Tagline: A movie adaptation can bring about the impossible combo of Kangana-Karan; and gift them both National Awards.
Review: A happening career and a happy marriage – until Koena discovers dark secrets about husband Shom. Sent on a dangerous mission she uncovers that her own life nurtures even darker secrets.
Koena is battling childhood trauma, is worshipped by an awed junior, she’s hip, chic and every inch a modern woman – as proved by gallons of black coffee, bouts of migraines and of course – psychotherapist sessions. Who else but Ranaut?
On a lighter vein, the story sometimes echoes Hamari family Naxali family. Who else but Johar?
Shom’s culinary skills and ‘shona-honey’ epithets notwithstanding, he gives scary vibes. Overall, the writing is snappy, cool, and pithy. The topic is relevant and deeply researched.
Cons: Shom’s volte face and Koena’s major decisions towards the climax seem out of sync with the rest of the novel
