Chidambaram Dies
This is my first post on Sun TV, which I've been watching (evening shows) for about a year.
Metti Oli
Chidambaram of Metti Oli died today. Frankly, the guy was disgustingly sweet and accommodating too often, at times, but I'm going to miss him. I knew his days were numbered yesterday when he made that call to Bhavani in Singapore. Poor man, he never got to see the reformed Ravi or the contrite Manikkam (that would take another 800 episodes). Today when I turned on the show and found it to be Episode 800, I knew Chidambaram was a goner. And Friday night -- they needed something dramatic, and by golly did they get it!
I'm going to miss the kind, if confused, old man. I've grown accustomed to his face. The agony that is going to descend on Monday when the daughters and sons-in-law come to know! The fate of Manikkam's mother is going to be terrible. Will she be able to ride this one out?
Selvi
Nothing much happened today. The story is quite twisted now, and they've started focusing on a competitor of GJ's, who wants to craft a marriage alliance between his sister and GJ to eliminate GJ as a business rival. GJ's father kicks them out, but Ranjini tracks them down and tries to arrange a meeting.
Andavan of Sri Lanka has moved to India and plans to start his operations there.
Manaivi
The story has run into the sands. They waste time. Krishnakumar and Kalpana go to meet Rohini's family with a view to convincing them. Kalpana evades the father and manages to meet Rohini, who, after remaining silent, says Arivu should go ahead and marry someone else. But Rohini's mother is steadfast that her daughter will not marry Nandu.
Neelavaeni confides to the maid that she plans to escape soon. Kudumi sees them talking, but whether he actually he heard the conversation is unclear.
Kanavarukkaga
This absurd story grows grotesque by the day. A total waste.

Chidambaram (Delhi Kumar) is one of the best actors in Tamil serials today. I thought his portrayal of the pulls of being an affectionate father, a god-fearing man, and poor country gent was awesome. He will really be missed, but the series is coming to an end anyway.
Thirumurugan (director) has done wonderful job of acting + direction. We would always remember the way he held his f-i-l in his arms. Delhi kumar expression was super acting. MO is the best serial I have come accross.
I'm glad I missed this episode then. The characters in this show have so much depth and the actors are so good that it is almost too painfully realistic to watch. I think people like the character of Chidambaram because he is an example of a truly egoless person.
