சிவப்பு கல் மூக்குத்தி ஏன் 130 பக்கங்களிலேயே முடிச்சிட்டீங்க?இன்னும் படிக்கணும் போல இருந்தது. விறுவிறுப்பு, ஆர்வம் குறையாம பக்கங்கள் நகர்ந்தது. digital print download பண்ணி, அரை மணி நேரத்திலேயே படிச்சு முடிச்சிட்டேன். இது எப்போ புத்தகமா கைல வர போகுது ன்னு ஆர்வமா இருக்கேன். ரொம்ப நாள் கழிச்சு ஒரு காமிக்ஸ் அதுவும் தமிழ் ல அதுவும் ஒரு திகில் கதையை படிச்சா திருப்தி முழுசா இருக்கு.

காமிக்ஸ் க்கு வருவோம்...

வருண்-மாயா நடுல இருக்கற காதல், வருண்-சந்துரு மத்தில இருக்கற நட்பு ரொம்ப எதார்த்தமா இருக்கு. அந்த aliens யோட வரவு எதிர்ப்பார்க்கவே இல்ல. லக்ஷ்மியோட ஆன்மா தான் ன்னு நினைச்சுட்டே படிச்சேன். எதிர்பாராத திருப்பம். கதை ரொம்ப எளிமையாவும், விறுவிறுப்பாவும் இருந்தது. வாழ்த்துக்கள்.

அடுத்து visualisation . ரொம்ப அழகா வரையப்பட்டு இருந்தது. shadow வோட பகுதி , அந்த சந்தீப் கும்பலோட இடங்கள், அந்த எஸ்டேட், ஆத்துக்குள்ள மூக்குத்தி எடுக்கற சீன், அப்புறம் வருண்-மாயா பொண்ணு பாக்கற சீன், aliens பிரிஞ்சு போற பகுதி..சொல்லிட்டே போகலாம்... ரொம்ப ரொம்ப அழகா colorful ah இருந்தது. முக்கியமா மாயா தான் கொள்ளை அழகு. alien தன் உடம்புக்குள்ள போனதும் கர்வமா இருக்கற மாதிரி ஒரு உருவம், terrific !

இன்னும் நிறைய தமிழ் காமிக்ஸ் இப்படி வரணுங்கறது தான் எங்க விருப்பமும். எனக்கும் கதை எழுதறது, dialogues எழுதறது ன்னு இதுல நிறைய ஆர்வம் உண்டு. உங்களோட அடுத்த படைப்புக்காக என்னால எதாவது பங்களிக்க முடியும்னா ரொம்ப சந்தொஷப்படுவேன் .

சிவப்பு கல் மூக்குத்தி டீம் க்கு மனமார்ந்த வாழ்த்துக்கள்!

I am so excited to see this 'first of it's kind' Tamil digital novel. Interesting story line. Good characters. Beautiful graphics. I had a slight 'marmadesam' feeling at the beginning of the novel. You know that exciting, comfortable, expectations-filled feeling that you get when you settle in for a mystery/thriller book or movie? That's what I meant by my 'marmadesam' feeling. I am so glad this novel provoked that feeling in me. I am not going to provide a summary here as it might ruin the fun of future readers but here some key words - A beautiful couple, a secluded mansion in the woods and some mysterious people and happenings. Oh and there is also a twist in the story which will catch you by surprise! Now for the complaint - I wanted more! I would have loved it if there were few more pages. It would have allowed for more character buildup and suspense. I love how Nandhini dedicated a few pages in the beginning introducing the characters to us. But more of this character and events narations through out the books would have been better. I want more books from this team! And I would be the happiest girl in the world if you did a series in the same genre(thriller/horror/mystery). Overall, I enjoyed it and left with a feeling of wanting more. Also thumbs up for trying to enhance Tamil literature with new endeavors such as this. You have a fan here.

I bought Graphic Novel'Sivappu Kal Mookuthi' (Tamil)/ 'Girl with a Red Nose Ring'(English) from www.mbcomicstudio.com Is a fantastic make. Right from the first page, we can see the quality. An image = 1000 words. For making such speaking image the director and the team has put lot of efforts.

They have given precised and distinct features for each role. Every image speaks perfectly. From page #43 I got goose pimples many times. (real success of proper expressions & Crisp dialogues) I did not feel like reading. I felt like watching a Science-fiction on screen, as I purchased laptop version. Its memorable and amazing experience for me. My appreciations and wishes for the director doing such never before effort in Tamil. The quality will speak for ever. This is a new beginning for digital version of Tamil novels.

I can very well imagine and understand how much sustained effort and hardwork behind this work. Cheers team, you made it. It will def be a benchmark for Tamil Graphic novels. I wish proper recognition and reach for the team from all over the world. Its a milestone. :) Congratulations team

The first thing that struck me about Nandhini's Sivappukkal mookuthi or its English version Girl with a Red nose ring was its quality of work. The illustrations were simply mind blowing. The hues and color values of the scenery and the characters, the minute facial expressions which was hitherto observed only in Hollywood animated movies have been brought out with great dedication. The script is fairly straightforward and uncomplicated but the way it has been etched in the imagery is what deserves a pat on the back. The fact that this is in our tamizh language is a great bonus since our people can be made aware of such creativity and pioneering work, and they would definitely support it. Tamizh has been the cradle of culture, civilization and art forms since time immemorial and this is one of the technological leaps with which our great language can soar in the Internet age. I look forward to the next novel and would like to be even more impressed.

Such a different try.. Like a touching love story with PK FILM concept slightly

Thank you Nandhini mam for the attempt first actually i never thought it to be so thrilling and interesting affair.Being a comic book fan from childhood was waiting for this really since the trailer was released ,it is a good story with love ,thrill and the other suspenseful stuffs which i think revealing would spoil the fun.From the beginning till end it was really engaging when i felt its predictable it hit my head back with Twists and thrills. The dialogues though really good , I read in Tamil so i really liked the Life and love dialogues... Enuf said about the story and Director's brilliance,i would also want to appreciate the makers of digital comic,the page transition sounds and display were crystal clear.. Really looking forward for the next one and I seriously want the author to travel into our hearts with many more different kinda stories,genres.Also i would suggest to make media,cinema people read the book so that it gains the recognition it deserves.Badly waiting for the next book from the author.Its for all ages and i seriously hope this good work will be continued for the days to come :)#Tamildigicomic #super #Wantingmore
thanks on my behalf and waiting for next big and different product Nandhini mam

So Glad to review this first contemporary Digital Novel in Tamil. I was following SKM from its starting stage in facebook. I was so excited for its release, and now it created a bench mark.
As I am also a budding Graphic Artist, was wondering to see digital art experts in Tamilnadu, Mahesh and Sainath Fulfilled that quest. All Graphics are so attractive and well communicating the scene. Face Expressions are handled well, Hats off to them.

Now about the story, no doubt Frame by frame interesting story line. But expected more at the end, after the interesting twist, the story started to move fast and it ends in no time. was expecting more interesting scenes after the twist. But don't know whether that's possible to add more pages.
Expecting more comics from the team in future and also requesting to release some Hardcopy as well for people like me who like the feel of keeping in hand touching the paper and reading :)

Great work Nandhini Madam, wish you all success and also like to wish Manikandan who wrote lyrics for Trailer song. All the best to team!
I will Recommend this book for any comic lovers and Thriller Story lovers

It was a bringing my school days into me ...Thanks SKM and Team!

I appreciate the efforts and hard work put in by Nandhini on such digital comic in Tamil.

The story started as a young couple to be married , discussing about LOVE.
It is lovable script to me.Simply it took me to the discussions i made with my partner when we started our life.

Then onwards it sucked in the Thrilling mystery world of Comics.

Myself and my friend Karthikeyan were brought a hand made , monthly comic book when studying standard fourth, in a village called Gobi.

This may sound good for the people who breath for Comics.I find many literature writers,critics,Movie maker,poets are fans of Comics.

SKM opens up a new life in Comics World after a sagging 15 years .

SKM is lovely script can be made a Fantasy thriller movie and It has all the surprise elements into it for a good Script.

My hearty congratulations to Team SKM....!

Long wait is over. Was expecting to read this book in Tamil for very long. Got the book as soon as it got released. Initially eyeballed few pages and immediately I knew that its gonna be an amazing graphic novel. Dedicated few hours to complete. After completing the story. It did not disappoint. No time wasted unneccessairly to set up the story. Getting to know each character was easy. The graphics were amazing. Good flow to story throughtout, easy to follow. I personally enjoyed first half more however all build ups in the middle and an unexpected twist at the end was great. Creators left me wanting more. Overall good work and nice story. A must read for all comics fans, especially Tamil readers.If I'm not wrong SivapuKalMukuthi is the only contemporary graphic novel in Tamil.

Sivappu Kal Mookuthi has been on my wish list since the day it was announced, and I literally jumped on the chance to read it. It was very evident from the start that this was a graphic novel from a filmmaker! I could see the screenwriter in the author taking us through a film as I read it. It had a good mix of suspense, thrill, mystery, supernatural elements, and the twist in the end was definitely unexpected. The artists have done a great job with the illustrations, and had a bunch of very interesting compositions.

The book did have a few downsides for me in terms of character development, but those pitfalls did lead to some good misleaders. So, no complaints!

Hope such bold attempts get noticed and help increase the number of such attempts in the future!

Kudos to the team!

Girl with red stone ring: Good storyline, very good illustrations. Interesting twists that make the reader think "ok that was unexpected, what's next?" , Turning point of the story is when the reader assumes its a horror mystery and it turns into a .................... ( find out for urself !!!! ). Kudos to the author and the creative team on the attempt. Keep them coming. Cheers to the author , J Nandhini on her great work !!

Originally purchased this in 2015 and conveniently forgotten about it. When I saw Nila Nila Odi Vaa web serial today, the director's (Nandhini J S) name stuck me familiar. Then realized she is the author of this graphic novel which I purchased about 3 years back. Read & finished it one sitting just now. Without much pretensions, it is a nice story. Good tempo and suspense. Has she written any books after this ? I don't know. But, worth reading on weekend.
