At Almost all places she is mentioned as a good dancer, patron of arts and principal queen of the king. She committed suicide at Shiv grange hill as she had no child. Nothing more is written.<br />thanks <br /><br />Dr K Prabhakar RaoDr K Prabhakar Raohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12139913886706195558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5958753898845322149.post-86379779744893224162009-04-08T21:22:00.000+05:302009-04-08T21:22:00.000+05:30This soo reminds me of Vaandhi from Ponniyin Selva...This soo reminds me of Vaandhi from Ponniyin Selvan... One shouldnt want to go into the reason behind the decision but rather enjoy the play of emotions. It most certainly has influences from Kalki, mixed with a very unique style of narration.Subramaniamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05623566959526728352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5958753898845322149.post-68882054534977389772009-03-18T20:01:00.000+05:302009-03-18T20:01:00.000+05:30a neatly woven story with the intelligent use of c...a neatly woven story with the intelligent use of cuts . sort of maintains the suspense too ... Shantala seems to be a very good friend, loyal citizen and a dear wife . <BR/>but the weight of her decision will be felt not by her , but by her husband and friend. her suicide - sacrifice if you prefer to call it - achieves none but one purpose of establishing a heir . <BR/>she jumped into a decision .. literally ! all praises and tears showered on her apart , the end of the day , it leaves a dejected wry anger to last forever ... which is not something one would die for .<BR/>my view .. a neat story of a mythological woman who abandoned reason for sentiments - the kannagi type !<BR/>crisp narration yaarமதிhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04418768158787886206noreply@blogger.com
