamaan can go through a reformation phase too.His ex could be shown as having left him due to his illegal activities in collaboration with the Suris also including his unhealthy obsession with her.

A negative shaded Aryamaan would be far more calculative and sharp-minded compared to a cynical whitewashed Aryamaan.Who knows he could have backstabbed Ahana perhaps to purposely help her gain her Naagin powers?

Aryamaan referred to Ahana as Beauty and himself as the Brain so let it be a fight between Ananta's avenger type beauty against Aryamaan's tactical brain.

Shivanya's planning and plotting was absolutely not any where even close to being full proof . She made tons of mistakes which then the 2nd naagin had to clear up. So that's not true at all. Same for Shivangi.

Also, none of them had Ananta's single minded focus.

Shivangi was a complete fool in love most times. her naivety compromised her mission and her own safety so many times. Again heavily supported by and totally relying on 2nd naagin.

Ananta also relies on Bharni but not to that extent . She carries most of the heavy lifting herself. I wish the older naagin was still around to help her though.

Shivanya too at times. None of them even came close to Ananta so far in terms of focus on mission. So she's already ahead of them. Neither of the earlier naagins were emotionless or tactical like her. Especially not the s1 and s2 naagins. Bela though came closer. She was really good.

Most of them became emotional fools after a point in time . So I'm just waiting to see if the makers can continue to keep Ananta the way she is now ( rn her character is perfect with no change needed.) Or will they reduce her character to a simpering fool like earlier season naagins in favor of lovestory?

Both Shivany and Shiangi gave their adversaries tons of chances. But Ananta didn't let go of the sapera because of a lack of oversight. It's part of her plan . She's a sequence in her mind according to the order of their crimes and she'll kill them one by one based on that. And I respect her for sticking to that and in between she'll torture others . So I disagree in that regard completely. I don't it was any mistake to let him go. His sudden death would've also alerted her enemies that the naagin is infact not dead , even before she can make an entry.

Also, the precap is a dream sequence or else there's no need or chance for Aryaman to swap the grooms and marry her as we already know will happen soon. So we've no reason to take the precap seriously.

I'm sure Aryaman is neither negative nor he's pretending to be negative to secretly help Ananta. None of those possibilities look likely and I'm fine with that. I'm fine with his character being a grade A jerk because that makes his character real. Like I said in another post , the kind of upbringing and poisonous family environment they've growing up , it's not possible for any of the children to grow up to be sane well adjusted and sorted human beings.

Aryaman is neither helping his family in their mission to fetch naagmani and whatever their mission to enter India nor Ananta in her mission to protect her country and avenge her family. He's a neutral party in the game of chess. He's Sweden. And that's absolutely what I love about his character, that his true alliance is flexible. He belongs to neither side.

Atp, he's just focused on giving Pinky her love of life aka zidd because he feels himself responsible for her happiness. Pinky didn't even want to confess her feelings for Vikram at first but Aryaman insisted and revealed the secret of her in front of Vikram and then gave her hope. So tbh , he is actually kind of responsible for the whole mess of her heartbreak.

I'm absolutely sure Aryaman has no other ulterior motive behind any of his actions and that's exactly what I love about his character . He isn't joining any team. I'd hate it if he joins his family against Ananta after knowing their true selves and I'm sure he won't. Because he'll become boring if he turns negative.

And he shouldn't join Ananta before the secret of his birth is revealed to him because again that'll turn his character into green flag positive. Again, boring.

I don't think they will reveal so soon Ananta's real Naagin form in front of everyone as the precap shown..she will still be innocent and someone else will take form.

Duh ... nobody is actually believing the precap to be true.

It's obvious it's a dream sequence. Or else why and how the groom swap wedding will happen?

will be candid , with the soaring trps, makers are take their sweet time to uncover her naagin roop and fair enough, the trp and buzz (Whether positive or hysterically notoriously perceived by the viewers) is giving them the revenue ..so why not?

This season is such a super duper hit that EK is thinking of bringing a Naagin movie.

That itself will tell the tale enough as to what kind of revenue they're rolling in.

Touchwood.

pinky's just an unnecessary furniture but i guess aryaman thinks he has some zariya to create bawal and groom swap happen lolalso, naagin revelation is most likely dream sequence or something that ananta/bharni gonna do to thwart aryaman's efforts lol

Mark my words, either it's a dream or even if it's real she'll make aryaman look like a fool. She's really good at that

I really don't want the groom swap track, it's so illogical and boring. Precap mein dekho, Arya looks like a tall khamba sabke saamne.

There are other ways to get them married. Agar aryaman ko gray hi rakhna hai, toh make him plan something and force ahana to marry or sabke saamne achanak uski maang bhar do. Or something else. Atleast it'll be more dramatic and give a new dimension to both his character and future relationship with ahana.

Who knows, there might not be a groom swap. Pinky (I really don't see why she was casted, there are many actresses or hopefuls who could have done better) said Vikram won't come to the mandap. They can play around with that. Otherwise any serial with Namik doesn't work with the groom swap idea, he is tall and the narrative acknowledges it. Unless they cast another actor who is of similar height it won't work. And Ananta's no fool, if no one else, she will catch him.
