Hardly do you feel confused after reading an english book.Especially as far as rating the book is concerned.It almost seems like two different people have written it.So good it parts.Horrible in other.Page turner alright,but....
For one,the title is a complete misnomer.there's simply no revolution.Its just a love triangle.And,only one character is given attention despite there being 3 protagonists.Especially ,the girl....she comes and goes in phases...more like the bollywood heroines,who are there just for their beauty...The narrator sulks through out....when he is in debt,when he goes to study,when his friend hits on his girl,when he becomes rich,when she changes her mind,when she decides to marry him,there's only 1 thing he does...sulks....Still this sinking feeling the reader gets on reading the book is more to do with the ending...yeah,the opening and middle game are good(passable at least)
This seems to be somekind of a script for a movie rather than a novel...so unrealistic,too far fetched.
This book isn't crap though.The way bhagath portrays varanasi,human emotions(here and there) and the changing culture are stand points,not to mention the way in which girls send confusing signals. If only he could have given better treatment to the subject.....
The subject is too good to be treated like this.The book will sell,but am not sure if it will satisfy the readers.Agreed,not all novels need to have happy endings,but there should be some reason for the ending to be sad.It all seems way too abrupt and crass.Was it deliberate.given all other books of his have happy endings??
Really how can the girl marry raghav after having done it with gopal?that too twice??
All in all,thank god it was a library book...And to be fair,Chetan is just a mediocre writer,wen compared with others.
of course its wrong to compare writers of different genres and backgrounds...Well whatever....
