Yet, when we made comment on AK, Elika comes out and decides to be a contributor and not only that she is angry with us. But did she thank the contributors esp those who provided information of as what is going on in MM? Oh No!! but she writes with red emoticons. My oh My.......

Well girls, maybe now we know how to bring silent readers in. We criticise and eureka... they come in with angry face. 😳

Elika, we IFians have a pact that we won't talk on personal lives of actors/actresses. But, we have the right to criticise the character/role they play.

Anyway, Elika welcome to the Forum. I hope you enjoy yourself in contributing towards this forum as much as we all do. We are all very nice people here. You will like us as you go along. 😃

Well said. (Dunno about liking us though. 😉 😆 )

Yeah Meli..
The show was a li'l bit disappointing. May be, just like you I expected too much in the finale. The editing of this show was kinda unprofessional.

Again something seemed really fishy this time as well. But this time it was with Arvind, Tarika. Arvind had performed really well all these weeks (esp. with the Gilli song in the solo round) and it did seem quite strange that he would abruptly move away from Tarika as if he'd forgotten some steps... not once but twice. And then just like that they did so well the third time, incorporating some ice dancers/ballet moves as well. And Tarika also didn't look genuinely upset, even when she was pretending that she was upset, when he messed up the 2nd time. Onnume Puriyale..it just didn't seem real to me, that the pair had problems with their "chemistry", just in the last round.

And for only this pair, there were no comments from the Judge(s) right after their performance. The way they cut to the commercials, right after their dance without AK announcing a break or anything did seem odd. I'm guessing the comments were later edited out for whatever reason.

Anyway, Mahendran and Neepa did dance very well. Lots of energy.. hmm.. but so did Arvind and Tarika! Sanjay and Mallika were good, but I felt that the choreographer could have done a better jobn with the steps. I noticed a number of moves were quite repetitive in their dance. Mallika looked quite uncomfortable for a few moments with her skirt riding up when there were brisk movements on the floor.

Mahen, Neepa - Winners
Sanjay, Mallika - Runners Up

Ok.. cut to the concession speech. Arvind,Tarika quite gracefully accepted that they lost. Tarika let it go too easy and it bothers me much. Is she really that nice? Not even an iota of sadness/disappointment and she kind of unconditionally supported her jodi. I was like Wow.. that's super nice of her but that's a lot of money to let go like that!

Sanjay seemed truly upset that they didn't win. Well.. it was anybody's guess that they wouldn't be the winning pair. He went on and on about how he thought he was the best dancer and God knows about it and so on. It made sense the first time he said it, but he was "araicha mavai araichufying" with the same lines and it got boring with his speech, after a while.

Oh God.. Mallika was so cute when she finally spoke on this show. She got some of us at home slightly misty with the way she conceded. Quite sentimental, I would say. She said she knew that she won't make it, but prayed whole heartedly that Neepa should win, 'cos she knows about Neepa's "position". May be that's some personal story of Neepa's. She said she made many good friends b'cos of this show as she is not the party type (who goes out to make friends at parties). I'm sure with all that she said, she would make more women fans for her Anjali show. She seemed very real with what she said and it was so nice to see Neepa and Mallika hug like real friends, after Mallika's speech!

My Dad says Mallika survived the axe so far 'cos the producer of Anjali (Anita Kumaran) produced this show as well. After he mentioned it, it seemed quite logical why the producers would try to keep her till the finals, of course to gain popularity for Anjali.

But Why Oh Why would they call DeviPriya on stage to carry the big cheque to be presented to the winners? Vera aale kedaikaliya enna? Ayyohhhhh.. edhukku ivlo importance DP-kku?

Bharat was really good with his comments. He even interrupted Tarun at one time to support the Sanjay-Mallika pair. Very good observation from Bharat and he so nicely put it across, without making it hurtful. At the end of it all, I really hope Meena learnt a thing or two from Bharat about doing your own thing and not copying some one else's comments as your own.

So, it seems like MM Part 2 is cooking. Since Tarun announced it, I believe he's going to be the Judge the 2nd time around as well but I'm praying that they would bring a more sensible co-judge. Meena-va loose la vidungappa. Please bring some one who has some idea about judging dance shows. Enough of stupid comments and she really freaked me out, when she kept saying Mallika was a freak-out this time. Couldn't she at least check what a word really means before using it on TV? It's a shame to say that she was my junior at school.

I'M VERY SORRY..........

THANK U, THANK U, THANK U

Hi Elika

I for one, do not think badly of anyone, unless they prove to me otherwise. I am a bit frustrated that there a lots of silent readers out there, who won't register themselves just to thank the updaters. Let me tell you, it is not easy to watch video on internet and do the updates. It is really tough.

Most of us here are working and studying and very busy with our lives as well. Yet, many of us take time to thank the updaters for their massive contribution towards this forum. For eg Meli, Sri and Pokkiri are one of the biggest contributors in this forum. Guess what.....??? They are students and they have assignments/classes/hours of studying to do. Yet in between their busy schedule, they do find time to do updates or help others to do updates. So don't you think they deserve a big thank you and applause for their detailed updates?

About AK. We do appreciate his hardwork but if your hardwork comes across to the audience as crap, that means something is wrong somewhere. It is like you are working in the office, you know you worked hard on a project, yet your boss is not satisfied. So, do you resign or change job or improve your quality of work? I am sure you will choose the third option, before you choose the other two options. Otherwise, there is no bonus or increment for you this year. 😉

Similarly, your friend should encourage AK by telling him, that this what audience feel about his performance and in return AK should take it astride and improve the quality of his work. Like his pronounciation or his hairstyle. End of the day, he is facing the camera.

Abt DPriya, I don't like people criticising on a person's body look. Hey, I am not Ms World either. 😃 I really appreciate that DP can really dance and performs well. But what eirked lot of us here was there were mistakes she balantly did but Master Tharun gave her praise (apparently she is his favourite) but very much criticised other participants even though they did as well as her.

Then when she was doing her solo rounds, I for one went red. 😡 😡 As far as I am concerned she could have done better, instead of shaking her booty all the time. It was really annoying. She happens to be my favourite actress

So please take into heart, that we are not sitting here just to have pleasure in bitching about the actors/actresses. But as audience we too feel the frustrations. We sit infront of t.v. after hard day's work and need some entertainment to wind us down and there are people appearing in t.v. with overdramatic expressive mannerisms which shoots up our blood pressure.

They organised IIFA Awards in Malaysia, and the comperes came out in their best wardrobe. They looked elegant. They were in tradionals clothes as well as tuxedos. They spoke very clearly and very professionally. This is what I am talking about. You don't have to be in the audience to feel the magic. You can be in front of the t.v. and still feel the magic in the air.

With this being said, I hope you don't run off and become a silent reader again. Do join us when time permits. Btw, if you have time - go to Anandham thread and read the contributions in a topic "IF Code of Conduct".

Yikes.......... in writing so much...... I almost forgot my q's. 😳 😳

Meli and Jenim, Thanks pah for your detailed writeup on MM. Just great. 👏 👏 👏

Hi friends,
I'm a silent reader from SINGAPORE of this MM program.Someone gave remarks about the host of MM,AK's hairstyle and so on.....Do anyone know about this guy's profile.He's a well educated Singaporean,with a good family background and if i'm not mistaken his father is a army major or offical.AK is a good actor and even his father is a good actor in the local tv. AK is married and have children.He dressed liked that in the singapore show because the person doing the show make him dress like that.Even in MM,it goes the same.PLEASE DON'T COMPARE HIS DRESSING WITH VK as AK have alot of dressing sense in person.PLEASE DON'T CONDAM OR TALK BAD ABOUT ANYONE WITHOUT KNOWING ABOUT THE PERSON. 😡

THANK YOU.
Elika

excuse me! i'm a singaporean too. i have pride in the people of my nation too but i cannot be biased enough to say that AK has good hairstyles when he obviously doesn't just because he is from a well-known family in singapore. god.. even the great rajinikanth or amitabh bachan are not spared from critisism, who is anantha kannan then?😃

i already mentioned that anantha kannan was an actor & his wife is also an local singaporean actress & that he is married.

okay one thing that bothers me is how you're conviniently shifting the blame onto the people who dress anantha kannan. how old is AK? 4? is he a baby to be spoon fed everything? he is an adult & don't tell me he doesn't look in the mirror after he's all dressed up? i'm sure if he says it nicely enough, the organisers won't make him wear such trashy clothes with equally trashy hairstyles. but if AK enjoys wearing such trashy clothes.. who's fault is it? the organisers?🤔🤔

don't compare AK's dressing sense to VK's? if he dresses in the same way VK dresses, we can only compare AK with VK. are we supposed to compare AK with some famous gucci male model's dressing? would that be fair to AK? please.. do enlighten us on how great AK dressing sense is in person then.😊 we all would love to hear about his wonderful dressing sense that we obviously & sadly can't seem to see.

we are not condemning AK's character. what we are condemning is the show & AK's attire. did you hear any one of us saying that AK is from a lousy family that is why he dresses that way? if we said that, that's an attack on the person's character. but if we comment about the person's clothes, hairstyle or fashion sense, it's merely constructive critisism.😊 shocked? well.. that's the difference between bashing & CC.

if AK or his fans/supporters don't want to hear any form of negative remarks, what is he doing on television then? if you're ready to go before the camera, you must be ready for critisisms too.😊 now that is a fact anyone & everyone knows.

and lastly elika, stop shouting. we are not dumb. we can understand perfectly what your point is without you posting in caps.

thank you.😊

Did AK refer to Devipriya as "Ms.COngeniality"? or did my ears fail?

Elika.....i think we all have right to comments on the actors/actresses. Please stop using those angry signs and red marks....just not healthy. I dont want to repeaat what everyone here have said...but the stars have the responsibility for their attire.
IF they dress wierd, then will get wierd comments only! ANd guess what i am sure AK himself would be sportive enough to laugh at the comments we have showered on him.
And i am sure all my fellow IFians will join me in condemning the dress that Devipriya wore in her Shakalaka baby dance. It was Yucks....u have wear what suits you right? THe dancer who danced yesterday wore a glammy one too...but it didnt look bad at all....but what devipriya wore really cringed our eyes...

ANyways...I am glad ELika you finally came out of the silent mode....you know..most memebers here are so so so busy, we have people from varied professions here but still they are courteous enough to say a thank you or a simple comment here and there. I am a regular visitor to these forums but my professional life doesnt let me post my comments every day....but i try to whenever i can. I have done updates and fictions before and i know how irritating it is when people read your work but not leave a comment.

Madhu

NO MORE COMMENTS 👏

I'M VERY VERY SORRY...........

THANK U,THANK U,THANK U...........

From: Elika ( I'M GOING OUT OF HERE)👏

Oh dear....not quite the response we expected but obviously you can't stand the heat. 😆 😆

Thanks everyone for this thread; I don't watch this show as I am unable to do so but I appreciate your hard work. 👏

Masthana Masthana was the best Of the 3-mannada mayilada/jodi#1. The other shows were good, but did not have the same consistency as MM from suntv.
Meena looked stunning and graceful for the final and I hope she does not pay too much heed to her detractors. Her grace, english diction and costumes were electrifying.
Poor Sanjay was it's most classical performer, but got trumped in the final. Unfortunately, he got a partner who was better at making concession speeches than performing in a final.
