Shankar is the widower father of Ajay. Shankar and Ganesh are friends from school days. School days. Chandrika was his girlfriend some time ago. The same story in parallel happens between Ajay, Devdas, and Shweta. There is friendship, romance, unconditional love, family bond, emotional turmoil, disagreements, ego clash, and many more.
The story is as entertaining as the title. A good one-time read.
The narration is engaging and free-flowing without any major twists. In some places, the local language style of narration is used. Some readers may not connect with it. Though this type of narration might be experimental, it can be a speed-breaker to the readers. Other than this, the story is a fine read.
Apart from the main characters, the father and the son, the other characters, specifically, each girlfriend, are very interesting. The son showcases the common and judgemental traits of the conditioned human from the closed Indian society. The intelligent father and his formulas against his son's ideas are entertaining to read. The characters have equal importance, scope, and space in the story. The son's personality will help the readers understand how not to behave with their fathers to satisfy societal expectations.
The story is a straight drama with free-flowing language. But to, maintaining the same pace with simple writing is also a complicated issue at times. Here, author Jagadish impressed his readers in achieving this near to impossible feat. As the story progresses at its own pace, things happen, and the drama gets stronger. Little nuances, some conversations, and other gripping elements are included well in manner.
