'Kallan Pavithran' the graphic novel is based on the movie by Padmarajan, which is based on the short story by himself, of the same name. I had seen the movie some time back. It is a caricature-mode story about village folk, living with their follies, flaws, and simplicity. The attitudes, outlooks, jealousy, and exploitations within village people, ideally considered epitomes of innocence, are explored through this humurous story. The illustrations are great and the story is told in a comfortable pace through the graphic novel, which follows the pattern of the movie. It was fun reading this tiny graphic novel and I finished reading the whole thing in about 10-15 minutes, in a running car.
