Manjula Padmanabhan's most famous play is Harvest. It focuses on body organ-selling in India. It is a futuristic play that throws light on the desperation and the survival of a man and his family to sell organs via an agency to someone in the first world for a paltry amount of money. In the process, Om's (the man who has been selling organs from India) life is turned upside-down and monitored by the agency. The agency is obsessive with controlling the health of Om's family which includes his mother, tour hồ ba bể wife and he; while the recipient from the first world watches them on a video-conferencing mode and treats them like human dross.

Manjula Padmanabhan's latest book is Getting There; it is a partial-autobiography. She has described it as loosely based on her life between 1977 and 1978. Her short-story collection, Kleptomania is based on extremely versatile and has a host of speculative fiction themes ranging from mystery to science.
