Hmm... maybe for TRP ratings they are throughing MIL/DIL stories in Vijay too. Well, this will only change when mindsets change. People have to stop hankering after Radhika soaps and SunTV soaps.
Frankly, I felt like puking some years back, while at home during study breaks. Parents were watching one of Radhika's serials, where she is made fun of as those around feel she is not knowledgeable in English. All of the sudden, she starts to bash them in English, like those 80s country films.
Get a life! What century are you living in? First of all, we have all, single men and single women, started living around the world and English isn't the 'holy' language for all of us. We are exposed to the idea that even Caucasians around Europe don't care about English, as long as you can communicate your info to the other person.
I think these television and film producers want people to still live in that old mentality, so that they can keep fooling them with their loose content. It's the same as those stars and films saying poor people have innocent hearts. Just to get claps. Move on already. We know what you want:-) Trying to fool the poor person watching TV as their possible entertainment doesn't mean you keep them in age old mentalities.
We need to break out of all this...about time the younger generation walked away from this rubbish. But I see so many younger females falling prey to such serials, and talking about MIL and DIL issues on TV serials. Such an atmosphere is just going to create more narrow mindedness once they marry.
Coming to Madurai, yes, definite end in near future. Sigh. But Seigai Saravanan ad Meenatchi will always live in my heart:-) How is that for sentiment? LOL.
