Ethir Neechal - a summary

Hi kids

It's really all my grandparents talk about at this rate, and as a erratic, occasional episode watcher, I take it upon myself to dot-point in a post before hitting the specifics (meaning I sporadically watch the occasional episode and string together the whatevers because there's more than 700 episodes and I have only one braincell).

INTRODUCTION

We start with Janani, a successfully graduated from university human lady (I'm on my last straw with my second year, struggling so very hard to not pull the plug on my life because I'm an idiot box), who was vibing as one does until her father is all "It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife" and marries her off into the first family he finds, which he thinks, will be nice to his kid and let her climb corporate ranks and ultimately get a cushy CEO job.

Turns out the family is full of misogynistic dicks. Oops. Her ambitions of becoming a CEO of god knows what crumble but this lady starts asking questions and starts a revolt, a feminist movement if you will, to help the women of the family give their "fuck you" to the patriarchy.

THE CHARACTERS

Janani: lady who was raised right by her dad to have some self-respect and honestly needs a fucking nap.

Le brothers:

I only start with them because fleshing out who the sisters are and why they are the way they are is easier with context (spoiler, these guys are dipshits)

Brother no 1 - Gunasekaran: Janani's brother in law and the head of the misogynist family. He's the dude we hate, psychologically fucks up the other three brothers by making sure, like him, they don't get an education and thus can't think for themselves, believes women should be stuck in the kitchen, raising kids then burying themselves alive. He makes sure that these women have educations from universities before degrading them completely. He's a real one.

Brother no 2 - Gnanasekaran: Bro has no fucking clue about what life is but I think he may have half a braincell floating in there so there's that.

Brother no 3 - Kathir: Bro has no braincell. Bro lacks anything in there. Bro and critical thinking are Venn diagrams with their circles not within existence of each other.

Brother no 4 - Shakthi: Bro desperately needs a therapist but because this is a desi serial depicting a backwards family, I bet you my goofy Batman magnet he will never see one. He's married to Janani and is essentially malewife. We don't mind him eventually.

Le co-sisters

Eshwari: married to Gunasekaran and I fucking love this lady because she reminds me of my grandma and my grandma is the bestest. She's a vibe, needs a therapist and lots of hugs for having a husband that fucked up.

Renuka: married to Gnanasekaran. She's observant, and sort of the in between, I love her and she needs a therapist and somehow strikes me as a possible cat lady if she'd never married this jackass. I mean this as the biggest compliment possible.

Nandhini: my grandpa's first favourite and my second. She's a sass master, spirit crushed by the dicks of this family and she deserves all the hugs. She's comic relief and smart about how she talks (brash as well, which is where Renuka levels her out).

The Other Characters

Pattamal: absolute BAMF. She's Gunasekaran's grandma and she's kicked ass and taken names. Highly educated, crapped by this family and found her feet once Janani enters and starts the "wtf are you guys smoking, this is not the 1800's".

Aathirai: Sister to the brothers, a piece of shit in the beginning by bullying her sister-in-laws and pulling absolutely no weight around her brothers. Then when her brother marries her off to some insane, far more abusive family she sees the light and starts to help the sister-in-laws. More on that later.

Visalatchi: the mother of the three brothers, toxic patriarchal mindset, is a garbage person to women in the household despite being one. She sees almost no wrong in her sons.

Wooo that was a rant. More to come. There's plenty to unpack with the garbled stuff I've got over the episodes I've seen and my grandma's narrations for the ones I've missed.

Gonna hit the coma, the best eight hours out of the rest of my idiot twenty four hours.

Okay but like,, Sometimes female villains in Indian soap operas are.. so fine???

These writers and directors make a character that is an independent, mean, arrogant woman who wears sleeveless blouses, net sarees and dark lipstick. AND then expect me to not fall in love with her??? Aise kaise bc-

Is it just me who finds that that one singing reality show (the one on sony tv) super weird?

It doesn't seem to have that much of music related content as it claims to be. None of the kids can sing. Also the kids are too young to have a voice developed enough to sing properly. The show solely gets TRP because it has cute kids under the age of 12 as the main focus. Which I think is disgusting because the show caters to creepy audience and the makers are exploiting the kids.

Something about watching mjht again is making me so sad like ugh it reminds me of like early 2000s wale shows that aired on Star One, and I grew up on that way before Channel V even though I was a teen during V ka hype, but Star One had some good original premises yk (maybe not pkyek but I was a sucker for that nonetheless), like seeing people in the show wearing what was considered cool then is funny cause most people now wouldn't be caught dead in those low rise skirts or whatever but it is good to see because these characters act like teens at least, they're petty and make mistakes and study and have things other than sex on their mind (which I'm so tired of ott shows for, have they not met a good part of Indian teenage population ?) It's sad because ik for a fact that ITV could have grown to do much more each time the creators take risks, the audience fails them and we're stuck with the same show with different names on loop. Like the creators of mjht could have very well just stereotyped Mayank or Sameer as just a nerd or just a player but they are more than that, and for once the girl in the glasses is not a timid scaredy-cat, she may be quiet but she stands up for herself, I am not in my Nupur lover era yet so I'll hold back thoughts on that but yeah the show is making me very very nostalgic, I can't believe I miss the times when I was barely even aware of the world outside my house but I am.

If we are never going back to 20 eps per season, at least have it 12-16.... the 16 ep k drama formula has never failed me

Lol I don't watch K-dramas but maybe I should give it a try.
