Randamoozham

Synopsis

Randamoozham (transl. The second turn) is a Malayalam novel by M. T. Vasudevan Nair. It is a revisionist retelling of the Mahābhārata from the perspective of Bhīma, departing from the epic's traditional mythological framework by rejecting divine intervention in favour of a human-centred, realist portrayal of its characters and events. First serialized in Kalakaumudi Weekly in 1984, it won the Vayalar Award for the best literary work in Malayalam in 1985. It also won the Muttathu Varkey Award in 1994.
