About The Book
‘KALKI’ is a fictional action thriller with a social message. It is basically a tug-of-war between two famous writers for the number one position. It also has a feel-good love story between a writer from Kolkata and a classical dance teacher from Varanasi. The beauty of Varanasi and the holy Ganga aarthi is presented in a splendid manner.
Dev, the main lead character, writes a story based on lord Vishnu’s final avatar, ‘Kalki’ Mysteriously, the fiction he writes becomes reality in his life and gets him stuck in a lot of problems. How he deals with them, gives a message to the society and finds his love by crossing all the huddles is what is the story.
My Thoughts
This is the second book by author Anup Jetty; I had read his first book also, and I can say for sure that Kalki is a huge improvement compared to his previous work.
Though the story started as a rivalry between two writers for the top spot, the story has many layers.
As for the storyline, I have read multiple stories based on the same plot, and being a thriller junkie, the story doesn’t surprise me. However, I enjoyed the ending.
The language of the book is lucid. The book's editing and proofreading are inadequate. There is much information provided in the book that is not correct.
I truly hope that author Anup Jetty will rectify these mistakes in his next book.
