"Revolution 2020" is a perfect example of what could happen if you try to turn a sloppy Bollywood plot into a novel trying to cash-in on the corruption wave which gets relegated into backdrop becoz of a directionless love story. A Disastrous Revolution. The book lacks the aggressiveness in depicting the tussle between the two friends over a same girl. To justify the title, a few chapters have been added in the end with little significance to the storyline which is just a directionless love triangle with a very acute angle. Raghav, characters, center of the revolution theme, has not been brought out properly and has been pushed to the periphery because the story goes around the mess that Aarti creates. All the characters are weak. Chetan tries to give Gopal’s character a grey shade but fails poorly in doing so.
Overall the book is not worth reading as neither it meets the expectations over the issue of corruption nor does it reflects Chetan’s earlier books’ cracking humour and grip on the story-line.
