Naagin 3 Review: Ekta Kapoor’s Supernatural Series Promises Entertainment, a Lot of Romance and a Gripping Revenge Drama
Check out our review of Ekta Kapoor's Naagin 3 right here.
Honestly, I have been waiting for Naagin 3 ever since it was announced! I have been following this show since the first season and it's kind of one of my favourites. The third installment of the supernatural series has an all new cast and three hot ladies playing the lead in the show. Yes, I missed Mouni Roy a lot but Ekta Kapoor made up for that in the first couple of minutes. Though we didn't see Anita Hassanandani or Surbhi Jyoti in the first episode, Karishma Tanna and Rajat Tokas make up for that. Chetan Hansraj plays this powerful, arrogant business man who goes all, "Jahaan mujh jaisa shaitaan aata hai wahan bhagwan bhi nahi aata," when some priests ask him to not tear down a temple to make a hotel.
For some reason, Chetan's voice sounds really weird. I'm still not sure why he was going for a deep voice that doesn't even make him sound as powerful as he can be. In my honest opinion, the first 30 minutes of the show was utterly boring. It's just Kareena Kapoor Khan, Sonam Kapoor, Swara Bhasker and Shikha Talsania promoting Veere Di Wedding along with Chetan's son who is a spoilt brat in the show.
The episode gets interesting only when Rajat and Karishma make an entry. The CGI is much better this season and costumes are unbelievably sexy. Though Karishma was the only one of the main women we saw in the show yet. Costumes are one of the main USPs of this season of Naagin 3. Well, they have always been one but this time, it's even better. The episode starts with Rocky killing Shivangi on Ritik's orders and Shivangi dies without even knowing why her father and her husband killed her.
It then progresses to Karishma and Rajat taking human forms after 100 years to get married. The two are busy spending some romantic time with each other until they meet Chetan's brat of a son and his friends. Whatever you saw in the Naagin 3 promo happens right after this. The whole bit where Rajat and karishma are serenading each other could have been shot more aesthetically. The show is going to get more entertaining from tomorrow. The revenge drama starts tomorrow and we are super excited for it.
Yay!
- Costumes are bang on!
- The CGI is much better
- Rajat Tokas and Karishma Tanna stand out, making up for all the average performances by the other actors
- Okay a lot of you may not agree with me on this one but the dialogues are also quite entertaining
Nay!
- The first 30 minutes of the show is plain boring and just a promotional edit for Veere Di Wedding
- Chetan Hansraj's attempt at being an 'I don't give a shit' businessman is not at all convincing
- The makers should have given Karishma and Rajat more screen time together than they have
Final thoughts!
The third season surely seems much better than the first two and we can't wait for the revenge drama to begin. Though I wish we could see more of Karishma and Rajat's romance onscreen. Have you seen the episode? Tell us what you think of it in the comments below and stay tuned with us for more.
