i only just read this cuz i saw an edit of the movie and got a bit nostalgic, i instantly understood why some people dislike chetan bhagat yet his writing is so simple for indian readers , that majority are attracted to picking up his books more frequently, it was still pretty bad though, these 1.5 ⭐️s are purely due to nostalgic reminiscence of the movie (in which the mmc’s behaviour wasn’t as insufferable)

Aside from being trite (for readers of American fiction think Nicholas Sparks in the same way he has to tell rather than show what characters are thinking and feeling or to move the plot along), this novel was not even the least bit entertaining, which is the main objective of popular fiction. The novel depicts the struggles of an Indian couple trying to fight for a marriage based on love. I struggled with the content on several levels. For one thing the prose is not smooth and I trip over it--and yet as a popular novel it should have been a quicker read. For another thing the two families--one Punjabi and one Tamil--are portrayed in a way that is riddled with stereotypes. On some level many of them I find true. But it would be nice to read a story dealing with this themes that is more complex and nuanced. By the end of the novel I find myself completely turned off by arranged marriages (something that was not true when I began the novel) and the rationales people use to uphold these kinds of traditions.
