Honestly, I hadn’t expected much from Yeh Kaali Kaali Ankhein, but this turned out to be surprisingly good! A little gory and violent and unexpectedly intense, but in a good way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fresh graduate Vikrant Singh Chauhan (Bhasin) has plans for the future. These involve girlfriend Shikha (Shweta Tripathi) and moving out from the small town of Onkara where his parents live. Vikrant\u2019s father  (Brijendra Kala) works for Akhiraj Awasthi (Saurabh Shukla) the local powerful politician of Onkara, and tries to persuade Vikrant to also come work there, especially when Akhiraj offers Vikrant a well-paying job. Akhiraj\u2019s daughter Purva (Singh) has a crush on Vikrant and is determined to marry him. Vikrant is adamant on escaping the violent fiefdom though, but when subtle pressure is applied by Akhiraj and his goons (to ensure Purwa\u2019s happiness), Vikrant decides to play it smart, and bide his time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Season 1 of Yeh Kaali Kaali Aankhein has bright-eyed and bushy-tailed Vikrant slowly come to terms with Akhiraj Singh\u2019s violent ways and the real threat he poses to Vikrant\u2019s family and girlfriend. His rosy dreams crushed, Vikrant needs to find a way out of this thorny predicament. His parents are shown as undoubting supporters of Akhiraj, attributing all their happiness to him, and consider Vikrant a fool for daring to refuse Akhiraj\u2019s generous offer, especially when that offer includes becoming Purva’s husband and future heir to all of Akhiraj\u2019s wealth and power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The series reminds me of the Urmila Matondkar starrer Pyaar Tune Kya Kiya<\/strong><\/a>. Purva here mirrors Urmila\u2019s character in that movie – the canny, obsessive female wanting her man at any cost. The series does a great job keeping us engrossed. It moves fast, and unpredictably, and we go from what we think is a tepid small-town tale to an intense drama where conversations are sprinkled with casual references of severed limbs and murder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tahir Raj Bhasin, while not the most charismatic of actors does well here. Aanchal Singh as the off-kilter Purva Awasthi is marvelous, changing colors chameleon-like, mellow and soft-spoken one moment, and clever and calculating the next. Shweta Tripathi is in yet another small-town, well-educated girl role (remember Mirzapur<\/strong><\/a> and Laakhon Mein Ek<\/strong><\/a>?) But she delivers the goods. The fantastic Sarah Shukla, Brijendra Kala and Surya Sharma (as the menacing Dharmesh) round off the great cast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While a great watch, Yeh Kaali Kaali Aankhein could have used a little more thought into the development of relationships as in – Vikrant and Shikha\u2019s bond. Also it wan\u2019t quite clear to me why Vikrant\u2019s parents regarded Akhiraj with such unadulterated adoration and couldn\u2019t see his menace. The hero himself could have used some logical thinking and strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regardless, this is a well-made entertainer. Do watch!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
