Tamil Tv Show Unmai

Unmai is a documentary based on the beliefs and occurrences in the villages of Tamil Nadu. A group of people visit several villages and meet the local villagers. It is produced by V. Sridharan and telecast on Makkal TV. It is a one of a kind show that explores various social and cultural issues. The hosts travel to the villages and try to investigate the strange happenings by interviewing the people. It wants to give some reasonable explanation to the bizarre incidents as well as present a very logical solution in front of the viewers.

The villagers bring before us a very different picture of Tamil Nadu, one that is full of beliefs and superstitions in a cultural and societal sphere. The villages are mostly isolated from the city and technological forms. The people living in far off places are not aware of the world outside them. Through such television shows, we come to know about their daily lives and the kind of society they have formed. They lead a simple life and firmly believe in superstitions that mostly give ages of bad luck.

These beliefs have been handed down for a hundred years from one generation to another, for hundreds of years and it is not easy to make them stop believing in it. Issues affecting their societies are also discussed and debated. Such beliefs are those that for hundreds of years have not been eradicated. The people follow them blindly and do not think of any consequences. It is not in our part to correct them, or help them but the least we can do is try to and understand them Those villagers who are interviewed are the ones that have witnessed those strange incidents first hand. Most of them are terrified of coming in front of the camera and repeat it all over again. The team from Unmai tries to find some explanation behind these so-called supernatural happenings.

Viewers who are interested in such topics will be delighted to watch this show. It brings us the very rustic life of the people before our eyes. They also expose the cultural difference between them and us. Although the language they speak is the same as ours, there is a huge gap between the kind of life we live and the kind they follow. It is a kind of show that broadens our mind and makes us question what is real and what is false.
