My thoughts about first epi! - Page 2

It's a Balaji show yaar, so I really don't expect them to depict the actual ground reality in a sensitive and accurate manner. Already there's an abundance of weird conspiracy theories when it comes to the pandemic so this being a supernatural/fiction show that too Ekta's - there's just no need for them to step into any political commentary or discourse. Already the deshbhakti scenes, nationalist narrative, OTT songs and desh ki mitti stuff is too comical to digest so why delve into another can of worms when we're sooo sure that Ekta's gonna screw stuff up even more. 😆

I have watched the second episode and honestly out of everyone, I thought only Teja was justifying her role. Mehak is fine but she lacks the fierce voice a naagin has, she literally yelled "MAIN NAAGIN HOON", seriously made me laugh. Also idk if its just me but the makeup artist needs to tone down the palmade on the eyebrows for Mehak, they make her face seem a lil too harsh. She definetely has a lot to improve when I compare her to ada or Anita. Simba also needs to work on his expressions and dialouges. The fiances were irritating tho. I can't say anything about Sudha/Urvashi as they barely had any screen time. But their characters look interesting. Teja was fab in acting as innocent, naive and helpless. Again the team needs to improve their execution, this epi was better than then first one from a technical point of you but can be much more better. Also laser vision from naagin, finding culprits through a painting sounds a lil comical. I wish they bring in like intel from spies. Like mehak being a spy going to the area the poison spread and finding out about the culprits could have made much more sense. But saying all this, I can't wait for Teja to unveil as the naagin, I hope they justify this sequence and episodes flow a lil better. I am also waiting to see how the love story develops between Pratha and Rishab

True, the "Main Naagin Hoon" sounded a bit too hoarse and screechy to me personally. Like it just hurt my ears instead of making me feel terrified or something. Tbh Mehak is really good at such badass roles, also her persona and aura has just the right amount of oomph factor if she's actually there to substitute Shesha and Visha like grey shade roles. But I don't want to compare her with Anita or Adaa for now simply for the reason that they both have been associated with the Naagin series for so many years and they know their characters like the back of their hands. But of course there's a room for improvement for all of them and I think with time they'll make things work. Fingers crossed.

Loved Teja in the second epi again, the innocence and her eyes my god ❤️. Tho I felt they went a bit overboard with the bechari heroine narrative but probably it's just for the beginning of the season until she transforms into the Sheshnaagin. And yes, the side characters of fiances were annoying. I wish Urvashi had more to do but they had so many things to cover in the episode so that's okay too.

Also agreed that the pacing and editing was a little bit better in the second epi compared to the mess that was the first epi. But the laser vision 😆 Idk but the Mahek-Professor scenes are just too much for me. Jab storyline samajh nahi aarahi hoti hai then the Professor starts his exposition and narrating plot things to make the audience understand ki chal kya raha hai. I just can't take their scenes seriously man. 😆

Agreed! I was so mad at the Riya girl when she made Pratha cry cause she caught her talking to her guy! Like I was like Imma slap you girl🤣! I never felt this protective for a character. Teja is legit making me feel for a character 🤣🤣! Also yes I can't take the professor seriously at all! Like show some context of where he is getting all these theories from. Instead of making it seem like he is getting it all from the Amrit Manthan picture from a religious scripture book. He randomly yelled that a killer has a prosthetic leg b/c the snake went over the painting? And he was sure he was at the Gujral's wedding because she pointed to badrapur with her laser vision🤣🤣. Like whaaa! I hope this all fixes when Teja gets introduces as sheshnaagin! But whatever happens Imma stay till the end of the season for Teja!

Even my only reason to stick to a Balaji show is Teja only. I've never been much into Ekta ki weird ott storylines. You know on BB finale night when they disclosed that Teja's going to be the Naagin this season even my Mom was like "Chalo koi nahi, Teju ke liye ye bhi seh lenge." 😆

P.S. Arrey someone please take mods permission and open Teja's AT here yaar! She has such pretty pictures & edits from the epis & sets but nowhere to post those. Please please pretty please.. 😳

Apart from the Professor's part the first epi was not that bad. The way professor was keen on putting his point out. It felt like he was forcing things on Sheshnaagin Mahek tumhe ye karna hoga aur tum karogi😆

To which Mahek was giving bland expressions😵But other scenes her acting was good. Tiger about to attack huge snake and snake kicking it with tail was funny. Desh ki mitti scenes was very comical. How come snake became patriotic.🤣😆Desh ki mitti use wapas layegi. Naagin NRI hai kya🤣🤣🤣

Tejaswi scenes was okay.Teja as an innocent girl was good. Simba as an army officer was good as well His acting isn't that bad. I haven't watched them before but they have done pretty decent job.

Rishab's more than large family is nerve wrecking to watch. I think 20 asur usi ke family me se honge.

Mahek neeli Sheshnaagin is sultry hot naagin was good but need to work more on her expressions.They way she was shouting Naagin hoon main should have toned down I bit I felt. i miss my neela naag Rudra a lot. He was excellent. 👏

Sudha Chandran, Urvashi Dholakia playing negative role is their forte. Superb casting this time

So far the story is good let's see what happens next

NRI Naagin 🤣 aur haan even I think saare 20 asur hero ke family members ya family friends hi niklenge pakka as always 😆

And seriously this professor & shesh naagin's equation is just weird to me. Bechari neeli naagin seems so confused at times & the professor is constantly instructing the supposedly all-powerful all-knowing Sarvashreshtha Shesh Naagin like her boss saying "tumhe desh ka badla lena hoga" and she was like "kya karna hoga, main badla kaise lungi?" and this guy's like "tum badarpur jaogi, asuron ko dhundhogi. Tumhe aana hoga, tum aaogi." 🤣 Such a weird boss-employee relationship this is.
