Anupallavi Jan 3 - 7 updates and discussions.

RR scolds Palli in public saying she is inconsistent with what she said about Srinivasans being the best. Palli says she is not like her mother (Gayathri). She says she likes Gayathri, but she wont accept Shree as her dil. Shreenath asks for an explanation..flashback on Palli's first encounter at the temple with Shree when shree told her off for getting the first priority at the temple (actually it makes Palli look stupid for relating this story to Srinivasan;s family as the reason for rejecting the girl- Palli looks like the pompous idiot who needs the first priority at temples!)

Shreenidhi is crying and apologises for that temple incident. Palli then relates what happened the 2nd time Shree met Palli at the temple, when she asked the priest to give her the aarthi first- Palli claims it was so offensive of Shree to ask the priest to give Palli the aarthi first (why I dont understand,maybe one of you do) even though Shree maintains she did that because of respect for Palli, but of course Palli doesnt buy that. Palli claims Shree made her lose her peace of mind since that day (please I dont see why this incident is SO offensive but anyway). Palli says she is shocked at Shree's thimiru pechu because she loves Karthik and knew Palli cant do anything about it.

RR and Karthik try to stop her from concluding about Shree, and RR asks Palli to let Karthi live with his love interest rather than interfere in their life. Palli claims Shree is not a good woman, as she saw Shree with another man at the temple, tying a thread around his hand, and giggling with him (in this day and age how do people come to these conclusions after seeing a man and woman together- kadavuLaem They must be living in the 1800s.)

Shreenath explodes like a volcano (finally he starts acting) He asks them to get out, saying that he wont agree for his sister to get married into RR's low class family anymore...(thank god he said it, enough is enough). Useless Karthi and Palli's parents follow her out. RR apologises and leaves, saying she will accept Shree one day.

Nivedha on her motorbike, has a head one collision with a car (Prem is the driver). Prem offers to take her to the doctor to treat her wounds (another new love story starting??)

RR and Palli's parents srguing with Palli on her BAD behavior. Palli justifies saying all of them played her out, knowing it was the girl she hated. All their efforts to convince her is of no use, and she insists Karthi is out of his mind to love her. Palli says she cant forgive her for standing with Prem at the temple. Karthi justfies it saying it is Prem, but Palli wont hear of it, saying Shree is a loose woman (How can she be so loose with her words!)

A courier arrives then with a package for Palli. She opens it, and it is a picture of Prem and Shree standing together (taken at the office opening ceremony). She shows the photo to all, saying he is the guy she saw at the temple. Karthi says he is the guy who is trying to break up Karthi and Shree. Karthi is sure it is from Prem but Palli closes the chapter.

Prem brings Nivedha home, and she invites Prem home. Anu overacts as usual, and is pacified by Prem that everything is ok. Anu offers Prem some coffee. Prem says he was enroute to Shree's house, and they find both were going to the same house for the girl seeing ceremony, when the accident happened, therefore both prem and Nivedha missed the function. Nivedha hopes the ceremony went well and accepted Shree. Prem offers to call Shreenath to enquire how the ceremony went. Shreenath updates Prem on what happened. Prem updates Nivedha and Anu that Karthi's mother didnt like Shree, so it is called off. Nivedha and Anu are looking sad....

Update for Friday, Jan 7, 2010:

Prem is conferencing with Shreenath - what happened? how is Shreenidhi? Shreenath updates him, says the woman was so mean and even when Shreenidhi tried to explain to her, she wouldn't listen to her at all, he would never allow his sister to marry her son even if she should change her mind in future. He says that he feels sorry for anyone who goes into that house as a DIL (first person to have some brains in this serial and see through Palli, congrats, Shreenath!), Prem says that maybe whoever comes as a DIL will straighten out this Palli, wants to go and console Shreenidhi, Shreenath tells him that she has gone to sleep - thank God, or else we would have another consoling scene, and Shreenidhi will start again on what a perfect gentleman this Prem is!

Shreenidhi is ready to go to work, mom tries to tell her not to go, but she insists, dad supports her and tells mom to let her go, so mom gives in. Mom is worried that people may ask her about the girl seeing business, Shree thinks that her mother doesn't know that she has told the people in her office that she is already married to Karthi, and regrets that she has not been a good daughter to her mother. After she leaves, Balu and Meenakshi come there, Meenakshi continues to konjufy the photo of Selvi, while Balu gives them the prasadam for the temple, where they had gone to pray for Shreenidhi. Srinivasan updates them on the girl seeing disaster, and Balu assures them that they will definitely get a better varan for Shreenidhi (yes, let her at least get a guy with a decent job and a decent MIL).

Anu and Nivedha - Anu is ranting (Palli kaatru pattu irukku pole thoNudhu!) at Nivedha for speeding and RR comes in. Anu updates him on the accident (I am using this word "update" all the time, soon I will be saying it in my dreams also!), then Nivedha tells him about the girl seeing business turning into a disaster. Now it is Nivedha's turn to rant - how can a boy's parents do this to a girl, don't they ever think of the girl and how she must feel, Anu tries to tell her to stop. RR says she is justified in getting angry and asks her if she thinks he would do such a thing, and Nivedha says she wouldn't be surprised if he also acted like that. Anu wants to give her four rooms (naalu arai - I know, I know, it is the other aRai!), but she has already left. RR thinks whether it is because he disobeyed his mother and married Palli, or because he hasn't told the truth to Palli and Anu (the answer is Both! You and you alone are the cause of all these problems!)

Karthik is calling Shree at work, she doesn't answer, he calls again and again, she doesn't answer, and all this is observed by the woman who doesn't like her in that office. She tells Shree that the MD wants to see her, and when Shree leaves, the phone rings again. This woman picks up the phone, and Karthik apologizes, then assures her that they will definitely get married, and she remains silent, then disconnects.

In the meantime, Palli has come into the room, demands the cell phone from Karthi, sees the number he has called, and flings the phone to the ground. Spineless Karthi stands there, while Palli's parents come rushing in. Palli gnashes her teeth and leaves. Karthi also leaves, miserable. Palli's mother asks dad - what paavam did we do to anyone? Have you forgotten already? You got RR married to Palli even before checking to see whether or not Anu was dead. I am still appalled at the way she treats a grown son, on the other hand, the son doesn't even have a job, so what does it matter?

RR leaving for work, Anu asks him to stay, flashes of Palli in the car, going somewhere, RR insists on going to work, Anu sees him off. As his car nears the gate, guess whose car arrives at the gate? No prizes, but ... it is Palli's car!

Thodarum ...
