Dear Venkat Those were just points which I thought I should highlight....which can be amended
Like wise you are becoming a bit Judgemental at places like Balakumaran...like describing the Pandya Kingdom....we dont know the actual impact...
It was nt untill Rajendras period that Srilanka came completely under Cholas till then Rohanam was free
To me I agree with Satish...Kandamaran is a reluctnat hero...it feels you made him a hero and thrust things on him....The first 60 pages can definitely be crisper because all that hapens there is like action replays ....
KM(kandmaran) btw is he KM or PS?? if it is KM then should he not be Kollidam Maindhan!!
the two trips he makes are futile he stmbles on the treasure thanks to loga....so where was his valour and achievement???
periya palluvettarayar was once the chief of velakarapadai but they always have a chief as they are the elite gaurds
theres a great debate in this group regasrding Kalki's potrayal of Nadhinis parent hood 9was it Veerapandiyan or was it his predecessor who fathered the twins.
the da vinci code was good but as I said earlier doesnt really fit
I think you have actually belittled Aniruthar and Rajendra by making him state that someone in the future will claim this victory as his....
I presume you havent read Vengaiyin Mainthan....which focuses on the retreival of rathnaharam and construction of GKC interestingly its a older and wiser VD who helps Ilango during this venture.....
(different authors have different viewpoints Kannimadam and Chola Nila looked at the same events ie Pandyas bringing Srilankan generals to help fight Cholas)
The magic of aditha Karikalans avi could be suttler you can make it suttle that aorm and voice because then you engage the non belivers in a debate and Karuvurar and Idumban episode again i didnt think jelled well
I agree agian with one of the members where is 4 and 5 baecause the story ends in a sudden end....like mahabharat ended....
To me the real Hero of the story is Ravidasan because he is the one who always gets what he wanted and has the last laugh.... Thirumali desrves his credit yet again Ravidasan and Vanathi outshine all others Uthamar and Poonguzhalis charectorisation are great
the rest of the charectors just drop a great notch...
Kundavai as selfish and arrogant with herhusband cliaming Women change after marraige VD sounds more like Veetota mappilai Koundamani mostly(I think its done to add milage to KM's valour) PS this is the charecector who suffers most....He fights because he is scared he will loose his valour??he flees his home when the person he desrires is in love with someone else leaving his wife and kids below...yes he turns up in the end....but this was the greatest king to ever rule tamil kingdom.....mmm hard pill to swallow
