I don't understand Tamil well, so I decided to check the updates on the forum rather than watch episodes of Idhayam! The story line is interesting, but of course the Tamil one has all the South Indian, Tamil trappings to it! I guess they will tweak the story (if it is the same!! again speculation!!) to suit a wider audience. I am also puzzled by GK's role.......because Shankar, the doc's son and Nandini's husband looks to be the male lead! And there wasn't much of romance between them.......they got married within the first month of the show starting!! and probs crop up almost immediately.........didn't get it at all! I am confused now......I wonder whether we are all barking up the wrong tree by assuming this! But the other similarities are startling............there is an elder brother and wife, there is a younger sister.......the mother is a doc and there is a bond betn MIL and DIL!! Did they mention anything of Nandini's family in any of the articles? Cannot remember......but she is an orphan who is brought by her sister and BIL and the BIL has a sister too.......... And there is one mystery man and a mystery baby...........mera sar chakra gaya reading all this.......I read the first month's updates only! Wish we could get an idea of the storyline of DSDV! I somehow felt that Idhayam while might be good in the Tamil environs, might just not suit Mumbai if lifted exactly like it is!! |
