A Silent Takeover By Sarvananda Chandrashekaraiah — Book Review
The story opens, while celebrating the 50th birthday of a superstar Raajkumar. While answering in an interview about his field romantic relationships he enters a verbal Spat with the media and decides to take a vacation from work.
Suhasini a journalist intern is asked to interview him, and while conducting research about Raj she discovers a strange pattern about his ex-girlfriend like they either got mentally unstable or died under mysterious circumstances.
What I found while reading was the storyline was quite underdeveloped and there was no suspense, as anticipated.
The opening few chapters of the book are not related are more like a Bollywood movie. While reading this book, there were times when I lost attention because the storyline wasn’t matching the plot.
The novel was more like a Bollywood script, with a star who is suspected of Murder, a police investigation bound with a script which looks like a Hindi film plot.
