Hey Chetan Bhagat.... Start exercising as soon as possible!

       To start with I would like to make disclaimer. I am not chetan bhagat fan and also dont find him totally trash. 

       This 5th novel by chetan bhagat, typically like previous ones but has got good popularity. I am not going to review the novel but going to say something to chetan bhagat... 

Hey Chetan!

               Cant you write something differently? Yes, I do appreciate your efforts in describing the common subject "Unacceptable Love" and so everybody feel that this is their story. Congratulations! Once again you have succeeded in realising peoples that the characters are connected to their real life. I liked your start of story in revolution 2020, all that child lunch box breaking ( I too use to do that, but never caught fortunately), boat rowing, Gopal's family problems. Gopal is lead character in your story. I am not able to understand why are you so obsessed with fatty peoples (you did mentioned Gopal hadn't flat stomach).  What was wrong with Ryan, Varoon, Ishan and this time Raghav? This are the probably potential character to be a lead character. Hmm,  peoples with flat stomach, muscular physique or crack crazy different thoughts are also existing (of course in low quantity). Probably I found the reason....

Naturally, everybody like to believe themselves a Hero. So you are thinking the same. You are trying prove, peoples who are lazy enough to not to exercise can prove themselves a Hero.  Hamm, fair enough. Man.. if  God didnt give you good height, at least try to compensate it with flat stomach and toned physique (see above).  I bet the day you will make it, you lead character will change. But mind it when  your novel get shaped into bollywood movie, your supporting characters become lead character.   For example, Rancho in 3 idiots, all characteristics were of Ryan, isnt it? Then you end up with fighting with producers that they didnt acknowledged you.. huh.... Its partially because they changed heart of story, a lead character.

Well about revolution 2020: Your have choose a right background of sub standard education and corruption  to fill 25% of novel where Gopal and Aarati are not there. Well, mentioned about Money machine Kota as education business. Okay... thats  all fine to add some salt to your novel.
          What I really appreciate is description of confused Aarti. It is realistic. A truly wavering, insecure, confused character that really resemble a girl fell between two boys who always see the grass greener on other side. This is the reason I am not putting you in trash, because I know well, to get such detail knowledge about girl, you must have worked and even suffered very hard :p Aarti tries her best to make Gopal accept the facts and maintain the balance but she hurts both men in process. After all boy brains! Girls could have handled in better way.  I am wondering about Raghv's hurt that's not mentioned.
          Like hollywood movies there will be surely 1-2 sex scenes in your story, in better words love making scenes (પ્રેમાલાપ દ્રશ્ય). Well, to describe Indian scenario, you  must have worked hard to gain knowledge of different types of love ( infidelity in this case). But still you can improve in this particular field. In  my school and college there were better such scene teller and writers (of course in toilets), I can forward their contacts to you if you want :D :D.
         At the end of story, it is always the corrupt and hopelessly in love Gopal that you empathise with and root for. This is what hurt me, why not Raghav ? Man,... you should get flat stomach as soon as possible and start to change over rolls in your next novels.

I am not going to reveal the whole plot and kill your joy of reading revolution 2020. Go and have read, It wont be waste of time.
