Great Story and Casting

[shiva-lotr · 10/10 · 30 July 2019]

I remember in my childhood waiting every week to see new episodes and here i am back to my childhood watching Marmadesam. This has an awesome story what today's Tamil serials are lacking. Every episode is filled with emotions, fun and other things that keep you on the edge of your seat. 10/10 would recommend.

Marvelous series

[parthibanemails · 10/10 · 30 July 2019]

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.

Epic Tamil serial

[gopikrishnan-40428 · 10/10 · 30 July 2019]

I cherish each and every episode of this epic Tamil serial. Taking me to my childhood days!

Thank you Kavithaalayaa! 🙏🏼

Vidaathu Karuppu-Marmadesam

[t-92793 · 10/10 · 30 July 2019]

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.

Story narration and creativity

[seedups · 10/10 · 30 July 2019]

Well this series is enigmatic, intriguing with each character carefully crafted and directed to perfection.sound engineering and camera work is too notch.

90's favourite thriller series😍🐎

[archr-61320 · 10/10 · 30 July 2019]

One of the my favourite and best thriller series in 90's. Every Wednesday , when clock strikes 9pm , all family members will assemble in front of TV.

Each and every episode is suspenseful,creates curiosity , best thriller. Each characters are unique . When I do something wrong, my mom used to threaten me that "karuppu will punish you".😁

I will say 90's get scared to do wrong things in childhood when they hear "vidadhu karuppu" 😂😂 Do watch it guys.. I love it more than stranger things, the dark.. all other series😊😊

The best Thrilling series of all time...

[sivanpalani · 10/10 · 30 July 2019]

Marmadesam...vidathu Karuppu is one of the best Thrilling series..I highly recommend every one should watch it...and #kavithalaya add subtitles in English...

Very good web series but encourages superstitions!!

[chennaiarun2007 · 7/10 · 25 August 2019]

It is a pretty good serial having good characters and scenes. But the lighting and production were not good for some series like Sorna Rekhai. Overall quite good and having pretty decent technical aspects like lighting and camerawork. But the series encourages some superstition based habits. Vidhathu Karuppu is based on a book called "Vittu Vidu Karuppa" so I can't complain much about the promotion of some superstitions in the serial/series. I liked Yenthira Paravai and Vidhatha Karuppu for its presentation style.

Brilliant narration!!

[sriramthestranger · 9/10 · 25 October 2019]

Every episode consists of 2 parts - "Andru" (Past) and "Indru" (Now) where events in the past keeps you guessing the current events happening in the village. Technically brilliant cinematography that keeps you in awe. The beauty of the series lies in the reasoning behind the mysteries of village. While Reena tries to disprove the existence of "Karuppusamy" through logical reasoning, her mentor believes in the same as an Act of God. The ending justifies both the factions of audience through its masterpiece narration. A worthy watch on YouTube!!!

Verithanam enbadhu Yadhenil

Marmadesam: Vidaathu Karuppu

[santhosh-10290 · 8/10 · 10 November 2020]

Good series. Everybody acted well in the movie. BGM in the series was excellent. The series was so interesting and thrilling. The series somewhat bored and lagged at some episodes. Good series.

Nice thriller and mystery series from 90s

[anandarajmpec · 10/10 · 3 August 2019]

My favourite series from childhood. I really enjoy the thriller and mystery genre of this series. Each episode tells the story in 2 parts: past and present. The characterization of all characters are very good especially the antagonist

Masterpiece!

[selvakg · 10/10 · 1 August 2021]

Stunning story which narrated very well! Whole TamilNadu state (India) get stunned during the climax 🔥 Real Twist!🔥

Cult classic.

[inderjithg · 10/10 · 26 August 2019]

One of the finest film making . Each and every clear cut details from sound design to camera angels. This one is a classic. Needs much more international acclaim.

Super b serial forever

[mariharine · 10/10 · 3 December 2020]

Superb serial my family members will watch this serial

Classic

[rafeeqrajac · 10/10 · 30 June 2020]

Worth watching excellent ending intense and gripping story with excellent plot twist

Illogical Ending..

[aswattama · 7/10 · 22 December 2020]

This series was largely good on its depiction of Village spirituality and its belief, authentic setting, great camera work and energetic pace. Therefore, my complaint is largely on its ending.

The story starts with Dr.Ratna failing to express love for Dr.Aravind due to fear of Karuppa's wrath. But the end doesn't disprove Karuppa's existence but rather its reverse.

Therefore, it would have been logical for Dr.Rathna to walk away from Dr.Aravind rather than reciprocate his love.

Thus, the drift of this subplot illogically goes against the grain of main plot without rhyme or reason. That is my main grouse.

Devadarshini's over the top acting irritated often.

Rest was great.

No words to Express my towards the serial.

Best in all times !

[balajiselvas-38026 · 10/10 · 3 August 2019]

Marmadesam: Vidathu Karuppu is one of the most anticipated serial with fresh story plot telecasted in 1990's . Great writing and Execution have made this serial stand high even today. I personally haven't seen such a making in any other serials over the past years or even today. Vidathu Karuppu gives an unique experience for viewers.

In Simple Words: This is a Refreshing Treat for all ages and all times. This serial feels fresh when watched even after 20 years from now.
