[Anurag · Rating 5 out of 5]

A befitting prequel to the explosive graphic novel 'Caravan'! It carries all the goodness of the previous book and further adds to it.

The plotline is inspired by the 80s Bollywood revenge action dramas with stereotypical scenes and dialogues. The story has a clear beginning, middle, and end. The conflicts and motivations of the protagonists, although over-the-top, are very well presented.

Again, a fantastic job done by the Hindi translation team!
