No lover of the Tamil classics can risist being, inspired by SILAPPATHIKARAM. One amongst the Five Fine classics of Tamil Literature. Ilango’s magic touch makes every position of this engrossing Epic no true to nature that when one is reading, SILAPPATHIKARAM, he is taken to ancient Tamilagam, with all the Pageantry alive, Nature’s beauty laid before us, a veritable panorama of events and a parade of different types, and all pulsating with life-with brilliance all around.
It is most appropriate that THAMBIKARUNANITHI should give us SILAPPATHIKARAM in his own inimitable diction and under the caption POOMPUKAR for his command over the Tamil Language and his mastery over the art of portrayal, so well-known and so well appriciated, gives him sit enough tight to render SILAPPATHIKARAM in the dramatic form-keeping the high standard of diction intact and at the same time embellish it with certain interpretations of events so as to offer logical explantions to some of the events that appear to us being inexplicable, may even unwanted.
