Star Vijay,a trend setter in terms of content and presentation in its shows, seems to have succumbed to pressure of sensationalism and playing to the gallery.
That a Channel which has introduced  Class shows like ‘Naiyaandi Durbar’ Satire Show,Talk shows like the running ‘Neeya Naana‘,Entertaining Reality Shows like ‘Super Singer’,’Jodi No 1′, and ‘Coffee with Anu‘ has decided to telecast a show on Rebirth is regrettable.
Reincarnation and Rebirth are serious subjects where no final word has been said.
In fact it’s very existence is being questioned.
If the channel has produced a show that is informative or purely fictional. it is welcome.
Now Star-Vijay is hosting a show on Sundays and Saturday evenings( Saturdays is a re run, I presume) entitled ‘Mun Jenmam’
This show is hosted by Actor Ajay Rathnam.
A VIP(?) is called and a Doctor(?) is present,the Doctor takes the VIP to his/her past Lives by Hypnosis and declares the past lives of the one who under goes under Hypnotic Regression.The participant is asked to comment,video clippings of the Hypnosis session are shown in between.
And the show goes on.
Two Episodes have already rolled.
In the first one TV actor,Venkat is the VIP.
He was taken to his past lives(!),and he had added his contributions to the show by saying about his experiences, which would make one wonder how a grown up can mouth such a script.
The Doctor asserts that Venkat had been muslim in his past two births at least and he was once a warrior in China and at another time he was a Muslim Scholar in Iraq.
All these things were revealed during Hypnotic Trance,( As a  Hypnotist, I can assert that he was not under trance-his eye and body movements ,his speech betrayed the fake trance)
The Doctor also asserted the visitor’s present life is compensating his past life’s sins, which are minimal and he is advised to be more oriented to his Family as in his earlier births he had not paid attention to his family life.
I do not know how one can stand all this, least of all the producer.
I wish people do not meddle with serious issues like Rebirth in such a frivolous manner.
Not only does it do injustice to the Subject but brings discredit to Star-Vijay as a clean and class entertainer whose programmes are copied by other channels.

Do you think other programmes are good and sensible .’Neeya Naana’ is now exceeding privacy limits . ‘Super Singer ‘ is also exceeding limits with singers doing a lot of make -ups and even 60 + parents doing a ‘tappan koootthu ‘.They should limit to singing and not dancing with make-ups ..
In fact I have bolgged on the same topics you mention.I would blame the parents.
In some cases the parents’ behavior is bordering the obscene.
Neeya Naana has its finer points.
if there is excess, it is the Narcissistic tendencies of the participants.
Thank you
All such Past Life Regression Therapies are big money spinners these days.
.I saw one such programme in Hindi & I was just not impressed. It is just like Lie Detector Test under Inj Pentothal Sodium..You blabber out in a trance which may not have any truth in it. No wonder courts do not accept it
Such TV shows are good for gosssip value Pl. do not take it seriously !!
my mun jenmam details
Details?
Hi intellectual,
you have no option except accepting it like we all accept the voice or message going out of cell phone and pinpoint other end cell phone receives it. if this is told by a scientist 50 years ago, our muppaattans would not believe it. our present body cells and many inherrent habbits are heriditary from our ancesters, so you will not beleive so easily. If i say that your father had a grand father but, your grand father didnot had a grandfather… will you accept? Why watch regularly and start comparing the events with Vedhas explination.
First let me tell you that I am not an intellectual nor do I pretend to be one.
If one were to carefully read what I have written it would be clear that I have stated that what Mun jenmam portrays in the programme is absolute non sense and the programme is making a mockery of Rebirth.
I have not stated any where that I do not believe in Reincarnation nor the Theory in false.
I pray that I write good English so that People can understand what I write.
My family and I really liked this program… we were very much intrigued. If you see it with an open mind you could even get answers to some of the questions in our own lives. On the whole we found the program to be of good taste.
Do not agree with the comments made on this blog at all, but I guess everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
Thank you.
