Seeing that nobody has written a review to this amazing novel, here goes: (Spoiler alert: some parts of the plot are revealed)
This novel is set in the pre-mobile era. Originally written in Telugu by Yendamoori Veerendranath and translated to Kannada by Vamshi, this novel narrates the romantic story of the protagonist, who is a chess Grandmaster and an ace logician. When he is lamenting that there is no support to any other sport apart from cricket in India (which is true to this day also) after he gets a lukewarm welcome while returning victorious from an International chess tournament, he receives a phone call from a fan. His life would be never the same after that.
Beladingala Baale (I won't reveal her name here) enters Revanth's life like a breeze, brings in a major paradigm shift in every aspect of his life, also being the reason behind his only and best buddy James giving up his pessimistic thoughts in life.
Revanth wants to meet her, but she challenges him to uncover her identity by cracking riddles. The result: an array of comical wild goose chases, one of them turning horribly wrong, but ending on a romantic note. The romantic mood takes off after this incident. Throughout the novel, we see Revanth struggling to meet his lady love and profess his love for her, also trying to outwit her, almost always ending up in some misadventure or comical situation. My personal favourite is "Moogu.... Moogu...." By the end of the novel, there is a healthy mixture of romantic mood with comedy and suspense, only to end in the classical Yendamoori Veerendranath way: with a twist.
An amazing novel. Highly recommended: totally unputdownable (I finished it in one single day).
As an apt act of recognition of the amazingness of this novel, it has been picturized by ace director Sunil Kumar Desai, who has remained truly faithful to the novel, deviating very little from the original, thus managing to satisfy hardcore book lovers as well. Ananth Nag has played the perfect hero, with equally brilliant acting by other actors too, including Ramesh Bhat and Lokanath; Chandrika Gururaj as the voice of Beladingala Baale has indeed done an amazing job.
PS: You won't be able to relate to this novel unless you travel back to the pre-mobile era.

**SPOILER ALERT**
190 pages of awesome romantic novel was spoiled in the last couple of pages. I mean, why do authors choose cancer as a critical character in their tales.
A great romantic tale mixed with some math and logic ended with drama. Very much disappointed with the ending. My sincere request to authors is pls don't kill off nice people... blahblahblah :P

ఒక ప్రేమ కథని ఇంత అందంగా, గొప్పగా తెలుగు లో రాయగలరని యండమూరి గారి నవల చదివిన తర్వాతనే తెలిసింది.
Its a book of lifetime. But being a happy ending lover I've removed one star. All the episodes in this book are so mature and now I can see many translations of this book in many other.
Today I realised that I don't know my own language, to even write a review on this book I'm unable to locate words which i need and accepted the defeat that this generation knows english more than their own mother tongue.
ఇంగ్లీష్ లో చదివితే తమ భాషా పరిజ్ఞాన్నం పెరుగుతుంది అని అనుకునే ఈ రోజుల్లో తెలుగు పట్ల గౌరవాన్ని పెంచే నవల ఈ వెన్నెల్లో ఆడపిల్ల.

ఎండమూరికి జోహార్లు.. ఎన్నో విషయాలను అసలు కథలో జోడిస్తూనే కథను ఆసక్తి కరంగా, మనోరంజకంగా తీసుకువెళ్లే నేర్పు ఎండమూరికి కలదు. కథ చాలా బాగున్నది. చివరిలో మాత్రం పెద్దగా సస్పెన్స్ లేకపోయింది. ఏమి జరగనుందో ఇట్టే తెలిసిపోతుంది.

This novel is a suspense thriller drama with a romantic touch. The logic behind the happenings is quite engaging and the math used is a task for the reader to comprehend and enjoy its beauty. You will definitely fall in love with this "Vennello Aadapilla"

One of the very few books with great logic in parts and sheer stupidity in others :)

ther's mature romance, motivation, love, philosophy and yes.. loads of knowledge. this is set in the late 80's and except technology influences a few scheme of things, the feel is always fresh. a very good read, with emotions that linger for long. very long.

It's a very good book. Very poetic. It's my first book from this author. I loved how the suspense is carried till the end.

The writer takes care that the suspense of the story does not fade away at any point in the book. The chase is constant, the struggle is real, the way he keeps the reader engaged is beautiful. The reader is hooked onto the book till the last page. You can't and won't expect each twist in the story. The plot isn't that thick, but the way the plot flows from one sequence to another is perfect, without any loss of quality or logic. The author plays with many concepts, like math, probability, statistics, psychology, psychoanalysis, sociology, developmental psychology, sex, marriage, Freudian psychology, geography, telephone exchanges - what shocks me the most is that the author is able to do this research in an age and time when there was no internet. It wouldn't be difficult to imagine this plot being written in this age and time i.e after 2018 a quick internet search would reveal every minute detail about how any technology or any process would work out, but he did this research in a time when none of this existed. I should appreciate the intense knowledge of the author. The research that he should have done to compile this book. The author does not stretch the book, not a line less, not a line more. The author did not drag the book long enough to cause the reader any boredom. I read this in one single stretch, but the tragic ending and vairagyam or the karmic philosophy seemed to make the entire novel or the pursuit of the protagonist irrelevant, but the way the author built up the suspense as the climax neared is perfect. He could keep you hooked onto the book for hours. I now understand why people read novels but why they can't get hooked to text books - Because text books don't have a well written climax or a flow. Making the reader want to flip the page as quick as he can and keep the pace increasing as the book flows seems to be the primary aim of the writer. The intensity is built up as the author keeps the reader guessing what comes next, killing each expectation successfully every single time and taking the plot ahead in a direction that is impossible to guess. The author has become a master at this art, to take the plot beyond the expectations of the reader. If I were to guess the plot at any point of time, the book would have become senseless, the blind fold, seven chess games was the pinnacle, the author also tried to dismantle the anti-science approach that is so common in India. I just loved the plot from beginning to the end. The way it was developed is incredible.

వెన్నెల్లో ఆడపిల్ల...ఈ నవల ని ఈ కాలంలో చదవాలనుకున్నవారు తక్కువ, చదివినవారు మరీ తక్కువ. కానీ ఈ నవల చదివాక మనస్సులో ఒక మధురమైన భావం, ఒక తెలియని స్ఫూర్తి, ఎదో తెలియని బాధ. మొదటి పేజీలో తన చెంప మీదకు జారిన ఒక కన్నీటి చుక్క తనతో ఏమన్నదో అని కవి వివరిస్తే,దాన్ని చదివి ఆ అద్భుతంలో మైమరచిపోయిన నేను, పుస్తకం చివరిలో ఆ కన్నీటి చుక్క అసలు ఆ అందమైన కళ్లలోనుంచి ఎందుకు జారిందో తెలిసాక బాధ తో కృంగిపోయాను.
జీవితం లో మనకు అత్యంత అవసరమైన, మనం అసలు ఊహించని సమయంలో మన ప్రేమ మనలను వెతుక్కుంటూ వస్తుంది అని చెప్పడమే ఏమో రచయిత ఉద్దేశ్యం. ఒక చల్లటి గాలిలా ఆమె అతని జీవితం లోకి వచ్చి, తుఫాను లా మార్చింది.
“ విజయమా విజయమా వెళుతూ వెళుతూ అధః పాతాళానికి తోస్తావు. వస్తూ వస్తూ అందలాన్ని ఎక్కిస్తావు. నీకు ఇది న్యాయమేనా?” అంటూ గెలుపు ఓటముల గురించి రేవంత్ తన మనసుకు ఇష్టమైన చదరంగం ఆట నుంచి నేర్చుకున్నాడు. కానీ అంతటి గ్రాండ్ మాస్టర్ కూడా కనుక్కోలేకపోయాడు ఒక అల్లరి ఆడపిల్ల తన కోసం తాను రాసిన మొదటి ప్రేమ లేఖను చదవకుండా ఆ లేఖ రాయడం కోసం ప్రయత్నిస్తూ రాసి పారవేసిన ఆ చిత్తు కాగితాలలో దాగి ఉన్న స్వచ్ఛమైన ప్రేమను వెతుకుంటూ చదువుకుంటుంది అని.
ఏ నవల చదివేటప్పుడు అనిపించలేదు ఆలా అదే నవలలో ఉండిపోతూ చా���ా రోజులు అదే పుస్తకం పట్టుకుని మెల్లగా చదవాలని. కానీ ఈ పుస్తకం చదువుతుంటే ఆలా అనిపించింది. పేజీలు కరిగిపోతుంటే అయ్యో ఇంకా కొంచెం ఉంటె ��ాగుండే అనిపించింది. నాకు తెలియకుండానే నలుగురు కొత్త స్నేహితులు... ఒక చెస్ గ్రాండ్మాస్టర్, ఒక తెలివైన, అందమైన అమ్మాయి, ఒక టెలిఫోన్ ఆపరేటర్ ఇంకా జేమ్స్.
ముప్పుతిప్పలు పెట్టింది ఆ వెన్నెల్లో ఆడపిల్ల రేవంత్ ని. అయినా సహనం తో, తన కి ఉన్న తెలివితేటలతో ఆమె ను కనిపెట్టడానికి ప్రయత్నించాడు.
ఇంతటి అందమైన పుస్తకాన్ని చదువుతుంటే ప్రపంచమంతా నాకు జీవితంలో మరవలేని ఒక అందమైన అనుభూతిని ఇవ్వాలనుకుని౦దో ఏమో... రేవంత్ పట్టు వదలని విక్రమార్కుడిలా ఆమె ఎవరో కనుక్కోవడానికి ప్రయత్నిస్తుండగా బయట మెల్లగా మబ్బులు కమ్మి చల్ల గాలి వీచింది. అతను ఆమె పంపిన కార్ ఎక్కి ఆమె ఇచ్చిన చివరి ఉత్తర౦ చదువుతుండగా మెల్లగా ఉరుములు... అతనికి సందేహం కలిగి అదే కార్ లో ఉన్న ఆ అమ్మాయి తండ్రి వైపు చూసి ఆయన ఆమె కోరిక గురించి రేవంత్ తో చెప్పగా వాతావరణం లో టక్కున మార్పు... పెద్ద గాలి. ఒకటే వర్షం, అదే సమయానికి నా తమ్ముడు బాల్కనీ తలుపులు తెరవడం వల్ల టేబుల్ పైన ఉన్న కాగితాలు అన్ని గాల్లోకి ఎగురుతునిన్నయ్... ఇంతటి అద్భుతమైన అనుభూతిని బహుశా ఒక ఇరవై ఏళ్ళ వయస్సు అమ్మాయి జీవితం లో మర్చిపోదు ఏమో.

Quite a balanced and a refreshing one . It has that subtle romance, suspense, challenges,witty, fun and everything that can refresh your mind. It was really fun solving those little puzzles along with the protagonist. At the end it turns out to be a little touchy but, nonetheless enjoyed it thoroughly.

Very intelligently written book where the main characters are damn smart..with puzzles n riddles.. was not able to put down this book in middle.. gets emotional on the climax.

Vennello Aadapilla, is yet another interesting novel from Yandamoori Veerendranath. In this novel, he teases with the idea of Love. The primary story revolves around Revanth and an anonymous Female fan of his. The other story will come as a surprise and I don't want to spoil that for you folks.
Each individual is different and their perception of Love and human connections come with different shades. James having a troubled Childhood views women and love with a totally different lens than that of Revanth. While Revanth not having any female fans for his Chess prowess deals with and sees Love differently.
It is just been two novels by Mr. Veerendranath and I already love his writing, the way he digs deep into the psyche of a human mind, the demons in it, and the way we react to situations we are not new to. The way each processes trauma and everything. I somehow guessed how Revanth's Love story would end owing to seeing so many movies, If I had come across this book earlier my intuition might have been different.
I totally enjoyed listening to this story and loved it every bit. Hoping to listen to more of Mr. veerendranath's stories.

The writing is interesting but not captivating. There are Lot of pop culture references which need understanding of situation in '82. The book needs editing; maybe they did not edit at that time.(serial being novelised)
James is more interesting than the hero. Maybe hero is left to be assumed as us. But I assume myself as James. I am not honestly enthusiastic about these puzzle kind of love things. Blindfold chess game is very good. I am interested in hearing the opponent kind of games.
Virginity: yandamoori should be commended for discussing this in '82
Incest: the first book in Telugu in '82 to discuss this in mainstream novel.
Even today no media touches these things.

it is great book where reader is involved much into book with the help of puzzles. where reader wil become protagonist and solves puzzles. the characterization of james and revant analysis over him is briliant. the episode where realization of james happens is also a great. some sequences like heroine collecting love letter from dust bin are creative and memorable. few lines will always touches us (one is "meeru naa kanna kuda premistunaa anna bhavanane ekkuva premistunaranukunta". and last lines about tears etc). it lags in some episodes where one cannot follow poetic wrtings otherwise it is great

This is my first Telugu novel which made me feel, how did I miss this gem?¿ And then I never looked back, my love and respect for Telugu novels began that day. Such a lovely narration, at first when I heard the title all I could imagine is a woman walking in the veranda after her dinner, who doesn't even know there's a man who fell in love with her and has been watching her every night from the corner of the street.
But the story hit different, and the climax had every emotion a human could feel.
This was a great start for me!

You won't get bored at any part of this book and If you love logics and have some interest in mathematics, this book is for you. I wonder how Yandamuri Veerendranath(author) has such a great exposure to many subjects like maths, physics and what not. Some conversations in the book are awesome and I, even, highlighted them. I didn't realize till I completed the book that I read for 6 continuous hours. You will really excited to know what would happen next. I would suggest this to everyone one

యండమూరి నవలలో ఇది నా తొలి నవల. నేను చదివిన అతి కొద్ది తెలుగు నవలలు లో ఇది ఒక అద్భుతమైనది చెప్పవచ్చు. లాజికల్ reasoning , మాథెమటికల్ క్యాలీసులషన్స్ నచిన్నటైతే ఈ పుస్తకం తప్పకుండ చదవండి. ఇందులో ముఖ్య పాత్రలు face to face చుస్కోకపోయిన, కేవలం ఫోన్లో మాట్లాడుతూ ప్రేమాయణం నడుపుతారు. ఇకపోతే ఇందులో జేమ్స్ అనే పాత్ర స్నేహం, materialism మరియు హుమొర్ తో ఎంటర్టైన్ చేస్తుంది. పుస్తకం చదివాకా mixed emotions మధురత్వంతో కూడిన బాధ కలుగుతాయి. తప్పక చదవండి!!

Most interesting, intelligent, innovative romance novel..
The ideas in this book are soo innovative&intelligent that sometimes it feels like reading an engaging text book...
P.S. I'm just giving 4 stars because i can't able to understand the poetry in between, at the same time the story and proceedings are soo fast paced and interesting that i never tried too hard to understand them........ Otherwise this novel deserves 5 stars and even more....

The subtlety of romance and satire have lost a bit due to the generation gap, but, immense and engaging. One of mom's favorite books, still holds to be a good read.
Finally, I read a novel in Telugu. :)

Exciting ride of emotions . I loved the way yandamuri sir paints the picture through his writings . I'm sure it would have definetly made into movie ,i'll be keen to watch it some day but his way of testing the lead protaganist inherently tested reader and i loved the way he did that .

Definitely worth reading Novel.. IN spite of watching this movie, I thoroughly enjoyed reading this Novel. Though this book was published in 1980's it still has a freshness in it, that engages you in the story.
