ZEE5’s “Thadayam” Series Thank You Ceremony!!
The Tamil original series “Thadayam”, which was released on February 27 on India’s leading OTT platform ZEE5, has set a record by crossing 100 million viewing minutes within a few days of its release due to the overwhelming response from fans.
Different from the crime thriller stories that are made in Tamil, this series offers an exciting and mysterious experience with the backdrop of true events, and is receiving a good response from fans and critics. The fact that it has crossed 100 million viewing minutes within a few days of its release also proves its success.
To celebrate this, the film crew met the press and media friends and thanked them for the criticism and appreciation.
On this occasion..,
Kaushik Narasimhan, on behalf of ZEE5, said…,
Generally, after the release of a series, we can see its full reception only after several weeks. But in the case of the Thadayam series, it has not even been a week, and that too two days ahead of schedule. I think this is a huge achievement.
Many series have been released on ZEE5 before. Series like Vindugam and Ayali have been well received. But compared to them, ‘Thadayam’ has reached this level of viewing minutes in a very short time. It is a huge achievement that such achievements have been made in just one week. The main reason for this achievement is the audience. This would not have happened without their support. Thank you all very much. There are many more good works to come in the future. We hope that you will continue to support it.
At the same time, I would like to thank the actors, technicians and the production team who contributed to the success of this series.
Cocktail Cinemas producer Ajay Krishna said..,
Thank you all very much for giving this level of reception to the ‘Thadayam’ series. You all have brought me and our entire team to a great honor. The technicians, actors and everyone have worked together to create this success. This is my first attempt as a producer. But I am very happy that my first attempt has become such a big success. This success was possible only because of the support of the fans. Without you, we would not be standing on this stage today.
I must thank Kaushik sir for believing that I could do this work and giving me a chance. Without his trust and encouragement, I would not have got this moment today. Similarly, I would also like to thank Kani brother who always supported me and gave me courage to move forward no matter what the problem was. His support and encouragement is the reason why I am standing here today. My heartfelt thanks to all the technicians, actors and my team who worked on this series. Thank you to everyone.
Music composer Vipin Bhaskar said..,
Hello everyone. I am very happy to celebrate this moment. While working on this series, we had a lot of pressure. However, we worked with full commitment with the intention of creating a good work. Today, when we see that the result has reached the audience, I feel it is a victory for our hard work. Our team, director, Kaushik sir, Mugil sir, producer sir from the channel were very supportive of us throughout this entire work environment, especially during the post-production and music work. Similarly, our team, lyricists, singers, musicians, everyone who worked with us were very cooperative. I think their support and hard work is the reason for this success. Thank you.
Cinematographer KK said..,
I am very happy to be standing on this victory ceremony stage. My heartfelt thanks to everyone for making my first stage experience a victory ceremony. I must thank Ajay sir and the director for giving me this opportunity. It was because of them that I got the opportunity to join this series. Likewise, the director and the entire team were very supportive of me. Thank you to everyone who worked for this success.
Editor Dinesh Kumar said..,
When we started working on this series, director Naveen Anna gave us the script and asked us to read it first. After reading it, we felt that it would be very interesting for the fans. It is very happy that this series has received a great response as we had thought. Thank you to Naveen Anna for giving us this opportunity. My heartfelt thanks to him for not going alone even when big opportunities came, but for taking us along. Similarly, I would like to express my gratitude to Ajay sir, Saravanan sir, our assistant directors and the entire team who were supportive in this series. Thank you.
Director Naveen Kumar Palanivel said..,
This success was due to the support of many people. Especially Kaushik sir.
He was a great support to us right from the beginning. He was always in touch with us at all times — even at night — and gave us advice and played a key role in bringing this project to this point. Kaushik sir is one of the main reasons for this success. Similarly, everyone from the ZEE5 team, including Mugil sir, was always supportive. Also, Kani Anna was very supportive and was a major reason for this project to be a success.
I would like to thank my entire team who worked with me. I would like to express my gratitude to both the music director and KK sir. Music was a great strength in many important moments in this series. Likewise, my heartfelt thanks to all the supporting actors, technicians and my team who worked with us. We had to complete this project in a short time frame — about 20 days. So sometimes I may have been harsh. I apologize to everyone for that. However, I thank you all for completing this project with great dedication. If there are any shortcomings, I will try to correct them in the next projects and work even better. My heartfelt thanks to everyone.
Actor Rajkiran Das said..,
Hello everyone. I am very happy with this level of reception. I really did not expect this. My heartfelt thanks to everyone who participated in this series, including Kaushik sir, Naveen, Ajay Sharma, Kani sir. For the past week, compliments have been coming in from many parts of Tamil Nadu. Also, my thanks to the media friends who have been continuously supporting this series and all the fans who have taken it to the people on social media.
Writer and actress Kotravai said..,
The web series ‘Thadayam’ was a huge opportunity for me. I am grateful to director Naveen Kumar and ZEE5 for giving me that opportunity. I have faced many obstacles due to my skin color and appearance. But this character gave me a lot of hope. My special thanks to Naveen Kumar for giving me the opportunity to act in this role with a different twist. The faith he placed in my performance has also given me a lot of courage. This opportunity has given me the confidence that I can act well. Thank you to all the media friends who are here.
Mr. Alagan Tamilmani spoke..,
My dear brothers and sisters journalists… I am one of you. My life began with you. Many who worked with me in the early days are still brothers today. I express my heartfelt gratitude to all of you who have supported me since the beginning of my life.
I am very happy to see my son on this stage today. I did not directly make him a producer. I thought that he should learn from the bottom of the cinema from the beginning, and I first made him act in my serials. Only after that did I raise him to become a producer. My heartfelt congratulations to my son Ajay Krishna, who has grown to this point today without any help due to his own efforts.
When I was sitting at home watching the ‘Thadayam’ series, it did not seem like a web series to me. It felt like a movie. I woke up only after watching it to the end, curious about what was going to happen next. The director’s talent, the cinematographer’s work, and the editor’s work were so good. My heartfelt thanks and congratulations to the entire team who made this series a film.
I am not new to the small screen. I have the honor of being one of those who started the afternoon mega series with the series ‘Mangai’ in 1999 itself. The small screen is what raised me. It was only because I earned in the small screen that I was able to pay off the debts incurred on the big screen. I feel indebted to that small screen for the rest of my life. I have also sent my son on the same path. I request you all to participate in his journey and support and encourage him. Thank you.
Actor Prem said..,
The experience of working in this series is very fulfilling for me. This was a great opportunity for me. My heartfelt thanks to Ajay sir and Naveen sir for giving me that opportunity. While working on this series, they treated me not just as an artist but as their brother. I am very grateful for that. I also express my gratitude to everyone who acted with me, including Annan Kani and Annan Raja. I hope this team will continue to create many good works. Thank you.
Actor Samuthirakani said..,
Every mind keeps yearning for a fulfillment. ‘Thadayam’ brings that fulfillment very deeply into the mind and gives the feeling of having fixed many things. That is the joy of this success. I have directed almost 3000 episodes on the small screen.
I have. But on that journey, I rarely get the opportunity to hear such sincere praise. I am very happy to have received that recognition today.
This entire creation was born out of the trust I placed in Kaushik. He, Ajay, Naveen, KK sir and many others are the main reasons for this success. Everyone’s hard work has brought this success. The recognition a child gets from a father is a great thing. I am proud and happy that Ajay has received that recognition so soon.
Thank you to everyone who worked for this success. I hope this success will not stop here and take us far. Let’s meet again and again with many more successes and share this happiness. Thank you.
