What the …. !
Why the …!
Beats me, why this book has got so much craze that it got adopted on screen more than 20 times, twice with Bollywood superstars of their times?
Having had disliked the SRK version and wondering what the fuss is all about, I decided to read the Hindi translation of the original Bengali, which I think could come close to the original.
I was expecting some philosophical platonic love kind of plot, but what I found was confused lovers' dilemma. The dialogues, the descriptions pretty ordinary. Is it the translation?
Whatever it is, big disappointment!!!
