Just went to the site – must say that the tone of the review of Vengaiyin
Mainthan shocked me. firstly its always safer to use english for the url -
else it will come like this !

Seems the reviewer credits kalki n sandilyan for historic fiction, while at
the same time lamb blasting this work for not having enough history. Not
sure what history he saw in any of sandilyan’s works. further he comments
that bulk of the book went to oodal between the hero and heroine ie 200 out
of 800 – hello, sandilyan would be 600 out of 800.
donno, what credentials are required to write such myopic reviews
