Tamil Novels

I just finished Raja Muthirai (ராஜ முத்திரை) part 1 by Sandilyan . This will be my third tamil historic novel, first ofcourse being Ponniyin Selvan. Raja Muthirai kind of starts slow , moves slower,but towards the end it is very gripping . The way Sandilyan builds up the events is nice.Sandilyan's novels have much more romance factor than Kalki's and that is good, he does a great job without sounding obscene. He is also good in describing the war scenes ,bringing it alive in our imagination. I have always wondered why tamil historic novels , however grand they are , how much ever successful they are never became equally grand and successful in big screen. Atleast now with the kind of animation expertise , it is possible. Ponniyin Selvan is being filmed as tele serial for kalaignar TV now ,see link. I don't know how grand that can be , there are hell lot of discussions about who will suit which role in orkut community. I am not sure how well a movie or serial can live upto the expectation of the readers , but 3D animation can be good. How about a 3D strategy game based on these novels?Well thats kind of asking too much .

This is easily the best movie for Dhanush.I have seen both telugu(forgot the name) and tamil versions ,unlike the normal telugu-to-tamil remakes ,in this one, the tamil version is better.More logical,more apt screenplay and lively actors .Specially Nayantara's younger sister,as far as i know everyone just loved the character, it was a big low light in telugu. Atleast I have watched the scene where she says 'I think in love with Vasu akka' thousand times(Btw what is her name ? and has she acted in anything else?) .Both Dhanush and Nayantara have done a good job, somehow trisha didn't gel well with the role in telugu.There is nothing great about the story though , the movie starts like anyother Selvaraghavan movie, with good-for-nothing hero falling in love with heroin at first sight , as expected heroine have absolutely no feeling at all(atleast thats what the hero thinks) and gradually she too falls in love with him .The only difference is that this one has a happy ending. Few songs are good, but reminds of some other old songs , i am no expert in figuring these things out, i can hardly remember a line of lyrics unless I 'see' the lyrics.

P.S : I am posting this just to see how windows live writer is, and it is as everyone says Awesome.
