Another Chetan Bhagat great or Bollywood Fiasco

I have just finished reading it and I must say that I am not impressed. I  had pre-ordered the book online and forgot about it, so there was no  anticipation involved when I started reading the book.


Story starts similarly to "Three mistakes of my life" with CB ending  up in a hospital with the hero named, not surprisingly, Gopal. Story  starts in similar fashion with Gopal narrating the story and CB ending  it up in a book to be shared with his readers. Disappointingly enough,  CB misses on the fact that his fans expect a certain level of quality  from his books. CB’s stories end up as movies but this one seems like it  is inspired by some SRK movie. With clichéd scenes like Gopal pissing  off heroine, Aarti, by using two prostitutes and his change of heart on  watching a poor dying kid who haunts him in the dreams, this book is  pretty disappointing for CB fans.


The story is not original and refreshing as Five points someone(FPS),  not  captivating & gripping as Three Mistakes of My Life(TMML) and  definitely not interesting as Two States(TS). Skip it if you can.


Fun fact: You may not have noticed but names of all the Heroes of CB’s  stories are spinoffs of Lord Krishna’s Name, starting with Hari, Shyam,  Govind, Krish and now Gopal.
