    Maragatham was Karunkuyil Kunram Kolai Vazhakku.

    Several of Annas works made it to the movies viz. Velaikkari, Oriravu etc. I am not sure whether Anna wrote them as plays or as novels.

    Ezhai Padum Padu was from a novel by Suddhananda Bharatiyar. I believe it was either an inspiration/translation of Les Miserables.

    Thayaga Bhoomi by Kalki was made into a movie starring MS and directed by K. Subrahmanyam.

    Digambara Samiyar was a thriller by JR Rangaraju???

    Recently Swarnamukhi was serialized in Vikatan.

    Sirai was a short story written by Anuradha Ramanan.

    I watched the movie "Athma" recently. It was a raguman, ramki, gouthami, kasturi starrer. Somehow i felt it has been copied from Irving Wallace novel titled "The Miracle". Though part of it had been altered to suit our indian taste, the main theme of God's appearance, bombing the temple seemed to have been extracted from the novel. Any one sharing my views on that?

    gita: yes, Athma looked like inspired by "The Miracle". Pratap bothan's earlier movie Vetri Vizha was also an inspiration. The novel was "The Bourne Identity" (Robert Ludlum), at least till first half.

    Digambara Samiyar was written by Vaduvur Duraisami Iyengar, not JR Rangaraju.

    bb: sure, the topic is just 'novels'.
    As you recollected,
    Makkal en pakkam - part of it is based on 'Rage of angels' (Sidney sheldon)
