'Manohar Kahani' book review: A thrilling read that makes one revisit a time when chaos seemed enjoyable
New Indian ExpressGrowing up watching Abbas Mastan’s movies was a great way to add some action to a calm weekend. Reading Raghu Srinivasan’s Manohar Kahani makes one revisit a time when chaos seemed enjoyable. Kalyani and Bambi were finally living the life they wished for A storm, however, comes knocking when a rich NRI from Africa wants to buy Kokum Grove. Manohar Kahani has a strong foundation with clearly etched characters—a strong-willed entrepreneurial woman, her occultist absent-minded husband, their goody two shoes son, her resourceful and cunning sister, a wealthy obnoxious NRI guy and his stepdaughter, who is eager to revolt against him. The underlying message is that of how big financers take over businesses and other resources like land from unsuspecting people to then resell at inflated prices once an upcoming developmental project is finished.
