MEGA"Serial" Killing

Offlate I have been watching the tamil MEGA serials. Oh god its torture watching them but you cannot help but watch it day after day especially when there is nothing else to do! Also the stupid hooks they put catch you and make you wonder what is going to happen the next day.

The serials are soo predictable, yet keep you hooked and have mass appeal! This led to one of my family members being inspired to write a serial. In the brain storming session they analysed the important aspects of a serial. They are as follows:


  • A senti name or a relative name : e.g Chithi
  • A villi & a gang (usually a family member who is the villian)
  • Lots and lots of family problems
  • Someone with two wives or a mismatch of wives
  • Police
  • People with the craziest expressions looking at or away from the camera
  • Family element
  • Sentiment
  • Revenge
  • Suspense
  • Inustice (especially within a household)
  • Quirks, quotes and catch phrases
  • Comedian
  • Servants who talk more than their employees

The list goes on and on! I sat thinking about writing a complete list but even thinking about it made me tired! LOL! So I shall leave you with this list to further expand on if you wish and please do leave your comments about your serial watching experiences.
