How bad those on kalki!!Kalki novel padikkarathuku oru rasipu thanmai vendum. I think those whoooo wants a climax as in a masala movie is not supposed to read great novels like PS And one tells that Chandaliyan is excellent in areas of sex ! Oh kadavulae if u want sex in novels go for some sex books why do u expect it in kalkiso bad of u all nay way train ur maind to read good novels!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have the same opinioin of Arun...
Its Comparing Himalayas with Antartic ocean.
Both are large enough to make us amuse.
Both having peculiarity in their writtings.
And they both don't have followers... like Barathidhasan to Barathi or somebody who even try to fulfill their place in tamil lit., world.
But Sandilyan have only one draw back that the discrbing style of his heroine. it is toooo hot.

Hii all,
i was attracted more by SANDILYAN than by KALKI because he scripts with real history while KALKI add his own stories with the history to make the story intresting.
We can see them clearly because NANDHINI is an imaginary character who has captured everyone's heart but thats the fact. Those who read History apart from stories can learn it. Similalry SIVAGAMI in SIVAMIYIN SABATHAM, who is also an imaginary character. Kalki ties the story with those imaginary characters only and if they were absent the story lack its thread.
But SANDILYAN narrates the history with historical heroes. Karunakara Pallavan (Thondaimaan) is a historical character and everyone knew about KULOTHUNGA CHOLAN who had been even to CHINA as an embassy of CHOLA kingdom. Then in YAVANNA RANI, KARIKALAN lost his reign to his kin and got back the kingdom at venniparanthali war and so only built GRAND ANNAICUT(KALLANAI), its all the fact that story is not built with imaginary characters.
Another thing everyone has said is 'sex', i accept youngsters should not be given Sandilyan's book. But his works as Seran magal, Yavana Rani, Kadal purra and few other has portrayed heroines not through sex.
KALKI is the outstanding author in historical by his thoughts and imaginations blended with history. He gives the history of cholas in PS.
but he should have narrated with historical character itself and not with imaginary characters.

Hi friends!
The art of writing historicals is a very difficult art. simply put it is the art of filling up gaps in history(due to want of facts and evidence) with imaginative guesswork and imaginary characters. Kalki, while writing Ponniyin Selvan did not have any compulsions to write a fast paced novel. He did not care about the pace of the novel(Strange even for a weekly series). Whereas Sandilyan was under the compulsion of making every episode fast paced and thrilling(weekly one episode). Strange as it may sound, though both wrote for literary magazines, Sandilyan's style was apt for Kumudam(young people's magazine). Kalki wrote for old people and kids(predominantly). So comparing them both is like comparing Michael Bevan and Rahul Dravid(Both excel in different league of cricket). Due to the fact that Kumudam patronised Sandilyan, he wrote huge no. of historicals for that magazine. Which in turn might have taken away some depth, which Kalki could impart to his 3 major historicals(Parthiban Kanavu, Sivagamiyin Sabadham adn Ponniyin selvan). In short Sandilyan's work are like paperbook novels written by James Hadley Chase, in a historical context. But very very interesting.
thanks,
Jaiganesh

Please do not compare Amarar Kalki and Sandilyan novels like Leony's pattimanram. One has to individually enjoy those author's works. I had read all the works of both of these author's works. Though I am a great fan of Sandilyan I would not like to compare the authors work and give a rating. For example if Kalki were to asked to rate Sandilyan works he would have rated better than his own works, in the same way even Sandilyan would have rated Kalkis works better than his own. This is my humble and strong opinion.
If any one wants a little more interesting information of Sandilyan e-mail me.
Please read works of other authors like Akilon,Na.Parthasarathy,Kovi Manisekaran,Jegachirpian,Somu and a lot more of them.
I had read all these authors works for about 30 years and still I continue to read again and again whenever I get a chance.

Comparing amarar Kalkis histoical novels with Chandilyans is just like comparing Maha Bhatathy
with Kavingar Kannadasan. We cannot enjoy sexual sensation in Bharathiars works but in Kavigar Kannathasans songs one can feel it .His songs with double meaning is so valger as anything and
one can enjoy sexual sensation abundantly.
Bharathiar is great . Kannadasan is also big in his own way.
AMARAR KALKI KRISHNAMOORTHY IS GREAT. CHANDILYAN IS ALSO A GREAT NOVELIST IN HIS OWN STYLE.

One of the greatest moment in Poniyin chelvan is Adhithya Karikaalan's death. According to history(Thiruvalaankaadu Cheppedu- Inscription)Karikaalan died in a lowly lit room. And still it is a mystery who killed Karikaalan. Is Vanthiathevan's jail justified(According to history)? Or is it really Paandiyar behind it. Or is it merely a power struggle between RajaRajan and Karikaalan where RajaRajan had all the support rom Kunthavi??? Who knows? But Kalki wrote it in such a way that the episodes were not contradicting the history and yet leaving room for all the other options.
Yes he is a great writer and Poniyin Chelvan is a Historical novel with timeless beauty.
