Summary of RC/JS/CB/UB/KJ novels

Glad that it helps. Thanks!
This thread is also useful to me as a collection of stories I have read/liked. I read a lot of books but I rarely remember the titles. I have downloaded novels many times and then realized that I've already read the story. So I hope it helps people like me

 

Novel: Kannile anbu irundhal
Author: JS
Synopsis:
I really liked this story, but I think it is hard to summarize it well. It has many characters and sub-plots, so I will try and stick to the main plot. So that way, you will find unknown story bits when you read the story. The characterizations are done well.
The heroine Ilakiya (such a beautiful tamil name, but looks odd with English spelling) is beautiful, fair skinned and well educated. Her parents arrange her marriage with Manivasagan. He is rich but very dark skinned, not college educated, has a huge family to support and runs a bunch of grocery stores. She does not think he is a good match, but is forced by her parents.
On their wedding night he asks, just to fill the silence, if she liked him. She stuns him by crying and says that he should have asked before the wedding. He asks her to sleep on it and discuss in the morning.
She realizes that she spoke without thought, that he did nothing to deserve this and that she should try to make good of their life together. But Manivasagam does not think he could live with someone who had to compromise and accept him. So he decides to keep the marriage going until his sisters and her sisters are married. Then he promises to give her a divorce and even find someone suitable for her.
The story goes from there and builds scenarios after scenarios where she comes to truly appreciate her husband and his family. There is not a single moment where she suddenly falls in love. She realizes that he had to quit school to take over family business, how he single handedly grew his business, how he takes care of his family, how loving he was but strict if needed, how well respected he was. As time goes, she realizes that she rarely notices his skin color or other flaws that seemed huge before. Character and behavior take precedence over appearance.
Manivasagan's brother Sundar is also a fun character. He falls in love with Ilakiya's sister - Iniya. However Manivasagan opposes the marriage. He does not want to complicate things when he knows that he will separate from Ilakiya. By this time, Ilakiya realizes that she was foolish in the beginning. She declares that she never wants a divorce. But Manivasagan simply says that it is a bad timing. He does not want to spend his life in doubt wondering if she compromised again so her sister's love would succeed.
The story then turns into an ego struggle between the two that is resolved by some family intervention.

The rest of the story is Sindhu's re-entry to Venkat's house, the relationship between the two and the final clearing of the misunderstanding.

Rating: Average story but written well enough to read till the end.

Disclaimer about my rating: I am not a big fan of stories where the characters are estranged because they do not discuss their issues. In reality, most people would say what is on their minds, at least out of anger or just to blame, if for no other reason. In the end of this story, her husband readily gives his reason for abortion as soon as she tells her reason for separation and all is well. If she had asked his reason in the first chapter, there would be no story I am sure many wouldnt care about this issue. These stories are for relaxing and like others I also accept many unrealistic things but unfortunately this particular issue has turned into my pet peeve. Other than this, the story was fine.

 

Novel: Vethamadi Nee Enakku
Author: UB
Synopsis:
Soundharya is a bold and outgoing girl. Her first meeting with Pradeep is a clash. She would help an elderly women on the road when his car hits her. She speaks harshly to him. She then sees him in her friend's wedding. She realizes that he was responsible for the wedding and that the other day he was going in a hurry to help another one of her friends. So, she starts thinking favourably about him, but never meets him again.
In the mean time, she comes to know about her grandmother she never met. Her mom and dad did love marriage and hence her mom was disowned by her family. Her grandmother had died and had left all her wealth to Soundharya. She had also left Soundarya her house, even though her grandson Jeeva lives there. Her grandmother had written Soundarya a letter saying that Jeeva treated her badly and hence she does not want to leave the house to Jeeva. She also requests that she does not discuss this with others.
Soundarya goes to her grandmother's place. She meets Pradeep there as Jeeva's friend. Pradeep manages her grandma's factories. Pradeep thinks that Soundharya is very money minded, since she came only when money became hers and never before. In spite of this, he is attracted to her and they end up married.
After wedding, he asks her to give her grandmother's house to Jeeva, since she had already inherited a lot and also since Jeeva grew up in that house. This starts the whole trouble. She refuses to give the house and refuses to say why. He accuses her of being greedy. Things go downhill from there. They torture one another, do and say things to hurt one another, she starts to take over her factory and behaves in such a way that makes her look more greedy. After too much drama, Pradeep realizes that Jeeva is bad and that Soundharya is not greedy and they live happily ever after.

Rating: Poor in my opinion. This story was the turning point to make me dislike stories where characters do not sit down and discuss their problems. The grandmother's secret is not strong enough that the heroine should choose to ruin her marriage for it. In addition to that, she makes it worse with constant fights with the hero. I was too irritated by the heroine. She behaves very badly with her husband, tortures him and herself for no good reason. But in the end, he says 'Vethamadi nee enakku'!!!. LOL. Unbelievable

Rating: Average+

 

Novel: Sandhitha Velayil
Author: ChitraBala
Synopsis:
Sanjana falls in love with Prem when she was a young girl. Prem is amused by this infatuation and slowly finds that he is also attracted to her, but keeps his thoughts to himself. She is frustrated by his lack of response and tries to make him jealous. He is finally pushed to his limits and on impulse he shouts out his marriage proposal. She doesn't hear it but her relative does. Her relative talks to him privately and says that Sanjana is too young to think of marriage. He agrees to wait and pushes Sanjana away from him. She is really heartbroken and decides to never marry and focuses on her studies.

After many years, Sanjana still refuses to marry and decides to go to a job. She interviews at a big company but in the end finds out that it is Prem's company. Prem is thrilled that she is back in his life. However she acts very coolly towards him and he is plagued by doubts. He sees that Sanjana has become a beautiful, matured, well educated woman. He had always loved her but is worried that she would have overcome her childish infatuation.

Prem is quite jealous of every man in her life. To make matters worse, Prem's own brother Arun is a close friend of Sanjana and declares that they are going to marry. Prem is really torn between his love and his desperation that he would lose her.

Sanjana is also having a tough time. She is still in love with Prem but has no hope since he has already rejected her. Hence working with Prem is pure torture, especially since he is quite rude to her. His rudeness gets worse whenever she tries to talk to him about Arun's problems.

The story goes from there, with their relationship alternating between hot and cold, until they are forced into a marriage due to circumstances and finally understand one another.

Rating: One of the best ChitraBala novels.
