Arasi. 17.11.08 ---21.11.08 - Page 5

Madam Radhika clearly does not intend to end this serial anytime soon ... hence the many failures endured by Arase and her merry band of incompetents.

Killing off Saro at this juncture is not only unnecessary but I don't know how well they will play those scenes. As already pointed out Aishwarya died, and what shockwaves did we get? Nothing! Not even a funeral. Chelvi and GJ cried as they received the body, but nothing further was shown, not even the reaction of Aish's brother and sister or her grandparents (Thamarai's parents and brothers). In Chelvi and GJ's next scene they had completely moved on, behaving as though it was not their elder daughter who had been killed so brutally. I can understand GJ - he has only cared for himself, but what about Chelvi? She made a promise to her best friend to take care of her children and one child has died yet Chelvi is moving on with her life after two minutes of crying? Maybe we can say she was preoccupied with Saro's poisoning but let's also think who is this Saro? An adopted mother who has come along in the last year ... as opposed to the daughter of Chelvi's lifelong best friend she has been raising as her own for the past ten years ...

At least if they gave the explanation why Chelvi could not come to Saro's bedside because she was in mourning for her daughter we could understand, In my opinion they should have put Saro's poisoning story first and then followed by Aish's death and although we are all tired of opparis this was one situation that severely needed it.
