In “Pirivom Santhippom,” Sujatha focuses on relationships and the dynamics between people, exploring themes of separation and reunion. The title, which translates to “We Will Part, We Will Meet Again,” indicates that the novel delves into the emotional journey of characters who experience separations and eventual reconciliations.
This love story, featuring four characters, begins in Thirunelveli’s Papanasam and concludes in America. The four characters are Ragupathi, a young man who confronts everything in life with intensity; Radha Kishan, an American-Indian youth with a laid-back attitude; Madhumitha, a woman whose heart retains a childlike innocence; and Ratna, a resolute Tamil-American woman.
It has been adapted into the movie called “Anandha Thandavam”. While the film adaptation takes some creative liberties, the core story remains rooted in the novel’s themes and narrative.
