Friends, my last hope for this show has died!
Update for Thursday, June 25, 2009:
Opening scene: Kavya lying down on Thiru's lap. She refuses to eat dinner until Thatha comes home. Thiru calls Ganesh to see if he knows where Masil is, G says he met M at the temple in the morning. He says M was very depressed over the Kasthuri affair (who wouldn't be, this is the second actress who is playing the role, and both ended up in jail!) and didn't want to return home. In the meantime, Soma comes to Thiru's house, and since all these serial people leave their front doors open, comes in and then apologizes for intruding on his privacy! Then he tells Thiru to marry his daughter, Sophia, and Thiru says that Kavya only looks at Kasthuri as her mother and will never accept Sophia. My question here - shouldn't Thiru, if he has any brains, figure out at this point that if Sophia is Soma's daughter, and Sandhya's sister, then here is where the conspiracy comes in. Anyway, Soma gives Thiru one week to decide.
Bharath is talking to Jayanthi (another unnecessary scene), asking her why she has returned to the village. She says her pregnancy has started to show and soon Amritha will guess, so she had to return. She comes up with the usual stuff that she wants to run away and so on, then Bharath says that her mother and sister will grieve forever, but she is certain that they will look for her for some time and then give up and go on with their lives (at least they have that much sense). Mangai and her friend come down the road at that time, the friend sees J and B talking, points it out to M, who comes up and asks J what she is doing there. J says she is waiting for her friend, and M asks B to bring J, once she meets her friend. M and her friend leave, but the friend is still suspicious of B and J, so she keeps looking at them.
Ganesh comes home and brings food for Jothi. Can't the woman do any cooking? She says she doesn't want it and asks Ganesh to eat it. She says she is worrying about her husband (then why aren't you with him?), but G says that he met M in the temple and he refused to go to G's place. G advises Jothi to go and live with her husband but she refuses to go and live in Kasthuri's house. She defends her darling son, Ram, as always. Finally, G gives up and takes the food inside and hopefully, he eats it. Jothi sheds some crocodile tears.
Masil goes to the temple, which is shut. He sits there and for the next four minutes, we are treated by EK and TK to a replay of various scenes from the past, Kasthuri's wedding, her becoming the head of a computer company, her being attacked in jail, returning as the new Kasthuri, being sent to jail in her wedding clothes, etc., etc.,
Jothi tells Ganesh to eat tiffin (yesterday's left overs?) and does aarathi for God. The kumkumam falls, and she and Ganesh are stunned. Right then, the screen shifts to Masil, who seems to be lifeless! He was my last hope for sanity in this show, and it looks like he has kicked the bucket!
Thodarum ...
