Series overview

Plot

Baalveer

The story revolves around Pari Lok (the Fairy Realm), where good fairies reside, each possessing unique abilities. Rani Pari is the queen of the fairies, while Bhayankar Pari, an evil fairy, plots to create terror on Earth. She seeks revenge as she wasn't given the throne by Maa Pari, when she was a good fairy. Rani Pari assigns different fairies to protect specific locations on Earth from Bhayankar Pari's evil plans, but in vain.

Consequently, Rani Pari decides to give powers to Baalveer(the series' hero) to fight with the evil. Years ago, he was born in Rajasthan with Pari-Tara's powers. Bhayankar Pari tried to abduct him, but Rani Pari stops her. In a series of events, Baalveer is saved and carried to Pari Lok by Baalpari. Ranipari identified him and permitted Baalpari to raise him in Parilok. In the present, Rani Pari grants him the power of seven fairies, known as Saptapari, along with her own powers to aid him in his mission. An upright man named Mahesh Dagli adopts Baalveer, when he's sent to Earth. Unaware of his true identity, Baalveer becomes known as Ballu and is embraced by Mahesh's family -the Saat Sachhon ka Parivar (Family of Seven who Never Lies).

The series features multiple confrontations between Baalveer and Bhayankar Pari, who attempts to spread evil in Pari Lok and Earth. Despite various challenges, Baalveer emerges victorious with the help of fairies. Later, Chhal Pari tries to kill Baalveer, but ends up killing Rani Pari. A new Rani Pari emerges to guide Baalveer and fairies.Bhayankar Pari is eventually killed by Baalveer and new evil fairies are introduced throughout the show. Numerous battles take place to uphold peace and righteousness. The story concludes with the triumph of good over evil, restoring peace and harmony in both Pari Lok and Earth, as Baalveer returns to Pari Lok from Earth.

Baalveer Returns

Timnasa, an evil enchantress and the queen of Kaal Lok, begins a quest to rule the whole universe and become the most powerful and evil entity. She attacks and destroys the Pari Lok. They take refuge in Veer Lok, whose leader is a white lion, Shaurya. Baalveer becomes weaker, as he was injured in the attack. On Shaurya's instructions, Baalveer goes to Earth as Dev, with the fairies as his sisters, to find the next Baalveer, as he needs help to fight Timnasa.

The new Baalveer is a very mischievous 10-year-old boy named Vivaan, at the beginning, Baalveer and Vivaan started hating each other. Soon, Baalveer finds that Vivaan is the new Baalveer and discloses his reality to Vivaan and takes him to Veer Lok, where he is made the 'Junior Baalveer'. Both the Baalveers and the members of Veer Lok cross all the hurdles and fight with Timnasa and defeat her every time. At the same time friendship is growing between two Baalveers. They started loving each other and taking care of each other.

Baalveer finds Sarvakaal's prison and Timnasa's past, about how she was banished from Pari Lok by Baal Pari, because of her evil and egoistic intentions. Baalveer acquires a new avatar, Naqabposh. He befriends Ananya, a girl who is threatened by Timnasa, and also receives help from Sarvakaal. They together go to Earth to find the hidden power which is destined to kill Timnasa. While doing so, it is revealed that Vivaan is Ananya's long-lost brother, and their biological mother is Devaki, the former queen of Shwet Lok, which was destroyed by Timnasa and was made Kaal Lok by her. The trio formed 'Team Shadow'. Vivaan is the hidden power who is destined to kill Timnasa, and he overcomes the hurdles and takes Sarvakaal's infinite energy. By this new power, he puts an end to Timnasa's trinity except for Tauba Tauba. During the battle, Masti Pari is killed by Bhaymar, and Vayu Pari and Jwala Pari sacrifice themselves as Timnasa's weapons hit them, to protect the Earth.

Later, when Debu opens the secret message of Timnasa, which she had handed over to him before her death, Timnasa's spirit tells Debu that his biological parents were killed by Shaurya and the fairies.

The series unveils the underwater kingdom of Shinkai, which is ruled by Jalraj Kaikos. The commander-in-chief Bambaal plots to rule over the whole universe, along with his sidekick Milsa. Baalveer captures Milsa, but Bambaal secretly kills her to hide his identity from Debu and Vivaan. Ray's full powers are unleashed by Debu's blood after he threatens Vivaan's life. It is revealed that Baalveer was Jaikaas' son and Ray's brother. Jaikaas was a lunatic scientist of Veer Lok, who was killed by Shaurya while escaping and Baalveer fell on the Earth where a couple adopted him and later Baal Pari carried him to Pari Lok. Baalveer captures Bambaal and kills him. Ray kills Baalveer out of anger. But later God gives Baalveer his life back by seeing the love of Debu and Vivaan for each other and tells them that it was the test of their love. Ray creates problems for the Baalveers and the fairies. After a series of incidents, he revived Bhaymar, Timnasa, and Akroor to revenge Bambaal's and Milsa's deaths.

Timnasa had the plan to destroy the earth by attaining the ultimate power — a Red Diamond. Both Baalveer had to find four keys before Timnasa so that they can use the energy of the Red Diamond for making a Brahma Kawaj 'Ultimate Shield' on earth for protecting it from evil forces. However, Timnasa got the ultimate power — a Red Diamond to destroy the earth. Meanwhile, Baalveer found a White Diamond to stop Timnasa from destroying the earth. Baalveer sacrifices himself by joining the two stones, the red one and the white one, for saving the earth from Timnasa. During the explosion Timnasa also dies, leaving both of their souls destroyed by the explosion.

A new character, Happy, is introduced, who is a lookalike of Baalveer and Kaal, another lookalike of Baalveer with evil intentions who was imprisoned by Swarna Shaurya a very long time ago and kept frozen as a statue in Drak Lok gets freed from prison. Baalveers's energy star divides into 6 pieces and goes into the body of the 6 other lookalikes of Baalveer, which helps Kaal to escape from prison and to obtain all of Baalveer's powers. Kaal decides to kill other lookalikes of himself. Happy tries to understand his powers and he is unfamiliar with how he got his powers. Kaal manages to kill a lookalike and gets his powers.

Later, Happy and his family visit Bharat Nagar colony to conduct a wedding ceremony of Diwali's relative. The residents of Bharat Nagar are shocked to see Happy, lookalike of Debu, and get emotional assuming him as Debu has returned after his death. However, it is revealed to them that Happy is just a lookalike of Debu. Ray and Bhaymar are doubtful of Happy being Baalveer and plan to unmask the real identity of Happy. In Drak Lok, Shauryas manage to safeguard remaining three lookalikes of Baalveer at a secret place.

However, Kaal finds them and manages to kill one other lookalike of Baalveer and gain his powers, while Happy also realizes that he is more powerful than before and practices to control his mind and powers. The Fairies along with Vivaan try to collect energies of seven Shauryas from seven universes to defeat Kaal and try to save the remaining lookalikes.

Baalveer 3

The story revolves around Baalveer, who is preparing for his mother, Adishi's arrival in Udaka Lok after her two months' journey. He goes to Earth to buy a gift for her and saves a girl named Kaashvi from an accident. In Udaka-Lok, Baalveer passes a test set by Uttan, the ruler of Shaashvan-Lok, and is declared worthy. However, Aageel plans to kill Baalveer using her Mahajadoo.

Kaashvi’s mother is revealed to be Tuyeer, a trusted ally of Aageel. When Aageel attacks Kaashvi, her Mahajadoo is absorbed inside her (as she is the offspring of two different species). Aageel captures Kaashvi and takes her to Himbaash to extract her Mahajadoo, but she is eventually saved by her parents who then safely sends her to Earth. In a series of events, Baalveer is charged guilty for Babel and Tuyeer’s death and thereby is stripped off his memories and powers until the investigation to the matter is completed. Until then, he is sent to Earth via Bardol, a secret agent of Shaashvaan Lok, to lead a new life.

Bardol entrusts Bhaskar Bhardwaj, a magician, to take care of Baalveer until the matter is sorted. Thus, Baalveer begins to live a new life as "Veer Bhardwaj", befriends Kaashvi, after certain bickerings, and furthermore vows to bring an end to the financial problems of his new family.

Veer's memories and powers temporarily return unknowingly via Kaashvi’s help, and under the guidance of "Benaam", Veer regains his superhero identity and soughts to find clues to prove his innocence to Uttan, but in vain. Meanwhile, Shashmaag releases the soul of a devilish witch named "Kurja" and transmits her into Adishi’s body with the objective of escaping from Uttan’s suspicion and to kill Baalveer. Meanwhile, Aageel’s futile attempts of killing Baalveer by manipulating Kaashvi triggers the negative traits of the latter frequently. Simultaneously, Veer and Kaashvi’s bond continues to develop.

Adishi (controlled by Kurja) meets Baalveer and commands him to surrender, to which he refuses. In a set of dramatic twists, she is apparently killed and the blame of the same is put on Baalveer by Shashmaag to instigate Uttan. Although Benaam catches hold of Kurja’s soul, Shashmaag kills the latter in the nick of time.

An angered Uttan soughts to destroy "B", the power source of Baalveer to put an end to his life. However, Baalveer manages to overpower him and preserves "B" safely with himself. In a set of thrilling twists and turns, Baalveer ultimately finds out about Shashmaag’s duality and finally proves his innocence to Mahamahim, who then remorsefully captures and kills Shashmaag with the help of his twin brother, Nehmaag. However, Shashmaag exchanged places with Nehmaag in the nick of time and took his guise, without gaining anyone’s suspicion.

Meanwhile, Aageel poses as "Agni", a righteous protector who then instigates Kaashvi against Baalveer and provokes her into believing that the latter is responsible for her parents’ death. Thus, Kaashvi vows revenge by killing off Baalveer with the help of her newly found powers. She is devastated and hurt to know that Veer is Baalveer, and consequently attacks him in a rough battle at the solar eclipse (when her powers are at par). However, both of them effectively solve the misunderstandings and a regretful Kaashvi eventually reconciles with Veer, only to realise that the Mahajadoo inside her is steadily weakening her survival like a poison.

With the help of Benaam and Kaashvi, Baalveer subsequently manages to extract Mahajadoo from the former’s body, thus making her safe. While Shashmaag joins hands with Aageel to seek revenge, Baalveer eventually finds out that Benaam is his real biological mother, and on being tricked by Aageel, he soughts to free his father, Bhasma, from Krinkaal Lok. He successfully frees his father after overcoming various problems. But, Bhasma, starts destroying the world which angers Uttan. Baalveer promises to return, after realising his mistakes, with greater powers, to save the world.
