I can't stand Sun, Raj, Zee tamil. Colors. even few other shows in Vijay TV are boring😆

Hehe same, I watch 2 decent ones on Sun, afternoon shows are way better than prime time. Vijay tv's new show with Vikatan televistas is very nice 😁😁

Sathya, my last show was that I watched from start to finish was IPKKND with Barun and Sanaya. After that I have returned to ITV for PS only because it was touted to be a remake. Though the beginning was different as we did not have childhood track until much later in the OG and also was not too elaborate but the kids in this version, pulled me in. I knew Shiny and Kinshuk, Shiny was in Saraswatichandra, her debut show but more famous for Jennifer Winget and Gautam rode pairing, watched it for some months, then quit, till date haven't been able to finish watching it. Kinshuk I knew because I was very active in the forum during IPKKND days. I also knew Krutika from her shows in the 80s and 90s. But the kids made me stay and watch it. As for the older Dev, Shiva, Krish, Raavi or Rishita, knew none of the actors. When they copied the OG's marriage track, I was relieved. But things started to take a turn and still supported them in the haveli tracks (in hindsight those tracks look much better than what we are seeing now) also started liking other actors like Mohit, Alice, KD, Simran, now even Akshay seems better to me than Ankita.

All I am asking now is that I want proper closure, for all the time I have invested in this show😆

I'm waiting for this too Akka.... I'd considered watching post confession as well because initially they executed Shivi pretty well, no cliche tropes for them... But at the rate they're going, until the Choubeys' store of sasta nasha ends, I'm not waiting on anything from them...

Thamizhum Saraswathiyum 😁

Suman has been negative from day one, representative of a generational conflict of many households across India. Familial toxicity, conflict, peer pressure, emotional infidelity, crankiness, crazy marriages are all realities in different strata of society.
Men, in most households, deflect unreasonable demands from their mothers to maintain peace. Rarely again mein Khade ho Kar Kuch bhi stand leta hai.

In short, my problem with PS is the non-closure of tracks and not the storyline at all! What I would have wanted to see were conflict based soliloquies to delve deeper into each character. I don’t care for morals in fiction. Moral ambiguity, subversive characters etc., add spice to narratives. The challenge here it’s a loud conflict rather than a subtle one. Hence, the angst. It’s like you enjoy watching a Beena Tripathi and her sense of agency over her life, but it has a substantial subversive moral ambiguity.

The problem again with PS is that they glorify the family as an ideal one, whereas they are simply dysfunctional like any other neighbourhood home.

Okay, I shall give you a neutral opinion. In fiction, we look forward to escaping from reality. We want a hero who cares for women. Who stands for rights, whereas in real life, nothing like that happens. Husband wife rarely has conversations if you share the equation like Shivi.

We all seek validation. Raavi had a trigger point for Shiva. She rejected him badly every time. It doesn’t mean Shiva wasn’t at fault! His character is Bail Buddhi. Brick headed. He has always been like a volcano, unreasonable, and a person whose emotional acumen often clouds his judgement. He was a violent child with Maami too.

So whatever he does isn’t out of the blue because he is a sinister character, and so is Raavi. If genders are reversed, a gender ambiguity shall have completely changed narratives.

Does that absolve and defend him? No

Does that make Raavi a culprit? No

Do they deserve better than each other? Yes, ideally

But, do ideal relationships exist so commonly in real life. A relationship like Shivi isn’t a work in progress. It’s either you are there or not!

There’s always a reason why a character behaves a certain way. No one glorifies Shiva in the family except the enabler of patriarchy in the form of Suman.

Everyone either hits him madly, screams at him or criticises him equally.

Raavi and her Dobiness, her lack of agency is again a conflict of most girls from Tier 2, 3 cities. Various anthropology dipstick surveys represent that too!

Monogamy is highly overrated. In real life, subconsciously, you’d see people often clueless, passive or often confuse validation with solace. It’s a quagmire of what needs to be done, what goes behind their brains and the circumstances. Sometimes, people become delusional and have no sense of rhyme and reason.

The problem again with ITV is a skewed approach of black and white characters, which have been shoved down our throats over time. It makes most of the shows caricaturist and the problematic representation of gender-biased narratives.

In short, all characters remain true to their colours. There has been some growth, some stunted shortfalls, but overall it’s an enjoyable show.

There would be days, they’d trigger my angst against something, but I watch it from a distance and laugh at their Kaands.

I think Bharathi Kannamma on Vijay TV is halfway good? Amma paapanga adhu, and she rarely follows shows regularly... Which was my biggest hint, really..

Strong FL, ML who used to be amazing but made stupid mistakes and is still a good but stupid person, MLs family supports the DIL and not the son... Naanum konjam konjam paathu irukken, nalla dhan irukkum...

But true, lots of Tamil shows are being inspired by the illogical nature of hindi shows when people are screaming at hindi TV to try to be as progressive as regional shows... 😆

Bharathi Kannamma has been going on for some time , it is difficult for me to start from episode 1 at this time. I have seen some promos, looks like the ML divorces Kannamma and he marries Venba😆

One thing I like about BK, you said that ML's family supports Kannamma through and through which we will not see in Hindi shows😆

I always want a clean story like Pandian Stores because that is how shows used to be back in the day, in the 80s and 90s with less complication and more relatable to the audience, grew up watching them all.

Raavi Pandya Ka pati.. Shiva Pandya❤️🔥🔥

Loved how Shiva chased away London wala Nishant🤣

But..but.. he said all the things we wanted him to say to Disha... Divorce nhi chahiye toh Teri Disha ko bol.. matlab your family can look for new partner for yourself but Raavi's family can't??? Why this hypocrisy
