The Blaft Anthology of Tamil Pulp Fiction - Volume 2 by Pushpa Thangadorai, Rakesh Khanna, Rajesh Kumar, Indra Soundar Rajan, Jeyraj, Indumathi, Resakee, M.K. Narayanan
3.0
It was only natural that I would return to this series. A year or so ago, I read the first installment and liked the brainless entertainment it offered. The reading is effortless, the lines cheesy, the action non stop and the dialog unintentionally funny ! Welcome to the world of Indian pulp ! While Tamil pulp fiction might not represent the entire plethora that India has to offer, it definitely is dynamite. You get monsters, broad-chested policemen, women with swaying hips and heaving bosoms, murder, magic and mayhem to name a few ingredients in these stories.
Contrary to my usual style of writing reviews, I will not go into the details of individual stories, plots or characters. The reason is simple enough for they all rest on rather delicate clues which if given away will spoil the fun. Personally, I would recommend reading the first volume before getting into this one to get a taste of things to come.
Oh and if by any chance you do start reading them, leave your logic and reasoning safely locked up. If you let them out, they'd start screaming and raving at these poor souls !
