Summary: Pretty Interesting
Comment: A very easy and enjoyble book, with it's bollywood theme. It begins well but down the road the book tends to rush a bit. As the character and story are based on real life figures, their stories are more complex I bet than what the writer makes us believe. I personally feel that he should have at least thanked the the man who is the hero of this novel, in the end where he acknowledges the others. Lastly it has been fun reading this book in the sense that it is a bit nostalgic, trying to associate the different stories to the different movies that I have seen.

Summary: Enjoyable and fun.
Comment: Whilst reading this book it became obvious to me, at least, that parts of this book were based on the life of India's biggest filmstar Amitabh Bachchan. In this book the hero, a famous movie star in the mad world of Bollywood narrates his experiences.The novel is essence a satirical look at the Indian film industry and also a look at India itself through the lens of a movie star. Enjoyable and fun, especially if one is a fan of Bollywood films.

Summary: Amusing and enjoyable story of 'fictional' Bollywood star...
Comment: Whilst reading this book it became obvious to me, at least, that the main character in this novel,Ashok, was based entirely on the real-life Bollywood star, Amitabh Bachchan. It was a satirical look at the Indian film industry and also a look at India itself through the lens of a movie star. Enjoyable and fun, especially if one is a fan of Bollywood films.
