Review - Yeh Kaali Kaali Ankhein


'Yeh kaali kaali ankhen' is a twisted love story.

Vikrant, a simpleton, who has completed engineering and wants to pursue a job, marry the love of his life, Shikha and own a small house, is in for a rude shock when he becomes the object of obsession for Purva, the daughter of a politician cum hooligan, Akheeraj. To make matters worse, Vikrant's father works as an accountant for Akheeraj, and he gets a job offer from Akheeraj offering him more than thrice the money he plans to earn from his dream job in Bhilai.

On one hand, Vikrant tries to convince his parents that this is not the life he has dreamed of for himself. On the other, Shikha's parents want to get her married off soon and she wants him to hasten things 

And suddenly Akheeraj decides to make Vikrant his son-in-law. Because Purva is smitten by him. And Purva can't take no for an answer, and soon Vikrant is trapped from all sides. 

What happens next?

The series is shot very realistically in the backdrop of a small village in North India. The hooliganism, the gang wars, the cover up operations, the police apathy, everything is aptly picturised.

Every episode keeps us wondering as to what would happen next. But the twists keep on coming.

All actors do perfect justice to their respective roles, and just as the protagonists evoke empathy, the villians evoke anger from the viewers.

What can one person do for love? How low can anyone stoop to protect their own interests? And can circumstances change a person and make him or her do things they wouldn't have thought possible in their wildest imagination? That is what sort of happens in this story.

All actors have given stellar performances and I love Shweta Tripathi for being the most natural yet powerful actor ever.

The title song is alluring and dialogues catching.The background score keeps the tension going, and by the end, the viewer is numb. Numb because he has been transported to an entirely different world while watching the series, and being torn back to reality suddenly can be confusing.

Overall, an intriguing watch! I rate it 4 stars.
