Randaamoozham is one of the book that lead to revolution in Malayalam novals .It is a book written by the renowned writer M T Vasudevan Nair . M T vasudeven is known for his different way for interpretation of historical myths . His stories are written in a different perspective from the veiw of antiheroes or sub heros . He also known for the same type of writing he done in Oru Vadakkan Veeragadha .
We can say Randaamoozham is remaked version of one of the most popular books and amile stone book of belief of Hinduism Mahabharatha . It is a very long tale of romance , war , brotherhood and history . In original Mahabharata the leading characters that felts herotic where Arjuna and Karna . But in Randaamoozham . M T Vasudevan has took a herotic step by writing from the perspective of Bhima , who is the brother of Arjun . He describes beautifully with maximum originality the emotional struggle of a husband in Bhima which was not seen in the original Mahabharatha .
The war scenes are well described and thrilling . The characters like Khadolghajan who are described as a negative character in the original Mahabharata are different in Randaamoozham. The death of Abhimanyu ( son of Arjuna ) and Khadolkhajan ( son of Bhima) can make you emotional .
Even though you have read Mahabharata , you will be thrilled to read the twists and turns in the story . In different from the Mahabharata , the characters don't have any supernatural powers . they are described as humans . It is a must read for every book lovers.
The book title name Randaamoozham means the Second turn . Which represents in lot of amorphic ways . Like the second return for glory , or bhima s' second turn for his shared wife panjali . Even though it glorifys the war . In the end from the sense of bhima , M T Vasudevan clearly proclams war only gives pain .
It is the most thrilling , romantic , well written historical noval I have ever read .
