Asianet — Serials

Asianet, which has a reputation for providing wholesome entertainment, is fast losing that tag, because of the silly, inane, stupid, illogical, ridiculous and absurd turns many of the serials are taking. For e.g.
1. Pranayam: The serial had a fairly good story line to start with. But these days just to keep the serial going ( perhaps for want of anything better), the rivalry between Sharan and Prakash is going to ridiculous lengths. Initially they were shown as rival business tycoons, indulging in all sorts of absurd things to upstage each other. Then one fine day Sharan becomes Prakash's employee, His designation being CEO. Perhaps then Prakash is Super CEO. A CEO is then ordered and assigned by Prakash, to do duty in an Ad. Shoot involving his daughter.
2. Karuthamuthu: this too had a fairly good story line in the beginning. But now it is deteriorating into trash. Some months back the viewers were given the impression that, the serial is reaching a conclusion, with the reunion of Karuthamuthu and Dr.Balan being aired at the end of each episode. Then as usual, since no substitute serial was in the horizon, it got a fresh lease of life.Then we see Dr.Mareena plotting murder, blood, gore and mayhem from inside the jail, while her targets are shown as helpless nincompoops, scared out of their wits. Dr.Balan goes to Dr.Arun's house just to see the much talked about, and highly praised Paru. But at the last moment she has to go for a bath. ( silly and absurd reason to say the least ) and dr.balan goes away without meeting her. The characters Karuthamuthu and Kanya are made to lose their memory at the whims and fancies of the script writer, just to suit the plot. Please spare the viewers further agony and give it a quick burial.
3.Chandanamazha: Enough to say that, the silly, stupid, ridiculous, absurd, shameless antics of Mayavathi are sufficient reason to switch channel, when this serial is being aired.
Please do not test the patience of the viewers further, and try to bring these inane serials to an end. Else the viewers only option would be to migrate to other channels.
