About The Book
Once upon a time, in small-town India, there lived two intelligent boys.
One wanted to use his intelligence to make money.
One wanted to use his intelligence to start a revolution.
The problem was, they both loved the same girl.
Welcome to Revolution 2020, a story about childhood friends Gopal and Raghav, who struggle to find success and love in Varanasi. While Gopal gives in to the system, Raghav tries to fight it—but who will win?
My Thoughts
Sometime back there was a rumor that this book is also going to turn into a feature film. Thanks to God, this didn’t happen.
The story is average at best.
As per the characters are concerns, Raghav character is less developed. There are times I felt, he is just there to give a contrast to Gopal’s character.
The author gave his best to Gopal and tries to make him a believable character. Chetan Bhagat signature style is to make everything filmy and Gopal’s character is also a victim of the same trope.
Overall, this book is better than Half Girlfriend and a one-time read.
