Marmadesam

The Real serial which is re release after 25 years and still no other running serials can beat this.. salute to the entire vidathu karuppu team..

Its marvelous tamil language thriller serious of 90's . Even now its par than the all other current age high budget thriller series. All the cast crew are unique in thier acting. The universal thing like belief of God and judgment day will make this series a hit world wide. I request the producers to bring out English subtitles for this series soon.

Marmadesam (Vidaathu Karuppu) is a great serial which has wonderful technical aspects. The serial passes with suspences and twists in every episode. Its great entertainment.

To the 80 and 90's generation Marmadesam especially Vidaathu Karuppu is a trail blazer. Detailing in every craft can be seen right through this series be it in casting, costumes, lighting, cinematography, racy story telling, plot progression through juxtaposing the past and the present and even upping the ante by having a female lead take on the belief system of an entire village. The creatives have showed the parallel quest of two characters -a. Reena the FL (a writer first besides being a doc) thirsting to debunk the legend of 'Karuppu' as a myth and also wanting to prove that it is a convenient fictional narrative used by some random blood thirsty man b. Nanda, another senior doc who inadvertently stumbles upon the mystery of Karuppu and some documented evidences that prop this theory of Karuppu. A systemic rational discussion is needed to take on mythological tales like Karuppu as it is part of the cultural narrative of rural Tamilnadu and writer Indra soundar Rajan (whose Vittu vidu Karuppa inspired this series) along with Director Naaga and team have therefore dealt with it in a cerebral yet entertaining manner. Thankyou Kavithalaya for the rerun and enabling us to relive the thrills and the buzz it created back then. In short Vidathu Karuppu is like one big vintage black and white photo that showcases the tone and tenor of Thottakaaramangalam to the T.

Vanakkam, Vidathu Karuppu is my most favourite Tamil serial of all time. Kudos to all those involved in this project.
