🌸 Story of Harichandanam
At the heart of Harichandanam is the touching story of Uma and Unnimaya, two sisters raised by their father Pothuval, a respected Kathakali artist. Having lost their mother at a young age, the sisters grow up facing financial struggles while trying to build better lives.
Uma is a soft-spoken young woman approaching marriage, whereas Unnimaya is courageous, ambitious, and determined to overcome every obstacle that comes her way.
Their lives take an unexpected turn during a temple festival. A series of incidents involving Unnimaya’s friend Hafiz introduces Mahadevan, a police sub-inspector whose appearance dramatically changes the family’s future. What initially seems like a rescue soon develops into a series of difficult challenges that test Unnimaya’s courage and resilience.
Meanwhile, Unnimaya’s musical talent earns recognition when singer Niranjan appreciates her songwriting and offers her an opportunity in the film industry. At the same time, family pressures, dowry demands, and social expectations create further hardships for Uma and their father.
As the story progresses, Harichandanamexplores themes of family values, sacrifice, women’s empowerment, and the courage required to overcome adversity.

nice serial…i like 2 see this….mainly i like mahadevan…he z very handsome…..i like him very much…gud acting….so keep going with mahadevan…also sujitha…only becse of this serial i bcme a very big fan of him…
so keep going….
I have watched new serial..but the same time iam very sorry to say that sometimes boring and no contirnuty in this one.. i hpe pick up this one.. 2 days shots in the same place atleast change dress code and uma sometimes boring and over acting…very boring…so we are not discourange u only our feeling pass..
very boring and stupid. you know in India you rarely see women put up with this kind of mens vulgar play.so you can see what american women think about the show. we do cleaning. pray. eat during the show instead of watching it. please change the story or put some brave women like glory,seema to this show and make an end to the crying winey women show.
it is a shame for the auther and the director of the show to cont. the story like this. the show is rude to the women .we Indianwomen are ashamed of the story. shame shame again to the director. I guess he is biju devaraj shame again .we women are proud of being an Indian women. If it was done to me or any other women mahadevans samanam would have been chopped off now why unnimaya is not doing it .oh I know stupid director will not let you do it .why unnimaya agreed for this part. shame on unnimaya. where did that thandapadi went leaving the daughter alone. what kind of father is he.why unnimaya agreed to act this part. it is shame for your sister who is a good actress.
finally unnimaya was brave for few minutes and then it disappeared.one thing we noticed the director has no clue what he is doing with the show.the director in his show disrespecting two honarable professions. the police officer and the swami. both should be models to the children and the parents and behave normal.for the first time mahadevan wore his uniform in this show. before that he was tracking stupid unnimaya.why she is not going to the vanitha commition.vishnu is the only normal person in that show. Mr Sreekandan Nair you should screen the shows you show in asianet or really wrap up this show and start a new funny family story to respect the viwers so they can relax and enjoy the show with their families on their free times.also I noticed that there is nothing wrong with ummas hands why cant she feed herself or put the vicks for her husband all he has to do was to pull the chair and sit near her instead of beating her. I am glad vishnu is taking some steps to change the story.another thing is these kind of motherinlaws are out of the house now a days ,not the daughterinlaw.this happened in 18th century
harichandam is the worst serial i hv evr seen.wenevr i see the character mahadevan i feel lyk smashing his nose,nw pls dnt say that it is the success of dat character.wat kind of a story is dis? seeing dis v gt a feeling dat only evil can win… evn d heroine has no voice,though it was supposed to be a heroine oriented serial…
Really boaring serial. Atleast we never expect this type of serial form Baiju Devaraj. Casting is really bad. Who can imagine Sujitha as a girl of 23 years and Uma as a 27 year old? Sujitha seems 27+ and Uma 30+. Mahadevan is Ok. But some logical mistake also there. How can a poor family offer 450 pawan of Gold? If we calculate this with current market value… no i cannt. Mr.Director please give care while casting
SUJITH IS SO BORING.VERY OLD.AND ALWAYS WELLDRESSED.WHEN MAHADEVAN ATTACKING ALSO SHE IS OVER MAKEUP.IN TAMIL SHE CAN ACT OVER MAKEUP.ATLEAST YOU CAN TIE YOUR HAIR PLEASE.
please,baiju devraj, try not to make it a bore by making it a mega mega serial like’ ENTE MANASAPUTHRI’.I stopped watching ‘parijatam’.It is such a bore that I have lost my interest in seeing it.
HC has to be power oriented serial becoz its surrounded onli by unnimaya…she has to be a strong character..she has to fight for live onli not else.in this centhry can we see a girl like unnimaya ,an educated girl.?this s ashamme of complete women in the world..As niranjan,, she s also a gud singer….u r not showing her talent …she can be famous with her singing only…u have to make unnimaya a strong character…
i really love to see Harichandanam..
all of them who act Unnimaya, Niranjan, Kalyani, Venkidi, Droupadi and all others are really good. a beautiful serial….
pls dont shw god advertise ment for harichandanam serial,because am belive that god very much u not shabarimala ayyapan song and ayyappan photo.am seeing serial that is good serial. not again shw ok
So u r taking Harichandanam in the same direction
as Manasaputhri? Looks like u don’t any new story
to tell other than not letting the Protagonist
(Niranjan) marry Unnimaya. Unnimaya is no
different from the character Sophi in
Manasaputhri……..the same weeping idiot and
always loosing to the villi Rose/Glory. How
pathetic. Now that u hv prime time slots in
Asianet…….I can forsee fewer TRPs if ur serial
progresses in this way. Looks like experimenting
is not ur cup of tea but following the beaten
track. Just for ur information I don’t think now a
days women are as gullible as potrayed by the
character Unnimaya but rather bold and can make
out the difference betweeen good and bad. I
think I am going to quit watching Harichandanam
serial too as its become too melodramatic and
senseless sacrifice……………..Why would
foolish woman decide to give up her love of her life
into the hands of a selfish woman like Rose, only for a
flourishing music career of her love…………what about the
child……should it be called a bastard? Oh God
has virtues diminished from our current society?
Pathetic!!!!

ഹരിചന്ദനം സീരിയല് കഥ നല്ലതാണു. എങ്കിലും ഒരുപാടു ചേര്ച്ചയില്ലായ്മ
അതിലുണ്ട്. സ്വാമിയാര് Madham , ഉണ്ണിമായ അണിഞ്ജിരിക്ക്കുന്ന താലി, വെങ്കിടി
സ്വാമി ഇവയൊക്കെ, തമിഴ് ബ്രഹ്മിന്സിന്റെയാണ് .മുറ്റത്ത് കോലം ഇടുന്നതും തമിഴ് ബ്രാഹ്മിന്സ് ആണ്. പിന്നെന്തിനാണ് നമ്പൂതിരി ആയി പറയുന്നത് ?

പിന്നെ, സീരിയല് ഇപ്പോള് ബോറിംഗ് ആയിത്തുടങ്ങി. ഇത്രയും ആളുകള് റോസിന്റെ തെമ്മാടിത്തരം അടിമയെപോലെ സഹിക്കുന്നതിന്റെ പരിധി കഴിഞ്ഞു. Kathayanenkilum എവിടെയെങ്കിലും ഒരു logic വേണ്ടേ ?. ഉച്ച മുതല് എല്ലാ സീരിയലും കാണുന്ന എന്റെ അമ്മ പോലും ഇന്നലെ TV ഓഫ് ചെയ്തു
കളഞ്ഞു. പ്ലീസെ. Don’t test our patients much more
The most ridiculous stupidity in this serial is Unnimaya’s pregnancy which has been extended beyond ten months,as it is impossible to think that all these things been happened in this short period since Nranjan,s marriage and even when we consider the events day by day as serial shows ,it already completed more than one year..is that baby still there,because there is no sign for it.please make sure glamour is second to reality and please don’t extend the pregnancy until the serial finishes.
Harichandanam is getting bored now a days. now not showing mahadevans family matters….its the time to come uma back.director story is simply getting bored. show something different or miracle in this story.
can’t u plzzzzzzzzz stop dis serial……….its been sooooooooooo boring…..repeating the same story again & again which doesn’t have any meaning to the story……please don’t spoil the name of good actors acting in this serial……….if a serial is shown for short period of time with good story, it will be remembered by the audiences for ever……but this is too much…..please stop harassing us like this…….
I have watched the first 2 episodes of the serial. Looks okay. Seems it will take some more time to pickup.
