Kasthuri Archives July 09

Update for Thursday, July 2, 2009:

Kavya is reading something and Thiru comes in and tells her that Kasthuri is in jail. He tells her that they have to help her come out of jail. Kavya wants to know why Kasthuri is in jail. He tells her that she has to be away from there so that he can take care of certain things, so he is going to send her to a school in Ooty. She doesn't want to go, but he tells her that it will only be for a few days, and once he is done with his tasks, he will bring her back. He spouts philosophy at her, saying that they must learn to adapt to their circumstances. She seems to understand all this philosophy and agrees.

The rascal is reading a newspaper, and his son is sitting on the couch. Radha comes down, so he hurriedly puts away the paper and wears a sad expression (don't come in front of me, or I will bash your face in!). He regrets not having been by his father's side at the end. He blames Kasthuri for Rekha's murder, and when Radha says she deserves this punishment and more, he smirks from behind. He says that if it were not for Santhosh, he too would have died when Rekha died. She advises him to be strong and says that ippo thaan neenga concentration pannanum (I guess there is some dish called concentration!). Radha says she plans to go and meet Sandhya and make sure that Thiru does not get a chance to rescue Kasthuri, but Ram dissuades her and says he is meeting Sandhya regularly. He will make sure that Kasthuri gets the fitting punishment. He then goes to his room and gloats in front of Rekha's framed photo. He says that her father kicked him out, now he is gone, she tried to get rid of him, she is gone, and his father supported Kasthuri, now his father is dead and Kasthuri is in jail. He also tells her that there is a new girl in their office now, and he is going to work on her now and this is disgusting, but he makes a kissy noise and .. Yuck!

Bharath and Thiru are talking about Kasthuri. T tells B that he has decided to help Kasthuri, so he is going to marry Sophia. Then he will go away from Kasthuri's life altogether, so she can have a life of her own. Idiot, why didn't you read what I have been saying all along, connect Soma and Sandhya and Ram and Sophia. Bharath advises him against it, and tells him to think about it carefully. He says that they will go to other police officers, the commissioner, or even the Home Minister. Thiru says that he does not care about his life, so he is going to tell Sandhya tomorrow that he is ready to get married to Sophia.

Sandhya is playing billiards in a ghastly outfit that reminds me of traffic lights. Thiru tells her that he has decided to marry Sophia, on the condition that Kasthuri is freed first and then he will marry her sister. She says that she was awaiting this all along but Kasthuri can be released only after certain procedures are done. He insists that he will tie the thali only when Kasthuri is released. She tells him not to renege on his word once Kasthuri is released, and he says that he doesn't go back on his word. She says that she has all the evidence needed for Kasthuri's release, and he says that the sooner she gets Kasthuri out, the sooner he will tie the thali around Sophia's neck. Maybe he did read my message and is pretending to play along with Sandhya, so that Ram can be identified as the murderer, and then Sandhya's role in the cover up will come to light. The camera freezes on a thoughtful Sandhya. THODARUM

Update for Thursday, July 9, 2009:



Kasthuri is sobbing away to Thiru saying that she has been defeated in life. She has no one who cares for her, she is an orphan. He says she has Kavya, but she denies that, saying that Kavya is now in Ooty, doesn't know if she will ever see her again. Thiru tries to console her, but she asks him not to come and see her again. She tells him that it is his duty to take care of Sophia and restore her to her former self (I am tired of this self-sacrifice!).

Sandhya and Soma consult with an astrologer, who gives them a date for the wedding. Sandhya is wearing a sari, by the way. He tells them to do some parikaram at Chidambaram temple, and then sees the picture of Jesus. He apologizes, but Sandhya tells him they don't believe in this religion thing (I think that is what she is saying, I listened to it on Isaitamil too, but I am not sure if I got the meaning right. Please correct me if needed.)

Bharath is working in the factory. Jayanthi comes there to let him know that she cannot stay in the hostel any more as everyone knows about her being pregnant. Bharath asks her to hang in for a few days while he tries to make some arrangements, but she says that she cannot go back there any more. Two men are watching him, and they wonder who she is. One guy says that he has seen Bharath's wife, but this is not his wife. The other guy, who is called Thalaivar, asks him to find out and then says that he will use that against Bharath. I guess this is the union leader, with whom Bharath had a fight.

EK and TK have been following these pages and decided to show us that they have created characters who are not bad, but who have hearts of gold (and I am the Maharani of Jaipur!), so they have this scene where the viewers are supposed to get all teary eyed, but I was so ticked off! Sandhya and Soma go to the hospital, and the nurse talks a lot of junk about how people leave that place for treatment or pilgrimages, but this is the first time anyone has left to get married. Then they go and take a look at Sophia, who is oblivious to their presence. Soma is overcome by some kind of feelings. Then he tells Sandhya that he now realizes the value of a family and children, and asks her if she will call him Appa once. What a lot of emotion in this scene, and it was all wasted on me! She holds his hands and calls him Appa, and all the sad music plays on in the background. Roja, where are you, can you come up with the right songs for these so-called emotional but meaningless scenes?

Bharath goes with jayanthi to some friend's house, leaves her there, and offers his friend's wife money, he says it is for expenses, if J's father were alive, he would do it, sob, sob, sob😭, she says she will take care of her like a mother, blah, blah, blah, and he says he is giving money like he would give his mother.😭 Jayanthi is listening to all this and feeling ... what?

Sophia gets out of a window, jumps down, sees the milk van coming, gets into the milk van and seats herself comfortably in one corner, and presumably, the van leaves.

Thodarum ....
