Koffee with Suchi



It lived upto its caption “Oru Puthiya Flavour”. After starting promotions for the programme some 2 months ago, the first episode of the “Koffee with Suchi” was finally aired yesterday (29th April). Suchi had earlier mentioned in one of her interviews that she didn’t want to do any live call-in kind of programmes for which she was invited by almost all the channels (except SUN TV I guess). I think she was comfortable with such a format suggested by Vijay TV.

First things first, Suchi has come a long way from being Radio Mirchi RJ. Though she continues to be one, her appearance has improved over the past 2 years. She looks very presentable now, far far better than how she was in her film roles. Her diction of both Tamil and English and her mannerisms are refreshing and I think she’ll be another trend-setter in “chinna thirai” bringing her own style of presentation. Her smile is genuine and her spontaneous comments attract the viewers.

But there are a lot of things that the programme should improve on. First the guests - almost all Tamil channels look at bringing film stars for chat shows. Though this will be interesting for a while, I don’t think the show can sustain only with them. Anyway we have such interviews happening every Diwali, Pongal and Tamil New Year’s day. The organizers should take a cue from Vijay TV’s “Sigaram Thotta Manidhargal” and bring people from all walks of life. Moreover, proper background research should be done about the person. Questions like likes/dislikes, “ungalukku eppo kovam varum”, “ungalukku avar kitte enna pidikkum” are very cliched and need to be removed. The depth of questions and the rapport between the interviewer and the interviewee must be better than what was visible yesterday. I think Suchi is so used to hearing herself speak that she’s not a very good listener. It was very apparent and a couple of times, Nadia had to ask her to listen to Suresh. Hopefully, this will not be a problem in the future episodes. And finally, organizers need to get genuine people to talk about the guests. Suhasini claiming that both Nadia and Suresh are her closest friends and talking about both of them appeared very artificial. As a viewer, it appeared to me as if the organizers could only get hold of her to talk about the guests and she had to fake their friendship.

More than the charisma of the host, only details such as the ones above will help sustain the interest of the viewers in chat shows like these. All the best Suchi!

  2. I saw the last week’s episode. I liked it because of Crazy Mohan. Also the comments from Maadhu (about crazy) is good.

  3. Oh, I think the program is at a very wrong timeslot. I spend most of Saturday evenings out of home. So, am missing this program for weeks together.

  4. i think it is the best programme vijay tv has produced next to airtel super singer. suchitra is carrying the show very well. i wish she brings some more programmes like this instead of those stupid serials. i’d love to see ajith’s wife shalini, a.r rahman, mani ratnam, k balachander, trisha, sadhana sargam, jyothika, sri devi(old actress) and vyjayantimala in her shows
