Hi Friends,
The novel starts with the last 2-3 years scenario that has developed in India. The events
are still fresh inside the minds of all the people of India. The
names of the people involved have been changed in the novel but the fiction and
reality never change as I kept comparing the characters with the real-life
individuals. The novel is fast-paced and keeps the momentum building up till
the last 50-60 pages where it is on full-throttle. I was not able to put it
down once I reached Chapter 12.
At the start of the novel, I
felt the story is being copied from Rang De Basanti as one of the character's
relatives died due to an air force plane crashed due to faulty parts deals by the
politicians. So the revenge factor was all set in the story. As the story grow
more and more characters were introduced and the main buildup of characters was
done sooner in the novel.
The story revolved around four
main characters and their hunt to be at the right place at the right time. It's
a cop and chase story but in the Indian political background, it really
resonates with what the common man feels and wants. The writer has been good to
understand the viewpoint of the country and added something extra from his own
end. the novel is a great time pass but not in that league where we find the
Meluhan thrills and Chanakya chanting the mantras. It is a nice read but I
don't think anyone wants the story to be remembered as we have seen many
English and Hindi movies on this theme. Overall the novel has all the masala of
Bollywood and Hollywood
movies built into its central characters and storyline. The aftermaths of the
attack also resonate with what the common man wants the future of this country. The
writer has given words to the common man's mind and feelings. The triangular
love story between the main characters develops. Plane hijacking has also been
added to the story for a strong reason to go RIP. The whole personalities of Paramilitary forces are very well defined and makes you
want for more action. An angle of extra-marital affairs is also introduced as
one of the characters has the right kind of charm and money. The anger and rage
he has inside of him is also depicted very well. The ideas to execute some of
the politicians are also not new as we have seen the same in the JFK assassination
but the style is definitely new. The novel is definitely a mix of all the
terror attacks that happened in India
just like the movie Pankaj Kapoor's Mausam which also showed many. The overall
solution seems to be the best part of the story as when there is fear of death
in everyone, very few people will deviate themselves from being right and
righteous.
As this is my first book review at blog adda I am kind of houch pouch in terms of running around the story but I don't want to reveal the excitement as I want all readers to personally go through the book. I will be awaiting comments from the more experienced readers and bloggers.
