I saw this thread today. so sharing my views about this serial. I didn't watch this serial for sometime and started watching it for time pass. I felt it was interesting and started watching too. I thought serial will be end after reunion of saravanan & meenakshi but it started again with new dimensions. How can a father keep his sister's name(meenakshi) to his daughter? (When she is alive, generally if they are not alive we will keep to remember them often) And now comes Sakthi saravanan. His name is sakthi saravanan but everyone used to call him as saravanan. Its so rediculous. Now a days i am not interested to watch this serial as it becomes cheesy......
Old one was good. The young Canada Born Tamilian acts so funny. One of e episode, he was upset because the girl he selected was in the pub dancing. What about him? Was it ok for a man to go to the pub? Sometimes, it is little strange the way he praises his mom. What happened to all the uncles and aunts- disappeared. Grand Parents are ok. Not watching it regularly.
I wish they ended up once the old pair got united.. Not sure why they wanted to drag... They are thinking people will watch .... Not interested in this now... Though the old one was good..
I was exactly thinking the same about the pub issue. The story is supposed to take place after 25 years and still the pub culture is looked down upon. Strange. Maybe the director is still thinking of the world 25 years agr was it the young saravanan is in 2013 and the older generation in 1988. Couldn't catch the point.
Any one watched yesterday's episode? So funny. Meenakshi's mother has become too old. But Saravanan's parents are so young (like Mahabharat's characters which never grow old). In the old Saravanan Meenakshi, characters will vanish all of a sudden. After a point, they didn't show Meenakshi's mother till the end and Soundarya used to disappear quite often. It is so irritating. Is there anything else to watch in the 8-9 PM slot?
Meenakshi's mom didn't look like this new grand mother. I am originally from Triunelveli you don't suddenly put a big earrings lie, that. I love this style, but not for Meenakshi's mom. They are goofing off too much. Sarada's character looks so stupid. They show spawn dray as a cook. She is well educated. Why can't she do social work or something. New meenakshi ( niece ) looks pretty. But 95% of the story line is so stupid.
I stopped watching the new one, but my mom watches it. I know whats going though. How come a guy who hasnt been to India can speak tamil like that and can get the people's mentality so easily. May be it might have been better if they changed the title of the serial and say its a totally new serial. They dragged the old one too much and even now they are dragging by all those flashbacks.
