Will Naagin 6 hit pay dirt on the back of its mytho- patriotic theme?

By Anil Merani: Naagin 6 concept of mixing mythology with patriotism is clever; adding to it rage against China for Galwan and Covid can be the clincher. The visual of Shivji and Bharat Mata might irk some secularists, given the contemporary political atmosphere, though.

The show opens well with the right amount of VFX. Shapeshifting stories offers technicians many scopes to play around with their tools.

   

I hope we get the back story of the all-knowing Professor ( Manit Joura). Maheck Chahal looks a million dollars as the mentor Naagin.

It would be fun to see Tejasswi Prakash ( Pratha) transform from a timid girl next door to her sexy Sarvashreth naagin character. Simba Nagpal fits the emotionless army officer Rishabh to the T. Urvashi Dholakia, Sudha Chandra, etc., and completes the family angle critical in any tv show.

The suspense builds up very quickly, and remnants of not touching each other help keep the fear of the show’s pandemic(central theme) very much alive.

I am waiting to see how Risabh will avoid getting married(; his lack of interest in his fiancee is jarring; agreed, it is an arranged marriage, yet he is way too cold.

Risabh’s flirty younger bro(hiccup scene) and Amrapali Gupta provide much-needed comic relief. His fiancee will also join the evil folk gang.

While I enjoyed the first two episodes over the weekend,
some big holes were spoiling the fun. How come the professor did not die of hypothermia when he entered the snow-covered naagin den in just a sweater?

Secondly, if the professor’s message to the army was top secret, how come his assistant did not know who to approach at the defence camp?

We would love to know why Naagin Pratha seem to be following Pratha and Risbabh ( Does he have a dark side). The former does have her task cut out, needing to spot 20 asurs without any photo. The creative has weaved a narrative where fifth columnists who collude with Chingistan against mother India are evil demons , mixing politics with horror mytho is not unknown even in the west

Colors have spent massive money on Naagin6 ( Tejasswi post-Bigg Boss must be charging bomb even other actors ard also well known). So they would expect it to open big and sustain; there is no space for in-between numbers. The dismal Fanaa – Ishq Mein Marjawan week one rating have only raised the stakes for Naagin producer Ekta Kapoor and her company.

Tejasswi s fandom has made a lot of noise in the build-up hope this translates into TRP and hardcore Voot views.
