Rose snubs critic

Now you will understand why who's a critic was the previous post. Ippadikku Rose will be telecasting its fourth episode tomorrow. Meanwhile in a public forum Rose snubbed a mailer who wrote the earlier episode was so so . Her reply is as follows.

"Talking about controversial and socially tabooed subjects on TV that reaches to millions of people is like walking on a tight rope. There are numerous groups waiting out on the street considering themselves as police conserving morality and culture. Kushboo is running from court to court for making a statement that she has the absolute right to in a country that, at least on paper, gives the right to freedom of speech. I don't want to attract the attention of the self-appointed moral police. So my show has very sensitive limits. I am walking gradually towards a lot more openness. If the show is not up to your mark, you may look for a more open show. Or better still, please go ahead and produce your own open show and i will be very happy to watch it. Good luck"

IN the same forum there were many mails appreciating her performance as well. One of them is as follows[ without any editing]
I would like to appreciate your style of hosting the show.

"I just happened to watch one episode of your program on 03/13/08.
(Frankly speaking i had no intentions of watching that as i had these foll. thoughts in mind:-
Program time is 10:00 pm and It is hosted by a transgender and also program is about a sex worker. so this program would be another mid-night masala program. )

But it grabbed my attention in no time and i ended up watching the whole program despite the irritating advertisements.

Here below are some of the positives of the program.

1. You bringing the problems in legalising Sex-work like Spoiling culture, Break-up in marriage and stuff. I truly appreciate the way you conduct the show without defending the guests.

2. Your back-ground knowledge in the subject matter. I was wondering the way you threw the statistics about 90,000 sex workers in tamil nadu.

3. Your boldness in bringing vidya and make her to speak (I cant say the same about Nalini as she is already a known figure in the media).

Here below are some of the suggestions.
1. Please change the time in which the program is telecasted. It is surely not a titilating masala program. Please talk to the creative head to change the time.
2. Reduce the no. of commercial breaks. Please make the viewer atleast the discussion is on for a more time than the time spent of advertisements. If we could not compromise on the revenue of the program, let us show the no-commercial version of the program in the re-telecast sometime in the weekend."

We rated her earlier episode as 5/10 but we do not intend to produce a similar show nor watch some other program. Nevertheless sympathizing with her, we feel it is too early to pass a judgement. The program is slowly picking up and preview of tomorrow's show looks promising.
