Mega-Serial goes down again

On 10-10-2006 (Tuesday) tamil mega-serial 'Selvi' reached new heights. Till the day before 10-10-2006, police department in mega-serials and movies tried to bring the truth from criminal by torture, emotion and bargain. The mega-serial has done a path breaking thing by introducing a scientific form of bringing the truth to light. Just to give give a background of the criminal charges on the character called G.J, he was arrested for abduction of a character called 'Andavar Lingam'. The police tries various methods to bring the truth. They go to the extent of giving shock treatment to G.J. Everythig is prepared for the shock treatment. But nothing pays. G.J escapes at the last moment claiming he is not feeling well and having chest pain.To add to his support the doctor checks his heart beat and declares him unfit.


Finally on 11-10-2006 (Wednesday) the breakthrough comes. G.J. is taken for another test. This time he can't escape. Beats something in your mind? Guessing what could be the test! Polygraph test (lie detector)? No. Here the it goes to the next level.They inject a truth serum in to G.J. After some time the inspector interrogates G.J. G.J accepts the fact that he is the one who abducted 'Andavar Lingam' through a professional killer called 'Pandian'. The interrogation starts and proceeds in the presence of police commissioner and everything gets videod.


Now there is hearing in the court. Police submit the results of the test with the video tape in the court. The judge asks G.J about it. Since there is no other escape, G.J accepts the crime. Suddenly 'Pandian' (the professional killer) appears in the court with 'Andavar Lingam'. Andavar Lingam claims that he wasn't abducted, but he went to kerala for ayurvedic treatment. He tells the story of why he didn't inform others about it and finally says that it is a drama played by the police inspector and the heroin Selvi.
The judge releases G.J and forgives 'Andavar Lingam' and orders departmental action against the police inspector.


Sound's interesting through some sudden turn arounds? There are some simple logical things that wasn't taken in to consideration. Though the truth serum was used to bring the truth, it didn't live up. The test results weren't considered
by the judge once 'Andavar Lingam' gives his version. Good confidence on the test!! The judge orders departmental action against the police inspector without even considering an enquiry. The other thing was the test happened in the presence of police commissioner. Nobody would have thought of it.


Though there was an occasional spike of advancement in the thinking about the truth serum, it didn't live longer, the thinking fell down again to the old style. There are also many other logic killings in all the mega-serials. But wouldn't consider it discussing; it may take more than a lifetime
