Plot
Adishi is on her way to Udaka-Lok, after her journey of two months. Baalveer, her son, makes preparations for her welcome. He goes to Earth to buy a gift for her and saves Kaashvi from an accident, who had bought a similar gift for her mother's birthday. Their gift packs get exchanged with each other. Baalveer goes to Udaka-Lok and saves Adishi from Aageel's illusion, which is revealed to be a test for him by Uttan. Uttan, the ruler of Shaashvan-Lok, arrives and declares that Baalveer has passed the test. He arranges for Baalveer's investiture ceremonies.
Aageel plans to kill Baalveer by using Mahajadoo. Baalveer calls Uttan, Adishi and Shashmaag to Shaashvan-Lok's armoury (shastragaar) and destroys a weapon of Aageel, proving his potential. It's revealed to be the same weapon, using which Aageel had killed the second Baalveer. Shashmaag, Uttan's assistant, constantly continues to criticize Baalveer, but in vain.
Kaashvi, along with her father (Babel), awaits her mother for her mother's birthday celebrations. Her mother is revealed to be none other than Tuyeer, the most trusted ally of Aageel. On knowing this secret, Aageel furiously attacks Kaashvi with the entire energy of her Mahajadoo with the intention of mercilessly torturing Tuyeer, but on the contrary, the Mahajadoo is absorbed inside Kaashvi (as she is an offspring of two different species). Alarmed by this, Aageel throws Tuyeer and Babel into a malfunctioning cable car and captures Kaashvi and takes her to Himbaash to extract her Mahajadoo from it. Tuyeer and Babel are saved by Baalveer.
Baalveer attends his Kasam-Kaal in Udaka-Lok. Simultaneously, Aageel tries to retrieve Mahajadoo from Kaashvi's body, but Tuyeer and Babel manage to save her and flee in a spacecraft. Tuyeer sacrifices all her powers to make a shield around Kaashvi (who is still unconscious), to protect her, and sends her to Earth. Aageel sends her forces to catch Tuyeer and get Kaashvi back.
Babel and Tuyeer enter Udaka-Lok to seek Baalveer's help. Alarmed by their presence, Baalveer mistakes them to be intruders and hits them with magical powers to make them unconscious. Uttan, Adishi and Shashmaag arrive there and on their deathbed, Tuyeer and Baabil reveal that they had come to seek help. After conveying this, both of them apparently die. Baalveer is puzzled as he had only tried to make them unconscious. In order to find the reality of this mystery, Uttan decides to hold a court hearing, but Baalveer is declared innocent at that time because Baalveer was standing constantly for himself and he was too powerful to handle by anyone even Uttan. So, Mahamahim and Shashmaag conspire to trap Baalveer and rob him of his powers and memory till the time the investigation into the matter is completed. Thus, Baalveer gets captured. Kaashvi remains clueless and worried about her parents’ whereabouts as she has no memory of what had happened to her all that while.
Baalveer is then sent to Earth by Uttan through Bardol, a secret agent appointed by the former to keep him updated about the whereabouts of Earth's activities, and asks him to keep Baalveer’s new whereabouts secretive even to them until the investigation is legally over. Bardol entrusts Bhaskar Bhardwaj, a magician who has already determined his real identity, to take care of Baalveer as a part of his family and makes suitable provisions for the same. Baalveer thereby continues to live his new life by the name of ‘Veer Bhardwaj’, devoid of the powers and memories he initially possessed while Aageel tries to retrieve her Mahajadoo by making Kaashvi more powerful and violent. There are multiple instances wherein Veer almost regains his identity and vows revenge and destruction against his close ones who betrayed him, but Bardol and Bhaskar continue to keep him under control by a device given by Uttan for that purpose. While Veer spends some quality time with his newly found family, the mahajadoo inside Kaashvi gets activated by a series of events owing to which she becomes destructive without her knowing. Within a series of events, it is revealed that Bhaskar's big brother and Eva's biological father, Dr Divakar and Mother Mamta passed away because of a car accident. Veer promises Dadaji that he will help them.
