| FOR NEW ANANDHAM DIRECTOR "VIDUTHALAI" Dear Mr Viduthalai |
Congratulations on landing the job of new director of Anandham. We know that you have a challenging assignment trying to sustain audience interest four years into this long-running serial, so here are some suggestions to help you in your job.
- Viewers no longer find any anandham in this serial, so try to wrap it up quickly. Viewers get no anandham at all watching this boring RK family saga. Some India Forum (IF) readers misguidedly commented a while ago that the serial had moved too far away from its original focus on the RK family but they didn't seriously ask for this focus on Karthik and his two wives or even a repeat of the Rocky illness saga, which you seem to be in danger of starting. Please stop focusing on stale storylines and stop taking us on merry-go-rounds. Please end the Karthi-Manisha-Shanthi triangle quickly. Shanthi shouldn't accept a marriage that was based on pity and charity. She should throw out Karthik (she shouldnt leave the house). Manisha shouldn't accept a man who had once dumped her. She should snub him forever. Karthik can go to Australia or go live in the ashram with Daddy. Of course, he should continue to financially support the two women and should have visitation rights to the two children. Both women are highly capable of fending for themselves. They can work to support themselves but Karthik has the obligation to provide finances for the maintenance of the two children. Please show the two women as the strong, independent women they are. Shanthi can go back to business while Manisha can start a travel agency. Karthik (whom we in IF call Baggage) may have been the original hero of this serial but most viewers see AC Durai (ACD) as the real hero. They want to see him in action. More importantly, they want to see some romance between ACD and Priya. Please, please show the kadu kadu ACD romancing Priya until they get married in the final episode. Look, they are both living under the same roof now. Surely there must be plenty of scope for romance and even petty little lovers' quarrels. Please don't show the Indian police force as totally incompetent, corrupt, etc. Please keep Sangakarapandian (SKPD) in prison for life. He can have Srini and Abhirami for company. Bring back Kanduvetti for some humour before he too joins the others in jail. If you want ideas for romance between ACD and Priya, please go through the fan fiction pages (by Giri and Bonheur). There are plenty of ideas that can be adapted. For instance, my story of ACD and Priya going to the zoo! Another idea. Priya and ACD can have a small tiff – for instance, Priya getting upset that she has to depend on ACD for money to go to the market. Finally, they make up by deciding that she should go back to work for financial independence. Then the two of them can go out for dinner to celebrate the decision and discuss her job options. Just simple stories such as these while you complete the Karthik-Manisha-Shanthi saga.
- Finally, wrap up the serial quickly. If you want, you can start a brand new spin-off serial focusing on ACD and Priya, where you can explore the ups and downs in their romance and marital life, along with new subplots and new characters. Plus a promoted ACD can start to reform the police service and undo the damage that Cheyar Raviee and his creative boys did. Or ACD can resign from the police force and set up a private detective agency and you can do a Miami-PI type of serial with a sub-plot focusing on ACD's love life with Priya.
- If necessary, sack your Creative Head and find a more creative one.
Good luck and thanks for reading this
