This short novel depicts the life-style and suffering of people in cinema industry. It doesn’t talk about the few people who have tasted the success in film, but many other technicians and co-actors’ pathetic lifestyle. Many of the characters in this novel will get vanished during the flow of story and it exactly apt the title ‘Karaindha Nizhalgal’ meaning ‘the dissolved shadows’. It looks like the author had had the first-hand experience with the program management of a film, as the way he describes the work and schedule of a cinema programme manager.
