Welcome to 2020

Passing time @ my home town(Gorakhpur) is difficult job for me..reasons I don't have any more affinity for meeting people or rather you can say that fundas of living in Hyderabad is a reason for change in my behavior.
Anyways, Lets come back to point this tym i picked up India's Bestseller English Author Chetan Bhagat's latest novel/Flick(reasons for that later) "REVOLUTION 2020".
The novels title looks fancy and catches your attention after much heated controversy he created commenting on Narayana Murthy's comment(Body Shopping).
I picked it up and started reading it,Lets go for small summary below..then reviews :P
"Again he picks up another person from disaster,targets a middle class Indian(redefined as poor class).He writes what happens when you are in class 12th .. infatuation /II(shi)T/parents pressure and not to forget Chetan Bhagat's twist in novel that is always hyper imaginary.This time a poor guy's farm land gets converted to GANGA TECH college and a 21 year old guy becomes director of it(What the shack)".

Review Time:
This time no praises for you Mr. Bhagat ,the novel sucks.Get over your usual story line people are loosing interest reading the same WIRE-FRAME of story,it looks more of James Headly chase Series where you predict novel climax in 10th page ,but people read it because of  its minute interesting details -that is also lacking in Revolution 2020.
The story talks of a orphan 19 year old kid GOPAL having LOVE(infatuation) for his childhood friend AARTI( DM's daughter) and his super revolutionary friend an IITian(RAGHAV) ,with whom AARTI falls in love.the novel talks extra love affair of AARTI to GOPAL despite being with RAGHAV and RAGHAV's revolutionary stuff newspaper and all.At the end GOPAL's big sacrifice for his friend RAGHAV,getting him and AARTI back together.
It felt to me i am seeing some 0.5 Star rated movie done by some stupid bollywood director,the novel ends on a tone where GOPAL asks Chetan "AM I GOOD PERSON?"...dude chetan please we dont expect movie scripts from you.
Actually I think last time AAMIR KHAN made a lot of changes in his 5 point someone's story to fit it for 3 IDIOTS screenplay and story,He wasn't happy with that and made a fuss.So this time he reduced director and producer's job of writing perfect movie screenplay and story,he wrote in his novel.

My Rating: Don't Read it if you don't like Chetan Bhagat coz u may start hating him.

Read it if you have read his earlier novel and think he writes good,this novel will change your thinking..

A Sincere Advice To Chetan Bhagat ,get a new wireframe for your story or you are the next one to be in history of best indian english authors!!



Adieu !!frens..catch you @ Midnight Blog..."A talk about II(shi)T".

TWO STATES

"LOVE MARRIAGE AROUND WORLD ARE SIMPLE:
GIRL LOVES BOY,BOY LOVES GIRL

IN INDIA THERE ARE FEW MORE STEPS

THIS IS WHAT CHETAN BHAGAT'S NEW NOVEL 2 STATES TELL ABOUT,ITS A KIND OF PREQUEL TO 5 POINT SOMEONE.

The
