A Tepid Tale of Love and Corruption in Modern India

REVOLUTION 2020

REVOLUTION 2020

Chetan Bhagat's 'Revolution 2020' endeavors to intricately craft a saga that melds romance, aspiration, and the quest for social transformation against the backdrop of modern India. Although the foundational concept teems with potential—delving into the murky waters of educational corruption and intricate personal dynamics—the overall delivery is less than satisfying. Bhagat’s unembellished style does little to captivate the audience, resulting in characters that lack depth and narrative arcs that are all too foreseeable. Despite these flaws, this work may resonate with those in search of an easy-going read that skims the surface of pertinent societal themes within India. However, avid readers yearning for complexity and layered storytelling might find this underwhelming production from a well-known Indian novelist rather disappointing.
