ఏం కోల్పోతామో తెలిసి కూడా ధర్మం వైపు నిలబడ్డ రాముడి కథ అందరికి తెలిసిందే, కానీ కలియుగంలో మన కథానాయకుడు కృష్ణ కూడా అదే మార్గం ఎంచుకున్నాడు. మరి ఎన్ని అరణ్యవాసాలు, అజ్ఞాతవాసాలు దాటాల్సివచ్చిందో జరుగుతుందో లేదో తెలియని ఒక పట్టాభిషేకం కోసం”... "అయోధ్య చేరిన కృష్ణ " - మధ్య తరగతి కుర్రాడి నిత్య జీవిత యుద్ధం
Ayodhya Cherina Krishna is a novel where the author clearly puts in sincere effort to build a meaningful story. It has emotions, progress, ups and downs, love, family, and relationships. You can see that the intention is genuine and that the author wants the story to stand for something.
However, what strongly affected my reading experience was how often the author steps away from the story to preach or motivate. Whenever a character is going through a situation, instead of letting the emotion unfold naturally, the narration shifts into explanations and life lessons. At many points, it felt unclear whether the emotions belonged to the character or if the author was directly addressing the reader.
For me, a novel should trust its readers. If a reader is truly invested, they will understand the emotions, meanings, and takeaways through the story itself. Fiction should allow space for readers to think, feel, and evolve on their own. Constantly forcing motivation or inserting thoughts takes away that freedom and ends up influencing the reader rather than engaging them.
Because of these deviations, I found myself skipping some pages. Even after doing so, I honestly did not miss any part of the story, which made those sections feel unnecessary. The frequent use of famous quotes also felt excessive, and I am not very sure what the author intended to prove through them.
Overall, the story had potential, but the unnecessary preaching made it feel repetitive and a little boring for me.
A breezy read except for two things: 1. Editing is poor. So many words are wrongly spelt and shows how horrible Telugu literary state is in 2. Half the book is structured as self help rather than being story driven. There are chapters dedicated to moral lectures without inching the story forward
Ayodhya Cherina Krishna took me through a mix of emotions — from boredom and cringe to inspiration and personal connection.
When I first started reading, the story felt very common and predictable. It came across like a typical love story that we’ve already seen many times in movies, web series, and other media. Because of that, I initially found it a bit boring and even slightly cringe at times.
But everything changed in the second half. As Krishna’s journey unfolds — especially his struggles in business, dealing with failures, betrayals, and difficult decisions — the story starts to feel more real and impactful. It explores an important truth: you can never fully judge a person, no matter how long you’ve known them, because people change with situations.
The book also highlights the risks of making impulsive decisions, especially in business — starting something without enough experience or understanding, facing losses, and dealing with the emotional and financial consequences. It shows how some people rise again with courage and support, while others may break under pressure. What made this book truly special for me was how personally relatable it felt.
Krishna’s journey reminded me a lot of my own father — someone who kept trying in business, faced failures, went through setbacks, returned to stability, and tried again. And the way Anusha stood by Krishna reminded me of my mother’s support for my father. Even though my parents’ story doesn’t have cinematic drama, the emotional core felt very similar. That personal connection is what made the story meaningful for me.
However, one aspect that didn’t fully work for me was the writing style. The book includes several motivational quotes within the story, and at times, they felt a bit forced — like reading Instagram or YouTube motivational content. It slightly disrupted the natural flow of the narrative, especially in the beginning. That said, as the story progressed, some of these quotes started to feel more relevant.
Overall, my connection was stronger with Krishna’s business journey than with the love story.
In the end, Ayodhya Cherina Krishna is a relatable, emotional, and reflective read. It may start off feeling familiar, but it gradually finds its depth through real-life struggles and personal growth. Not perfect — but meaningful in its own way.
This novel immediately sparks curiosity at the beginning, drawing everyone into the love story. As the narrative unfolds, it resonates deeply with the emotions of boys and girls who have faced similar situations in their own lives. By the time you reach halfway through the book, certain lines will stay with you:
“జీవితం దేవుడి మీద నమ్మకం లేని వాడితో సైతం దేవుడా అని తలుచుకునులే చేస్తుంది.!” (Life makes even those who don’t believe in God think of Him.)
The story reminds us to value both the ocean and life itself. Even if you take a step back on a day that doesn’t belong to you, nothing is truly lost. Moving slowly until you find the right path is never a mistake. Those rough trails exist only until you reach the road ahead.
సముద్రానికి, జీవితానికి విలువివ్వాలి. నీది కాని రోజున ఒక అడుగు వెనక్కి వేసినా ఏం నష్టం జరగదు. సరైన విధానం తెలిసే వరకూ నిదానంగా వెళ్ళినా ఎలాంటి తప్పు లేదు. ఆ గతుకుల మార్గం రహదారి చేరే వరకే
A good one coming from a Telugu author. A Contemporary story line, which could make readers connect to the book. Less of a story more of morals, throughtout the book.
