Petition For Manthana DVD's

Petition For Manthana DVD's

Let's start the pressure on ETV to release Manthana's DVD. I want all your support. They wont release it unless knowing there's a confirmed number of buyers. Leave a comment to show the strength of how many are ready to buy if they release it.



I saw in other forum's that some people are so desperate that they are giving their address and contact number online to inform them if there's an announcement. Please dont resort to such things. Dont give out such personal details online. And anyone claiming to be selling serial at present is fake or pirated dont believe it. Wait for official word.

An article was published in Prajavani regarding Manthana recently. Here's the transcript.

ETV ya janapriya dharavahigalaada ‘Preethi illada mele’ mattu ‘Manthana’ dharavahi Ee vaara mugiyuttive. ‘Preethi illada mele’ kathe mugidu yaavudo kaalavaagittu.

Anyone who is interested may get involved.

ನನಗೆ ಮರ್ತೊಗೊ ಮೊದ್ಲೆ ಈ ಬ್ಲಾಗ್ ಪೊಸ್ಟ್ ಬರಿಯೋಣ ಅನ್ನಿಸ್ತು.. ಪೂರ್ತಿಯಾಗಿ ಕನ್ನಡ ದಲ್ಲಿ ಬರಿಯೋ ಅಷ್ಟು ಸಮಯ ಹೂಡಿಲ್ಲ… ಅದಕ್ಕೆ ಮೊದಲು ಕನ್ನಡದಲ್ಲಿ ಶುರು ಮಾಡಿದೆ ಅಷ್ಟೆ….. ಇದೊಂದು ಅನಿಸಿಕೆ… ಮಂಥನದ ಬಗ್ಗೆ !!

This mega serial by Sethuram mainly deals with few things that are commonly & uncommonly seen in the society. Some characters are representative of the personalities, situations, stories and what not…. Just to summarise I shall list down the characters and the stories that are written across to connect them with the feelings. I would also be adding my way of understanding & interpretation which obviously is given to the viewer….

Story line 1 – Sudha beLawaDi(forgot the character name) is a mother in family who shares a wonderful relationships with the females at home. Specially her just graduated-working-daughter. I just loved the way the scenes are picturised. Her mother’s role has been played by Lakshmi chandrashekhar… A vivid thinker(?) & deals with the daily routines in the family. The men in the family are the antogonists. One , the husband of Sudha who is good-for-nothing , who also demands for money at untimely situations. This character looks quite interesting, representing a small strata of men. Sudha’s son who is married to another so-so-wife who is depicted as an ‘Duraaseburuki’ & calculative & what not.

Now the scene is, the son who lives separately with his wife is running short of money to build his house & demanding for a loan which could have sudha’s house as Mortgage. The talks are still in -present-tense- as to what needs to done next. Mother sudha is not in favour of the decision & rest of the janata behaves so situational based…

Story line 2 - A cute little girl who lives with her taata(sethuram has enacted this role) in a small village & she is visited by her mother’s friend who is now the DC of that village. The way the girl gets introduced in the serial is interesting. She has not seen her mother but is inquistive to know about her. She knocks each & every door which can give her a bit of information about her mother. She is scared about the grandpa who is also a victimised poor father who seems to be a contended school teacher. His daughter who is the little girl mother is still a question mark to him, he knows that she went to city for her college & ended up with her pregnancy. It would be too late to question her about -hows-about-the episode. The poor college going girl donates her breathe to her daughter who is the now-little-girl living with her grandpa.

The DC who is Nandini Jadhav(enacted by Nandini-Mukta fame Arundhati) is another character connected to this story2 . Almost 75% of her personality says she is a perfect career woman, having stressful life & a cynical family life. She has taken a transfer to this village voluntarily & now wishes to bring her mother to stay with her. She seems to be another dissatisfied soul with her family life(Now a days, having a job & working itself is a crime -uff ??)….

Today’s episode connects the story line 1 & 2… Nandhini Jadhav happens to be sudha’s younger sister.. Wow!! what a turn… Lets see what happens next.

Story line 3 - Talks about Rajaram who is known to be a strict officer in the Income tax office(where Nandini Jadhav is a DC now).. He seems to be a very simple-living-high-thinking-kinda person. His in-laws are bent upon celebrating his wife’s baby-shower(seemantha) program in a full fledge way which he is not in favour for…

His wife (really pathetic ) who is incidently an house-wife enjoys being pampered by her husband (More in later episodes). This guy rajaram being a sincere officer rejects to accompany her for her check-up the next day due to which she is upset (wonder whether they really needs such reasons ??)

Positive points(or what I liked) -

1) The Dialogues or the script writing(done by sudha & others) is unmatching.

2) Mother daughter relationship is been displayed very fruitful & it has come up very natural(in such a way that most of them could as well relate)

3) The characters matches the personality or viceversa.

4) Episode Direction is excellent.

Something which I didn’t like.

1) Career Woman(as of now) is depicted like a villan (atleast as of now)

2) Dandapinda men, agree they do exists, but not sure whether they can tolerate such an extent of taunting from their wife & vice versa…..

Happy Serial Watching…..
