Villodu Vaa Nilave




Historical fiction about the King Cheralathan. Life of Tamilians, war, love is narrated in Vairamuthu s unique style. 

A little part of Chera dynasty is being narrated here with fine details of love and war. More of cliched plot where you can find all these essential parts of a war story, a character disguised, some war tricks and other such. Predictable plot! Beauty of ageless true love and this ageless language was what drove me through the book. Why should all these historical novels have a common base, why wasn't there something different. Craving to find some out of the ordinary historical fictions in tamil. Leaving this minor disappointment aside, this is one of the most beautiful tamil works to read and get a thrill out of it. When it comes to an hVairamuthu, metaphors know no limits!! I enjoyed reading this one as much as I enjoyed songs penned by him. If you scale it as historical fiction, it may not look so great still could be appraised for its tone of narration and charm of the language.
