Synopsis

Gopi, a sales representative and a part-time singer at an orchestra, goes through various trials and tribulations to ensure the well-being of his family. After a roller-coaster ride, Gopi finally register marriages Surya. In pursuit of searching job, Gopi meets a Manikkavasan who unbeknownst to Gopi had married the wife of Kathiresan. Manikkavasan has made Gopi as his adopted son (as it makes him the brother of Surya whom he married). The interesting twist is Gopi had only registered his marriage with Surya but not tied the mangal sutra (which means he is married and not married).

Reception

Impact

In September 2019, there was a complaint against the content of Kalyana Veedu following which the telecaster Sun TV was fined Rs 250,000 by the Broadcast Content Complaints Council. This was in reference to one of the episodes aired in May where one of the female characters named Roja hires a criminal gang to sexually assault her own sister. She ordered the men to show no mercy on her during this preplanned assault. The gang instead of following through the plan, enact the same plan on Roja. The controversial episodes were telecast on May 14, 15 and June 28, 2019.[3]

The council, on examining the video clips based on the complaints, said in their order that the content violated the Indian Broadcasting Foundation (IBF) guidelines which bars content that glorifies violence, as well as incite or encourage viewers to obscene or indecent behaviour. A notice was issued to the channel and in their reply to the council, Sun TV and Thiru Pictures clarified and apologised to the council. The order stated that they consented to agree with their decision as well.[4]
