KALKI, MANAVI, ETHIR NEECHAL

[ahi]

since it's holiday time here I'm watching alot more serials than I should be, the serial AVARGAL finished last week and now a new serial has taken over called NIMMADHI that usually airs during my lunch break so i can always catch a bit of that.

I was following ANANDAM and KOLANGAL but now by the time i get back from work I miss most of it so usually only catch the friday's episode of the show and I get the rest of the updates online.

I can't stand KANAVARUKAAGA, something really odd about the serial, it's got an okay cast and an interesting story, but the poor production value and that horrid music drives me mad.

my grandmother loves "Sorgam", I've only watched a few episodes here and there.

in the last episode that i saw that inspector Kalimuthhu had been arrested and Maria Jones' name had been cleared, Maria Jones and her father go to one of the legal staff thank him as he was instrumental in clearing her name, there the perosn reveals that someone else had given evidence and it was his testimony that helped Maria, when Maria finds out who it is she is furious and leaves in huff (it's some guy she doesn't like !), at home her father tells her that they should go and thank him in person, she tells hi that she will not do anything like that.

Indhu (not sure what her character's name is), is working at the hospital and she soon becomes a favourite staff member ofthe hospital head, he makes her a medical supervisor much to the detest of the other staff memebers, they get together and conspire to throw Indhu out of the hospital forever. Indhu sees her daughter come home on bike with another guy, she is angry upon seeing this and hits her, later her daughter begins to ask questions about their nomadic lifestyle.

Manaivi update:

Ratnam calls Krishna (?) that guy over and asks him questions regarding Krishnaveni, he asks her if he has noticed anything odd about her and asks a series of questions he asks him what name did Krishnaveni uses when she signed a document incorrectly, Krishna tells him tht he used the name Amsaveni. Krishna asks Krishnaveni if everything is alright at home between her and her father as he is asking way too many quastons regarding her.

Rohini is praying at the alter, the inspector is reading the paper, his cook tells him that Rohini is going to tonsure her head if she is reunited with Arivu, Inspector sees an article in the paper about a dead body of male that has been discovered, he goes to the place where they ar keeping Arivu, Arivu tells them that he is not Arivu and is in fact ILango, he is taken away, the other officer thinks that they might have possibly got the wrong guy, the inspector thwarst that statement, he asks for the clothes that Arivu was wearing when they arrested him.

Rohini is cooking in the kitchen an the inspector asks her ll this question weather a young window would remamrry, Rohini tells him that if you loved someone deeply then that person would not want to remarry, the inspector was not expexcting this as his answer, he asks her what date did arivu go missing, Rohini tells him that it was October 13, the inspector tells her that they had found a body dating back to a week from that date and tht they had taken photo and burnt the body and gives herthe photo to indentify it, he assres that it is not likely to be Arivu, Rohini recognises the clothes, she collapses upon discovering it into the inspector's arm, he has her exactly where he wants her.

at the MLA's house the mood is rather sombre, emotions are high,Anajali tells her father that there is no use begging Arivu or trying to kill him it will achieve nothing, she'd rather prove to him that life will go on for her and her family, she tells her father that she ill agree to whoever they arrange a marrige for and that she will live happily and show him and also wants her father to stand in the next elections and defeat him. The marrige proposals come in and there is an intrested party, the date is fixed and the arrnagements are going when news arrive that the groom party are not interested as they had heard som unflaterring things about Anjali, the MLA collapses on the floor upon hearing this.

Amasaveni goes to make a phone call and it is answered by the guy who has his suspicians on Amaveni not being Krishnaveni, Rathnam is listening to the entire conversation, the uy accuses her of not being Krishnaveni and that she is Amsaveni, she denies it and the guy keeps accusin her, Rathnam is on the other line behind her watching her squirm, finally she cracks and adsmists that she is Amsaveni in a toungue slip, Rathnam lashes at her, and the rest of the family including Velu. Amost the madness Amsaveni runs away and hides , Rathanm comes searching for her in the street.

Krishnaveni back at Sriperumathoor decides it's time that shge and Ramani go to the city, she assures her mother in law that her father Rathnam would make all the neccesary finacial asstiance even before she asks for it.

Hi
I have 3 questions...
is there any discussion in this group about the kalki serial....

also why is MSV even attempting to act....ugh He is so terrible...
is there a dearth of good actors who are aged? why on earth do directors even consider him...agreed he is a great music director but acting is definitely not his cup of tea

Can any one give updates of this serial or could anyone direct me to some site that would give me updates of the serial

I would like to comment on one fact/fiction that is coming out on more serials now then ever before. In the serial Manaivi the other sister wants to marry?? the guy who is already married to her sister. In another serial Kanavarukkaga a girl becomes physically intimate with a guy who is the husband of her best friend and wants to marry him. What bothers me is that the women are being potrayed in this manner. Am I the only one who is viewing the world through pink glasses. I have been living abroad for 20 years and I thought this sort of characters only existed elsewhere. When did this become prevalent in India? My husband is of the view that this was already existing but only coming out now.
Anybody care to comment on this????
