A review by bookyeller
આયનો (Aayno) by અશ્વિની ભટ્ટ

4.0

Ashwini Bhatt is known for his popular novels like Othaar, Faanslo, Aaska Maandla, Katibandh, Nirja Bhargav, Angaar and Aakhet. He was born on 12 July 1936 in Ahmedabad, India and died on 10 dec 2012 in Dallas, Texas. He was also known for being a novelist, actor and an activist.
His books mostly belong to the drama, thriller and mystery genre. This book "Aayno" contains Bollywood drama. Story starts with the mystery of lost man Vijay Joshi, who just disappeared in thin air. Ketan, his best friend, is the main suspect of this case. And then story picks up pace with the journey of Ketan and Madhavi (Ketan's wife) to Jashod's old castle. Which has so many hidden mysteries.
This book is well written, that might seem like a cheesy Bollywood movie's script. But I enjoyed it very well. Fast paced story. You could read it in one go. Although I liked this author's other book "Shailja Sagar" better. If you are into Gujarati literature do check out this author.
