Revolution 2020
What’s in it?
At first, the book’s title seemed a bit serious to me unlike most of his earlier books and after reading, I changed my opinion from serious to thought-provoking. Yes, it definitely is. With this book, Chetan seems to have gone forward to shake the things up in the society through his genuine effort of igniting the silent spirit of youth. I’m not going to kill the charm of reading a book by letting out a story but here is what builds the plot.
The story revolves around three friends; two boys and a girl. As they grow, their situations change and so priorities change. Friendship is confused with love and questioned with jealousy. Love is formed, confused and replaced on the basis of inadequacy-filling future safety. Ambition is directed by forced situation and is driven by the loved ones. Passion is always fearless and finds its own way to get there. It shows how miscommunications in real life invite misperceptions and create mishaps which eventually lead to misery. Corruption is a captivating game which involves most if not all and this is boldly displayed through many categorical remarks.
Must say that Bhagat once again successfully proves himself the master of pressing right buttons of “Indian” emotions through his brilliantly narrated observations. It’s a real page-turner, unputdownable mature tale which poses burning questions the very fundamentals of the systems; be it human value system or inhuman political one.

totally hated this novel. perfect bollywood story... boy grows up with a girl.. boy has feelings for her, girl finds someone more successful and falls for him. seems BHAGAT likes DHADKAN(akshay, suniel shetty, shilpa shetty) a lot..
nothing new to offer.
could have done more..especially after a book like "5 . sum1"
