Thanks Sri for the awesome celeb thread!
To talk about my experience, I've never really been a fan of serials, cos I always had the thought that it was an old people's thing.. to sit and watch serials the whole day, and see the women always either RKOing, KPOing and ICOing 😆
But I was jobless one day and realised Deepak was in this serial. I've always liked Deepak for his humour in JN1 and so decided to catch a few episodes. I think it was slightly before Vel-Thuls wedding time, and it was sooo exciting, with alot of suspense! and of course NR as the villain, he's soo classy and funny! I think that is the first time I actually enjoyed a villain's acting, he performed sooo well! 👏👏 And so I went back to watch the older episodes, and officially got hooked onto it! 😛
As u can see, Thendral really changed my impression of a serial.. definitely cos it appeals to a lot of young ppl, like me. It's quite different from the traditional serial format that other serialmakers adopt, such that so many people from around the world are addicted to it. 😃
Firstly, the crew, and a young director 😛 and of course a superb cinematographer... his camera angles are amazing, esp in the park scene when Thuls hugged TA! I dunno, the whole scene was just soo artistic, with the BGM starting exactly when her feet touches the park! Me being a camera angle fanatic, reallyyy loved it! and the way the camera went in a circle, showcasing their expressions soo well!!! 👏👏👏 This episode was also the time, I used to go maddd discussing Thendral with my dearest sisters, and realised all of us were mad beyond recovery and declared ourselves the "Thendral mental sisters" 😆😆 and also the time when they suggested I shd join IF.. and I'm having a wonderful time here, discussing, laughing and arguing with members... 😃
And the music director and assistants.. they deserve a round of applause for the superbbbb music. The BGMs and songs are sooo beautifully done, not soo jarring like other serials, so apt for the situation, and reflects the emotions and the mood of the situation soo well! 👏👏👏 I'm personally a Thendral BGM addict, keep listening to the BGMs every now and then. And not forgetting the lyricist, with the awesome lines.. the lines really made me go mad the first time i heard them... "mazhaye pon mazhaithuliye en iru vizhiyil nee irukuriye........" kudos to the lyricist!! 👏👏
Without the actors, the show is nothing! Hats off to the main 2, Deepak and Shruthi, for bringing out such trueee emotions, their body language and expressions are amazingggg!!! 👏👏👏👏 Esp in the romantic scenes, they share a superbbbbbb chemistry! I think all of u will agree with me on this... Their eyes speak volumes!! Esp in the candle light scene, when he said she was too pretty and she got shy... omg priceless! 👏👏👏 It was sooo true, I could feel the vibes. And their marriage scene, was yet another scene where I cud rly feel it. The court scene was yet another scintillating one. If I write my most fav scenes, my post will go up to 2 pages, there are just tooo many!!! 😆😆 Every scene with Deepak and Sruthi is a pleasure to watch, no doubt!!! 👏👏 Of course, the other actors like NR (Vel), Sudhakar (MM), Sadhana (Padma), Shanthi Williams (TA's mum), Neelima (Lav), Srividya (Charu), Hema (Deepa), Iyappan (Mohan), SN Lakshmi (Paati) and the rest (too long a list to mention..), everyone has done their best, they have proven that noone is inferior to another! All of them are too goood... Hats off to all the actors!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Of course namma hero as TA, is one of the main reasons I'm still watching this serial. His character is soo well etched, the perfect hubby - for Thuls, the way he takes care of her like a delicate flower, the perfect loverboy, the perfect friend - his helping tendency and care for his friends, the perfect son - who loved his mum soo much and didn't wanna a drop of tear from her eyes (till his mum took advantage of that), the perfect bro - who wanted the best for his sis and cared so much for her... And the way he can't shut once he starts talking, and keeps talking sense but nonsense, reallyyy loveee it! 👏👏😉
And this serial has the perfect combis, TA - Vel (hero - villain), TA - Charu (hero - Villi), TA - Thuls (perfect hubby and wife), TA - Lav (used to be the perfect bro and sis, they were soo good, like real life siblings), Thuls - Deepa, Kalyani & TA - Kanagu, Joseph (the perfect friends, who stand by your side thru think and thin..), Deepa- Varada (the perfect dad who's soo selfless and cares so much for his daughters), Thuls-Padma (the perfect evil stepmother), Thuls-Paati ( the perfect grandma who was with her granddaughter thru all her sorrow and happiness) and also Thuls-MM (of how a dad changed to be a one she really deserved..) .. Also, Thendral showcases and has a perfect balance of romance, comedy, friendship and serious stuff - like the main theme education, even though they digress from it quite often, I'm sure they will look into it and Thuls will graduate in flying colors 👏😃😉
So, all in all, the collective effort of the whole team is super good! If they keep up this work, Thendral will surely bag this year's sun TV awards in all the categories, I'm pretty sure, and all my votes will go to Thendral!! So all the best to the whole team and congratulations on your first year anniversary, keep up the awesome work so far! 👏 and I'm sure we, the viewers are gonna tune in to more exciting episodes in the future, all the very very besttttt!!! 👏😃
Also, thanks a million to all the updaters who have updated the serial from the start, really enjoyed reading all ur updates, banked so much on them when I couldnt watch the episode, esp during my exams, all of you are doing a great great job and let's await another year of updating!! 👏👏👏
