King Suleiman Akan Segera Hadi di ANTV, Ini Sinopsisnya

HARIANACEH.co.id — Setelah sukses dengan serial Mahabharata, ANTV kemudian menayangkan beberapa drama kolosal asal India seperti Mahadewa, Jodha Akbar, dan Ramayana. Hal ini juga membuat stasiun TV lain ingin mengikuti jejak ANTV yang berhasil mempopulerkan kembali film India di Indonesia.

Usually when I come back home from work it's around 6 pm, and I like to cool my heels in front of the TV with a cup of coffee for a bit. So it means I watch this soap-opera (we call them "mega-serials") called Mundhaanai Mudichu on a fairly regular basis, as it plays everyday during that exact time-slot.

As anybody who's watched your regular Tamil mega-serial can tell you, it's a long, repetitive sob-fest. They almost always feature female protagonists (lots and lots of women populate these shows), but these heroines are the self-sacrificing, forever-wronged-and-betrayed-by-their-unworthy-family types, who believe in the sanctity of marriage of all else ("so what if he's an abusive douche and you are a working woman perfectly capable of fending  for yourself? you are nothing without a husband!"), firmly anti-abortion and any lady who's even the slightest bit aggressive/ambitious/reasonably self-serving is portrayed as a two bit evil caricature who'll stoop to murdering infants to inflict "revenge" on the protag. Basically, a feminist's nightmare.

However, there's an interesting storyline going on now that I feel like is an almost inadvertent subversion of all of these tropes...

I'm not going to explain backstory here; this serial is more than a thousand episodes old, and even I can barely keep track of everything. But here's the thing: so Muthu and Kavitha are a married couple, right? He's got two younger brothers who're married to Kavitha's younger sisters, and they're a pretty tightly knit family. Muthu and Kavitha have been unable to conceive while both the younger couples have kids, and while it does sadden them, they're kinda okay with it. They're devoted to each other; Kavitha's more educated than Muthu, and she helps him develop his small shop into a large company, and they make great partners both in office and at home. It's all pretty hunky-dory between them until Kavitha is diagnosed with a brain tumour and is told she only has a few months to live. She keeps this secret until he discovers the truth almost by accident. Then, in a series of Big Dramatic Scenes, she tries to convince him to marry again, because she never bore him children, and she doesn't want to leave him without a shot at leaving a legacy. He's vehemently opposed to this, but after a lot of emotional blackmail, agrees to marry a family friend.

Just before the marriage, it turns out that Kavitha was falsely diagnosed; she's completely cured of the "tumour". It's too late, now: Muthu is already married to Thenmozhi. Now it gets interesting: Muthu and Thenmozhi are very fond of each other and slowly starting to get intimate (especially after an incident where Thenmozhi saves Muthu's life at great risk to her own), and Kavitha can't bear it because she's intensely jealous, but knows that the whole reason Muthu and Thenmozhi are together is because she was such a martyr and insisted.

I mean, it's such a cool, tangled little dynamic, and I definitely did not in a million years expect this from a mega-serial.
