RED CARD
Kautuk Srivastava's 'Red Card' unfolds a deeply resonant and engaging narrative of maturation, elegantly set against the backdrop of suburban Thane in the year 2006. At the center of this evocative tale is Rishabh Bala, a student in his tenth year, wrestling with the demands of looming board examinations, the fervent pangs of first love, and a relentless quest for football stardom. As Rishabh traverses the intricate labyrinth of adolescence, readers find themselves swept away through a year marked by scholastic trials, emotional turbulence, and athletic aspirations. Srivastava adeptly encapsulates the quintessence of teenage existence, from inattentive lessons to muddy soccer fields, vividly documenting Rishabh and his companions' transition from the throes of youth to the brink of maturity. 'Red Card' serves as a nostalgic and heartening reflection on friendship, ambition, and the journey of self-discovery, striking a chord with audiences of all ages.
