Bon, I have to agree with you on this Shankar guy's new appt as AC. Yes, now that he is on par with our darling ACD he is sure to create endless problems and put ACD in a hot soup. Shankar is not thru with our ACD yet and this is a golden opportunity for him to get even with him. How the hell did he get this promotion???😡

I was keeping my comments to myself on the portayal of the police - their language, etc., and the Shankar promotion in particular, but here it goes. First, a bit of background. After my dad's stint in IAF (straight out of high school at all of 14 yrs age!), one of my bro's went thru NDA and IMA after (CBSE) high school. He is a full Colonel in EME, still serving in the Indian Army. So, I know a bit about interactions between Army officers, if not the Indian Police, and cannot believe it would be very different. Note that I am not referring to their interaction with the public, but among themselves, especially among senior officers.

When I hear JC addressing ACD or Inspector(?) Shankar as "Mr Shankar" or "Mr Durai", I am a bit taken aback. The protocol amongst Indian Armed Forces officers is to always address the other officer by rank, even if a junior, when at work,e.g., "Colonel sir", "Major sir", or "AC sir", "Inspector sir", etc. If the conversation is outside work premises, as in a private setting, then they may address themselves as JC does on Anandam, "ACD sir", "Shankar sir", etc.

The other point I had was the scene where Inspector Shankar is stopped by the constable who is SKPD's man. No junior can expect to have the temerity to talk to a senior officer (Inspector here) the way it was shown, including directly referring to Inspector's feelings of hurt! Even if this conversation had taken place outside of work, that too would require the two to have prior friendship of some kind, which is not applicable here. Imagine your junior counselling you at work - isn't that ridiculous? (Even if you are truly hurt, your self respect will not allow that!)

Finally, JC's words to Inspector Shankar on his promotion was nonsense. He said something like "Keep up the good work". This after being suspended for hastily shooting Priyan, and then reprimanded for chasing Priyan's friend on a motorbike without calling for assistance! "Good work" indeed. lol

A case of bad research on the show's crew, in my opinion.

Hi Guys,

In today's episode, we all know that priya is trapped, I feel that cheyyar is drawing a route for priya to realise the importance of ACD and his help so that she herself will reconcile with ACD OR Charulatha might be back from Malaysia as a surprise to rescue priya.

thanks for the update shylock. oh great.. priya is now going to be behind bars for whatever the fraud sivaraman did.😡😡 poor dear! i hope she gets out soon & that they don't torture her in jail. i've seen enough jail torture scenes in banoo mein teri dulhann. i don't want to see priya going through the same thing as vidya.😭😭

Hi Guys,

In today's lakshmi Serial SS appeared in the last slot, wearing red and white check shirt with blue jeans. Looking very slim suddenly obviously as usual handsome.....but I cannot understand ...that even in Anandham some days he looks very slim, other days his pounch comes out. Is it the camera trick or something else.

Its depend on the camera man and camera trick, but also depened on what kind of cloths and colour we wear. Even in movies, we do see that.
