This book is a lil bit filmy.. But I dont know why.. I think maybe the time was right..!
This book was very funny and I was laughing a lot with and at James!
He is awesome! :)

This is the best book by an Indian author I've read in my opinion.. But I haven't read many so...

But the story was a bollywood movie type but its ok! I love books that make me laugh!

This is the only book where the lead in the author or the author both are not from Punjab I guess!
So.. I loved the story by someone who lived their life NOT in Punjab! :D

After a long time read such a book in romantic genre which touched my heart. Author has beautifully detailed all the characters. The main character Saransh and samvedna. This book made me read the book at a stretch. All the events in the book like Our story had started from the platform no. 3, Nagpur and finished at the platform no. 3, Bilaspur. This was the best one. Overall i would tell its a awesome GOODREAD... :)

"When life goes filmy" that's exactly what this novel is all about.It has all the content of a desi melodrama full of romance,ambition,corruption,tears and the life style of modern youth.This book is recommended for all those who consider as romance as a major part in your life and want to be always in your lover's arms.You will surely fall in love with "Samvedana" and her innocence.The book also has characters who just needs physical satisfaction and whom goes on changing partners per weekend.I think the character of prostitute was not necessary and the climax could have been changed , but with that end author shows the value of money and human values.Sarnash is a character sketch of every youth be it is a North Indian or a South Indian he is there among us or even with in us.Go for it there will be a smile in your face while reading this book till the end.3 star for the novel and 1 for the character written for Samvedana(such gems are rare)

couldn't close the book even after reading the whole story.. enjoyed each and every line.. sooooooo lively.. SAGAR.. SORRY I CALLED U A SUCKER OF MY SLEEP FROM MY NIGHT.. didn't imagine anything else.. had all kind of human emotions bursting at the best within single story.. i laughed..in the beginning,i felt pity for the characters.. i cried... couldn't control my tears rolling and lump in my throat was ready to burst open...
through samvedana..i feel that one can feel what is love.. i mean true love..EVEN THE PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE..ONE CAN FIND IN THIS BOOK.. I REALLY THANK SAGAR FOR GIVING SUCH A WONDERFUL MOMENT IN MY LIFE(READING-THE THING BETWEEN U @ ME... ONE BOOK TEACHING EVERYTHING OF LIFE..

[Himanika · Rating 3 out of 5]

this story is a nice piece of work
I like samvedna a lot I seriously mean a lot
her innocence and beliefs are admirable
but wat saransh did to her is worse than terrible
how can u love someone and then turn ur back to that person
anyways I don't like the end part very much coz it is described in avery wrong wyt about the single mother thing and how callously samvednaz parents left her in the mouth of werewolves

but u can say all is well when the ends well

This is purely a book that grips you, you actually connect with the characters and eventually look through their perspectives...
The characters are absolutely interesting, intriguing at times...but yeah...hell-lot fascinating...
Mr. Sahu does an awe-inspiring job at penning down this lovely story. He turns the reader's life really filmy!
It is obviously a heart-wrenching story, beautifully written and an amazing happy-ending acts as the perfect icing on the cake!

Happy Reading :)

The best book I have ever read after I too had a love story. The book is just amazing! The complete story, all of its characters, everything about this book is so great that I do not have words to describe them out. It is the most loved book by me and will be on of those which I will truly love to read again and recommend.

[Madhuri Varma · Rating 3 out of 5]

A soothing story-line, sweet script. Though some corrections in grammar are needed at some places.

[Paresh · Rating 5 out of 5]

It is an awwwwwesomme book. The best story till date i ahve encountered.
5 stars are less according to me.

In short, just Samvednatic :)

[Bhumi]

A decent love story ……
Where a man take all his time to know he is in love with the girl…..
And all that time seem like ages for the girl because of the difficulty she has to face in her life because of his man confusion between happiness and achievement……

[Rakesh Hariharan · Rating 3 out of 5]

If you like Bollywood style stories, this one is for you. The language is not great but the author manages to touch a chord somewhere inside you when you read it.

[Samarth Rangreji · Rating 2 out of 5]

This is perhaps the most stupid book I have ever read, hoards of grammatical mistakes, from sentence formation to just plain stupid words, not only that but improper use of words in areas where it was never needed. I mean it's totally absurd how one can call himself a writer with such horrible writing skills. And its even more mind baffling that its rated as the national best seller. What has happened to our generation? Is this what we have become! Reading most of the reviews here I can safely say that you are not fit to review books, hell even read books with such bad grammar. Please stop blindsiding people with shitty reviews and develop proper reading skills and grammar.

Never again I am going to read a book from an Indian author. I have lost faith in them. I got 3 books from different Indian best selling authors and each is s#!tter than the one before. Don't waste your time. Get some foreign author books and read.

[Swetha · Rating 1 out of 5]

On a sarcastic note, A very inspiring novel.
After reading this you will think, "If someone can write a book down to this level? Why can't I?"
So-called story in a line : Our desi melodrama hero, Saransh fell in love with the so-called heroine, Samvedana in college. After farewell, he neglected her to achieve his so-called ambition to become rich and well-settled. A few months later, he again went back and married her lady love and named his so-called baby princess, Smiley.
->Bad vocabulary, No command over the language.
->This could have been a good story line if the characters were well-portrayed.

P.S, I wonder how people have rated it excellent, great read, most stunning love story etc.

[Santosh Panda · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is a poor book.. Wait!! I am not saying about the writing or the story. Unlike other books which start from IITs and IIMs, this book has characters from a small educational institution and that’s why I call it ‘poor’. The story is mainly about Saransh, his dreams and his lady love, Samvedna.

Well in short the story is something like this... for more click:

[Sharath · Rating 3 out of 5]

It really is filmy, I agree. Then again, this is the best romance fiction which entertained me after a very long time. Conversations and specially the character James.. Wow man, your hard work really shows here buddy.. Ending was very obvious and ok.. But trust me fellas, you gotta try this book and am sure you won't regret it.. :)

[Shahid Huss · Rating 5 out of 5]

Fantastic story revolves around Love, Friendship and Life... It makes me to love her, cry for her, motivates to cross hurdles of life, gave inspiration and finally ends with 'never sacrifice happiness for your achievements', addicted to Samvednatic !!!

[Prakash Pandey · Rating 2 out of 5]

Its kind of bollywood filmy drama. But I liked the message of the book- "Never Sacrifice your happiness for your achievement".

[Ramaravind]

book was filmy just like the tag, and didnt like his mention about south indian mentality, author forgot that even south indians would buy his book...

[Aruna Kumar Gadepalli · Rating 3 out of 5]

Though the book is interesting, the beginning of the book checked my patience level, as the book moved towards end I enjoyed the way it took its shape.
