Randamoozham is the retelling of the Mahabharata from the second Pandava, Bhima’s perspective. Written in Malayalam by MT Vasudevan Nair, the book has been translated into English and is currently being made into a Movie starring Mohanlal.

Revisionism is not a popular style when it comes to Indian Literature. There have never been many champions who thought ‘what if a certain story of old was not how it actually happened?’ and tried to look at the same story from a different perspective. The only recent Indian book I can think of in this vein must be ‘Asura’ by Anant Neelakantan, who tried to portray a different image of Ravana through his book. Though an honest attempt, the novel defied logic and sensibilities of the readers and was marred with erratic storytelling.

Hence ‘Randamoozham’ or The Second Turn penned by Jnanpith award winner M.T.Vasudevan Nair, one of the living legends of Kerala literature, has to be held in high esteem. This work, which was first, published in 1984, won the Vayalar award for the best literary work in Malayalam of the year. Randamoozham is a retelling of the Indian epic Mahabharata from the view point of the second Pandava, Bhima. What makes this work stand apart is in the way the author has steered away from the mythological setting, and in the masterstroke of casting the characters as mere mortals, a stark contrast from the divine and godly setting portrayed in the epic.

The story takes the reader right from the time of Kunthi and Pandava’s re-entry in to Hasthinapura following King Pandu’s death, through all the major incidents stated in Mahabharata, to a stunning climax. The title itself has the touch of a genius and is a fitting way to showcase the second-hand treatment meted out to Bhima by everyone all through his life. The book beautifully captures the pain and tribulations of Bhima and shows Kunthi,Draupadi, Dronacharya, Yudhishtira, Krishna, Arjuna, Karna, Duryodhana and all the other major players of this story as mere humans of flesh and blood. Every incident stated in Mahabharata as a divine intervention is shown in a new light to the readers. The master wordsmith also describes how the bards make it a point to blow an incident out of proportion. The way in which political and mind games of Mahabharata are played out giving equal importance to all the characters is well worth a mention, as is the way in which he describes the times, architecture and lifestyle of that era. The work was hugely successful and well received by the reader despite the controversial and divisive tone of the subject.

I urge readers to get their hands on this classic at the earliest. The original Malayalam version is of 300 pages and is available at several bookstores online. For non-Malayalam readers there is an English translation available as well.

Review: Randamoozham (The Second Turn) by M. T. Vasudevan Nair - September 16, 2013

This is the story of Bhima, the second son, always second in line – a story never adequately told until one of India’s finest writers conjured him up from the silences in Vyasa’s narrative. Randamoozham is the masterpiece of Jnanpith winning writer M T Vasudevan Nair. This novel won him many recognitions including the prestigious Vayalar Award. This edition has many wonderful sketches by the gifted illustrator, Artist Namboodiri.

M T Vasudevan Nair’s Bhima is a revelation: lonely; eager to succeed; treated with a mixture of affection and contempt by his Pandava brothers, and with scorn and hatred by his Kaurava cousins. Bhima battles incessantly with failure and disappointments. He is adept at disguising his feelings, but has an overwhelmingly intuitive understanding of everyone who crosses his path. A warrior without equal, he takes on the mighty Bakasura and Jarasandha, and ultimately Duryodhana, thus bringing the Great War to a close. However, all of Bhima’s moments of triumph remain unrecognized and unrewarded. If his mother saw glory only in the skills of Arjuna and the wisdom of Yudhishtira, his beloved Draupadi cared only for the beauteous Arjuna.
