Review:
Yeh
Kaali
Kaali
Ankhein
starring
Tahir
Raj
Bhasin
and
Shweta
Tripathi
is
a
genre-bending
show
that
manages
to
follow
through
its
screenplay
throughout
the
length
of
the
show.
Sidharth
Sengupta
was
largely
successful
at
balancing
some
of
the
dark
humour
with
action-thriller
elements.
The
show
follows
Vikrant,
a
small-town
boy
with
modest
dreams,
of
a
simple
job
and
a
simple
house.
However,
fate
has
different
plans
for
him
when
the
daughter
of
a
politician
falls
in
love
with
him.
Vikrant
wants
nothing
more
than
to
live
the
life
everyone
dreads.
After
getting
an
entry-level
job
at
a
steel
plant,
he
plans
on
marrying
his
sweetheart
Shikha,
and
perhaps
getting
an
MBA
degree
some
years
later.
Most
of
all
he
wants
to
leave
the
town
and
be
away
from
the
shady
politician
Akheraj,
his
father
has
spent
his
entire
life
working
for.
On
the
other
hand,
Purva,
Akheraj
daughter
has
loved
Vikrant
since
grade
four.
When
she
returns
as
a
young
Zumba
teacher,
she
goes
to
relentless
means
to
get
him
and
Vikrant
is
sucked
into
the
seedy
world
of
UP
politics.
After
Purva
begins
interfering
in
Vikrant's
life
he
has
no
other
choice
but
to
play
the
part
in
the
game
she
is
playing.
However,
when
Purva
stars
posing
a
threat
to
Shikha
he
decides
its
time
to
become
a
player
in
the
game.
For
the
rest
of
the
show,
the
two
play
catch
up
as
Vikrant
is
desperately
trying
to
keep
Shikha
safe
and
rid
himself
of
Purva's
love.
Without
revealing
much
of
the
plot
riddled
with
several
good
twists,
Yeh
Kaali
Kaali
Ankhein
surely
will
keep
you
hooked
till
the
last
minute.
Tahir
Raj
Bhasin
gives
a
surprising
take
on
Vikrant
a
sweet
boy,
who
loses
himself
in
the
game
of
power
and
deceit.
Tahir
keeps
up
with
Vikrant's
erratic
behaviour
and
also
makes
him
likeable
despite
some
very
questionable
choices.
Shweta
Tripathi
has
proven
her
skills
in
several
shows
earlier
and
she
seems
to
fit
right
in
with
the
show's
different
genres.
Meanwhile,
Anchal
Singh
turns
her
character
Purva,
the
villainess
into
desirable.
She
plays
every
powerful,
rich
guy
that
would
fall
in
love
with
the
'90s
heroine
but
better.
Varun
Badola's
dialogues
help
keep
the
characters
in
check
which
are
often
witty
and
funny,
meanwhile,
director
Sidharth
Sengupta
holds
the
reigns
on
the
characters
that
often
seem
to
derail
from
the
plot.
While
each
role
has
a
greater
part
in
the
screenplay,
the
story
relies
more
on
plot
twists
than
the
character's
aspirations.
Overall,
Yeh
Kaali
Kaali
Ankhein
brings
out
the
best
of
trashy
pulp
fiction
and
90s
cringy
cinema
with
more
believable
characters.
The
season
ends
on
a
satisfying
cliffhanger
that
will
have
you
confused
whether
to
laugh
at
the
character's
choices
or
rejoice
his
fate.
