Reviews

[Gowtham Sidharth · Rating 3 out of 5]

Romantic crime thriller , the author took "the not revealing the antagonist" thing too far.

[P. · Rating 5 out of 5]

A freelance photographer in the 1970s falls in love with a wannabe actress and decides to marry her. But fate has other plans for them.

I dont even have to bother writing a review because it is Sujatha. You know it is gonna be awesome.

I'm still wondering how Sujatha wrote about image processing in the 1970s considering the literacy rate was very low back then. He also likes his heroines to have great taste in books. In Thedaadhe the heroine's fav book is Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance. (Is it any good ? :P )

My favorite line : I felt like a helium balloon when I was in love. (said in a better way , in Tamil :D )

A good book by Sujatha sir. Characterisation and flow of the story is good. Narration of author is appreciative. Climax is a bit annoying. Overall it is a good timepass

[Arvind Srinivasan · Rating 4 out of 5]

To craft a murder mystery that satisfies readers without revealing the killer is no small feat, yet this book achieves it. Achieving this in such a format demands sheer brilliance, a quality the writer masterfully demonstrates in this story.

This is a very typical, ordinary murder mystery kuru novel, featuring Sujatha Sir's signature twist at the end. While reading, the book might seem quite ordinary. However, reflecting on the novel later reveals the immense challenge of crafting such a narrative.

Sujatha Sir's fans will find this a must-read; for others, it offers a distinct experience. Give it a try; you're sure to enjoy it. It's a very quick read, so you won't regret it.
