SYNOPSIS:

               A CIA conspired story to kill a Chilean communist president using a hypnotized guy from Tamil Nadu, India.

               the story starts with Jawahar vittal, attending his company party on a tamil new year. but to his suprise, there's another guy giving his speech in his position claiming he is jawahar vittal. when jawahar shouted everyone saw him as a stranger, no one recognizes him.he's been thrown out of his company.

              when he returned to his house, to tell about the weird thing happened at his office. his nightmare continues, even his wife, daughter, his dog didn't remember him, the guy who gave the speech earlier came out of the house and his wife hugs him.

              after menacing twists n turn he landed in ganesh's case, with even more twists and turns, it turns out that jawahar vittal is infact a guy named "raja". and a whole CIA conspiracy is going around him.

NILLUNGAL RAJAVE:

               NILLUNGAL RAJAVE is fast paced story with twists and turns in unexpected ways. the author sujatha has his way of connecting everything with a global level.

               the character developments are good but still need a backstory. and mostly left with the assumption to the readers.
           
               personally, I think the story is too much to understand for people back in 90's, but with his elegant writing sujatha made it easy to understand but there's one more problem, it's believing it.
           
               writing is simple and trendy, with subtle humor with ganesh and vasanth. and crisp with no off topic,

OVERALL STORY:
               as a clumsy story grows into an international security threat. you will left to be stunned.

  2. Mind bending novel. Hollywood movie "Unknown" starring Liam Neeasan used this concept (?).
