Revolution 2020: Is it a Revolution Anyway?

 
The young author's fifth degrading attempt is Revolution 2020. Do read The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand and watch a couple of bollywood movies including Rajneeti and you would arrive to what it is known as the latest release by Chetan Bhagat.

The book revolves around three main characters. Did you guess that two are boys and one is girl. Bingo! You are right. The story is very much predictable and thus looses interest of reader. While one goes to change the system by eradicating corruption, the other one goes to earn money by establishing a college. Reading the mood of India at present, the trick to get publicity by adding corruption as an issue too doesn't help much.

The first 80 pages will harass you with the procedures to get an admission in an Engineering college, which we all know very well. The remaining pages will make you feel as if you already know the story. In short, you would wait for the thing for which the author is expert in.

With the real revolution going on at streets, the release of Revolution 2020 is just a readable version of what you see in television and movies daily.

Don't blame the writer if the book turns out to yet again a Flop bollywood movie.
