Reviews

[Isha Adwitiya · Rating 4 out of 5]

It’s the autobiography of Fakir Mohan Senapati. He is an icon of all odia people out there. Everyone idolises him but his life was in loneliness, he expressed about it, the grief, despair and loss of everything he has. It’s a beautiful story, you will sympathise with him a lot on certain points as he was truly that unlucky and unfortunate but all Odia people loved him and he mentioned in the end that it’s enough for him. It’s a warm hug from the past, I felt.
