Joint families are fast disappearing in India replaced by nuclear families. *You watch this serial for the story content not for the glamour of characters or their clothes. *Wholesome family entertainment that you can watch with family *Immense patience and tolerance and goodwill in/of characters *Dignity and earnestness in character portrayal *Relatable to our very own lives and environment *No plotting of murders in temple precincts *No brother-in-law scheming to usurp family business *No alcohol consuming or smoking character *No maligning of characters or character assassination *No mother-in-law pining to strangulate her daughter-in-law
*No daughter-in-law hatching plot to oust her mother-in-law *No brother-in-law rooting for his sister-in-law *No sister-in-law planning to poison the new bride *No spite or vengeance or intense hatred or malice beyond acceptable standards *Every character is fallible and no character is too perfect *No villainification of family members deliberately pitted against each other *Honest portrayal of circumstances without exaggeration *No hidden agenda underlying the script and screenplay *Family oriented underscoring relationships and family and old world values
*No erosion or watering down of morality or ethics of the community in general *Down to earth portrayal of characters, characterization and scene settings Well, for these very simple and at the same time thought-provoking reasons: How can it be possible to retain such a rapt audience interest during repeat telecasts? ‘Metti Oli’ made one more comeback to our homes and is concurrently doing two channels easily even after all these years.
