The fantasy fiction show is produced by Balaji Telefilms and is telecast as bi weekly torture, every Sat-Sun at 9 pm on Colours. Like its many of its predecessors in this genre have enlightened us, there exists such a creature as the Ichadhaari Naagin. One moment a snake, another a woman, or a man, this shape shifting terminator is the Uma Thurman of the reptilian world. Predictably we only encounter them when they are out to get revenge for the snakicide of a family member. Fasssscintaing.
Plot: The show introduces us to the Raheja family and their coterie of close friends and family members. Heir apparent Ritik Raheja and the pile on parivaar travel to their family mansion in spookytown Panchner for his engagement to Tanvi. However unknown to him, his family has buried many dark secrets there, more murderous than they can handle. Cut to twenty years ago, when Ritik’s dubious Daddy Ankush and his buddies killed the Naag couple guarding the Shiv temple. Yes they marry like humans, and make ichadhaari babies as well. Wonder if the baby is born a snake or human. Never mind. Unfortunately for them, Mommy Naagin takes a quick picture of her killers with her photographic eyes and the couple’s baby Naagin Shivanya sees this image of her parent’s killers. 20 years of penance and a size too small blouse later, Shivanya has returned to get even. Joining her are a shrieking snake charmer mentor and a member of the Naagin sisterhood in Sridevi’s clothes. The current track of the show sees her replacing Tanvi to marry Ritik but worrying that the moonlight might turn her skin to its snake form. Will she succeed in taking revenge or will human emotions and a potential love story get in her way?
