Hi ,
Manthana is a very good Serial. Very good hold on language,dialogues, flow etc.. Only Problem is timing. Is it possible to shift this to 9:30, which is very good time to watch this serial.
Also included with some sahithya dialogues or some famous quotes of famous kannada poets will be great.
Totally a very good Serial.
Thanks,
Naveen

Manthana has elevated TV serials to a new high. Hats off to sri Sethuram for the dialogues coming out from the inner most depths of the human mind. The dialogue between the professor and Shrithi (11th May) so clealry brings out the aspirations, responsibilities, feelings of a young woman in a typical middle class family.
The high point of every evening is watching manthana. Bravo Sethuram!!

Hi,
This is one serial I wait to watch everyday. Star casting, screenplay, direction is at its best. I wanted to know who Sethuram is? Is he the one who plays Sumathi’s husband’s role in the serial?

Ananya, Sethuram is that grandfather of kshama, the little girl..
He is also father of Aditi, who has now sought a help from sivashankar reddy for a tutor’s job in the latter’s college.

I am a theatre person, finished my diploma in theatre arts at Ninasam Heggodu. I see only few selected serials like minchu & manthana which I won’t miss to watch. But one thing I observed (in manthana serial) is the dialogue delivery of some characters are like how mr.sethuram delivers. I do not know wether the dialogues a imitated or the dialogues written in the pattern in such a manner how mr.sethuram speaks. I hope the dialogues are written by mr.sethuram. But over all the serial is one among the best. keep it up. Mr. T N Seetharam has built a good balaga who can tranform good tastes in the society and people. Best wishes.
Some time I was inspired towards joing this mukta balaga as actor/writer/backstage worker if an opportunity is given.

I am a kannadiga, but never used to see serials because same shot will be shown three to four times from different angle and serials will be like some kind of a modeling show. Actor’s don’t know acting and not even kannada properly.
But in Manthana everything is perfect acting, dialogues….Best thing is the language they use… no words to describe that.

Coming from North Karnataka, close to border Maharashtra I never had the habbit of watching Kannada Channels. My Good friend Pruthvi introduced me to this serial. Let me admit you, this is one piece (Manthana Serial) of work which I have never appreciated so much in my whole life. Its is a phenomenal serial. Too good to digest. For me it is a adavantage as it helps from getting out of kichdi North Karanataka Kannada to pure sanskrit like Kannada. The characters, plots and dialogues are wonderful, you easily tend to loose urself in that serial.
Thanks for the whole team and I really expect the huge recongnition to the team.

My emotions were never perturbed by TV media before I started watching this splendid serial Manthana. Dialogues are thought provoking with so much of prominence to our sweet Kannada and the brilliant performance of bunch of this great actors make that half an hour feel like half a second. Close to heart characters makes one feel their thoughts, pain and pleasure. Its equally superb as reading a great novel sitting on sea shores/grean paddy field/on top of green hill. A Revolutionary serial indeed. Great work done with this great service to Kannda culture Mr. Sethuram and team.

Having said so, we want to see your capacity in making others dailogues and wording unlike Sethurams. Everyone speaks like Sethuram. It is monotonous. Hope you will improve on this, atleast now.

It indeed fills me with warmth to read very thoughtful and commendable comments about manthana. Ofcourse it is one of a kind in a way the delivery of dialogue is designed. A friend out here rightly commented that the serial cannot end at 10.30 pm. It gets us thinking day in day out when we come across similar real life situations in our life !!! With due respects to Ekta Kapoor, I think a lot can be derived out of such a serial like manthana in making it such a rage, especially the quality of sentiments, emotions and the nitty gritty of relationship and its survival that are expressed, even without glamour or high melodrama !!

Manthana is a good serial. Those who condemn the serial may be as corrupt as Reddy in the serial and feel guilty to watch the serial. Sethuram has done a wonderful serial with good dialogue delivery. Besides great performance of Reddy, of late Shivaram is doing wonderful job, especially his expressions as a real cancer patient. Many talented people are coming out. After a very very long time, someone is doing a sensible serial. How many people will try to transform after watching this serial is a real question, but people with lot of principles will definitely like it. Good going, keep it up.

Chatan Raghuram, I do not agree with you. I suppose you are an immature person, who has never thought about values in life. You might be a pub crazy dirty fellow, so can not understand the sensitivity of human values. Let me know what kind of serials you like? Whilst, so may on earth like this serial and one or 2 of your ‘kind’ are not liking this means, i feel, you guys are mentally disordered and really do not have brain or have a crazy brain. I feel you are a spoilsport stupid.
Manthana is one of the nest serials produced on Indian Television Network. Because of work constraints, i am limited to see this serial, probably 2 -3 days in a week, but this is a real refresher to me. The language is so very rich, though it surprises me many a times, as every one in the serial talks such a rich Kannada.
The artists have given life to every character they have played and i am thankful to sethuram for giving such a wonderful serial, which slowly unfolds many truths of our every day life. Thanks

I am not sure if we can compare Manthana with any other serial running now or in the past. It is one-of-its-kind type serial.
This review has some interesting points. It says, the serial needs to be paused soemtimes to digest the lyrics and then unpause to continue!

Manthana is very popular. This blog not only provides you tube videos for all the daily episodes but also reviews it. It also gives a different perspective and also has critical views as well.
http://manthana-reviews.blogspot.com/2008/01/jan2nd-2007-episode-218.html#links
This review starts with some intro….
“In July 2006, when I saw Manthana first time, I was gauging the depth of the river, manthana, standing on the shores. Having seen many of the suppose-to-be-big-rivers just to be shallow streams at the end, I mis-guaged Manthana also to be a shallow stream potrayed as a river. As I went inside to feel the depth, I saw its real depth; It was much deeper than what I even imagined and much wider than what I thought. I had imagined oceans in the field of Television serials, but never saw anything bigger than stream till now. But having gone down to swim inside it, I see Manthana more like a unimaginable ocean; Wide, deep, mysterious, marvelous, mind-blowing and relishing. I enjoy every episode’s swim. I see and learn new things every time I watch it. Every time it stimulates some part of my brain which was dead and needed some strong stimulus. I feel alive now. Thanks Manthana!”

Dear all,
The Producer of manthana is very very biased and Me. Sethuram ar those Heros is peech and zeros in action. He thinks he is the only man filled with honesty and values on Earth and all are cheats.
It is really disgusting suchs erials are aired on TV, his only aim is to criticise and condemn people who are in power, who are respected. This man is very much filled with envy an zealosy, so buy indulging in such serials he will get fame and attention by negative mineded humanity and he feel great.

Manthana is a very good serial.
People who are involved in corruption for their benefit will feel bad. They will definitely give bad comment about this serial. The unique feature of this serial is Every Character has importance. All the characters have capability to think independently. No body is made as “HERO” or “Villain”. All the characters try to be “HERO’s” in their own way.
Finally and most important it is, “Sethuram” gets in to the side effects of the BLACK money(Corrupt money). Many other stories and serials show side effects of BLACK money but not in depth. Here the writer gets in to the depths of it. I appreciate this effort. In the real world also I have seen many people struggling to protect the BLACK money which they have earned. As writer says people have failed to impress their own family members.
Hats off to “Sethuram”. There should be more serials which reflect the side effects of BLACK money.

I have been watching Manthana for quite some time. After a few episodes, it was one of my old friend who commented that the dialog in this serial is superb and thought provoking which actually prompted me to start watching this serial regularly. It is a great experience to listen to the dialogs in this serial – episode after episode – which deeply stir our inner being and makes us realize the richness of our own language. The closing dialogs of last Friday’s episode – between the swamiji and his new found daughter whom he in turn acknowledges as his mother – as she helps him to realize his true self or identity which had not found its expression till then….I think this scene, acting and the dialogs are the highest fulfilling points in this serial so far….congratulations Sethuram and team…you have given us a great experience through your art and dedication….wish you all the best in your future endeavors….regards…

The very word – manthana, makes one understand the serials quality – ‘its food for thought’. At home, we watch the serial particularly for the villains statements which are 100% truth in the modern world.
The only boring point which TNS used to talk in his open house about his serials is – ‘ my characters talk like themselves and is not a script’. It is stupid to think that all characters can speak in the same monotonus, intellectual, language rich method potrayed.
Anyway its keepin us glued to the set!

While the dialogues of Manthana is the highlight, the same dialogues sometimes gets too complicated and makes it difficult for audience to understand what actually the charatcter wants to say !!!!.Maybe the language and the words used could have been little simpler for the less intellutal audience (like me) to understand.
Anyways a good serial.
Cheers

Manthana is a very good serial. I used to watch it every day from the begining. I dont understand why they are closing the serial too soon? I it because of the dialogues which is a little complicated to understand or due to any other reason?

For lack of TRP mostly manthana is seeing an abrupt end. The climax is sudden and bumpy indicating the same. THere are very few viewers who give thier suggestions to the address given at end of teleserial and guess would not have caused its end.
Overall a good serial despite tough and high usage of some words as observed by Naagesh.

Hello Misters, How do you know that Manthana is lacking TRP’s? Viewers are still high!
There was a interview of Sethuram sir in May 2007. He mentioned then itself that this will be a small serial and they would be ending somewhere about 260 episodes…..Now they are ending at 285th episode….just as planned. It was planned much long before, it was written that much itself. Stop bad mouthing Manthana. No negative point is driving to its end. Response is great.

Dear naveen,
Nobody is badmouthing the serial. It is the TOP reason why serials get jiggled or end.
TRP low ratings do NOT mean the serial is bad, also how these TRP ratings are done is a great mystery.

As said earlier, TRP’s arent driving to its end. Since start it was planned to end here itself. This is different from other serials. I liked the pre planning of script instead of going on adding it like other serials.

Though it might have been planned to end the serial, it looks like that they are trying to hurry now to end the serial. Many scenes show that the serial is being ended abruptly. I would like to clarify that I am not commenting on quality of serial, but the ending is not looking as though it was planned.

I don’t watch Kannada or Hindi series after guddada bhootha.
But I’ve to admit Manthana is one of the class series in Kannada be it in terms of story, characters, acting, emotions, dialogs etc.
I’ve complete season of this series (285 episodes). If anybody need it send me a link to upload it.

I watched one episode of this really good – pretty much on par with Muktha viewers in my family say, and even I felt. The main thing I liked is that it assumes some kind of understanding by the viewers, and there’s a lot of things on screen in terms of facial expressions and so on, that are unsaid that a viewer can observe – really excellent acting and direction.
