*Disclaimer: The following content is a light reflection that leaves out any scope for critique. We are strictly talking puzzling moments that may come as a shock to the viewers.

We are back after a week of watching TV shows with a new installment of kuch bhi moments. TV is at just the right juncture with enough new shows, new goof-ups and a few surprises from old favourites. Between all the leaps and revamps that are currently trending, we noticed that the possibilities of onscreen blunders aren't dying down any time soon.

Sometimes TV takes a huge leap in terms of technical work and blows us away with smart editing and visually stunning sequences. It happens week after week and we were just lucky enough to tag along and witness these on screen. This week's theme leans towards technical glitches that can easily translate into a short circuit of the common sense. Scroll through for the kuch bhi moments around errors so covert, you might have missed out on them-

This open streaming platform for the vengeful Tantrik on Qayamat Ki Raat

Turns out having a severed hand run around on screen terrorising half the village just wasn't enough and so Qayamat Ki Raat needed a more effective way to get its message around. (note: The message seems to be "don't mess with the hand" but, nobody wants to listen) Turns out the tantrik (Nirbhay Wadhwa) can now interact with those who truly seek his guidance. In a recent episode, the Pandit's son brings the hand a bargain that will lead to "it" finding the rest of his body parts. The hand then unleashes its communication device and it looks a little like this-

Check out the connection and visual clarity on this one. It streams live and the bond between the Tantrik and the pandit's son is sealed as they join HANDS together (Yes!) on their evil quest.

This medical wonder on Kaleerein

Kaleerein is truly unconventional with its brave leading lady and her fascinating powers. When Pammi bears a bullet in the chest for her son, Meera's (Aditi Sharma) powers come in handy, and no, we aren't talking about the excellent dialogue delivery (she lectures Vivaan (Arjit Taneja) about being a crappy son that lead to the death of his mother before she was even dead). Instead, Meera goes ahead and saves Pammi's life. Here's how-

Meera uses the oldest trick to save the lady from flat-lining in the ICU. We are talking about an old fashioned CPR (for bullet wounds?). She repeatedly performs CPR on the patient's shoulder (instead of the chest) as she yells about mothers having to recover for their children. And it works! The doctors commend her and she falls back on her impeccable dialogue delivery to preach on-lookers about faith. We need more doctors...No, really!

This instant evidence recorder on Zindagi Ki Mehek

Mehek's (Samiksha Jaiswal) coach has been terribly wounded and is lying in the hospital bed, where out of breath, he reveals his attacker's name. Mehek looks on sulking and enraged while the nurse shoos her away. Here's what happens next-

She shows up at Shaurya's (Karan Vohra) home and lands a slap on his father's face. When questioned by the on-lookers she confidently offers proof of his crimes. The only problem is, she had no opportunity to record it. The makers literally played footage from the earlier scene and tried passing it off as proof Mehek gathers while she did no such thing. Now, isn't that all the evidence you need?

The only eye witness you will ever need on Naagin 3

Naagin 3 had many goof-ups but this one sits well with the list of technical failures. Vish (Anita Hassanandani) and Bela (Surbhi Jyoti) will stop at nothing to revenge their enemies. But, this one time they almost got caught (courtesy: drone camera?). They tried chasing Rehaan to his death and this is how it turned out-

The Sehgal family is given footage of Rehaan running into the forest. It was a CCTV footage, one that followed him from three different angles just to dramatically reveal his plight as he is about to be murdered by naagins. It somehow didn't get the half-transformed Bela and Vish but, it did display a technological wonder to the TV audience.

And then, this happened...
