A beautiful Illustrative story of the most loved and adored god in India 

I am not a mythology fan, but I have read Devdutt Pattanaik’s work before and he is excellent at narrating the tales in his own pretty fashion. Having being grown in India in a family that worships Krishna, the story of the god and his tales has been quite familiar. But when you get an illustration copy of this favourite writer to re-read the tale in a new way with a lot of facts stored in little boxes here and there – you sign up for it! That’s what I did!

A light read with intriguing writing style and funny random moments. The focus is on the police department with political influences and average characters carrying about the story!

Handed over to me as a part of new launch, the title of the book seemed interesting “The True Story of how Bihar’s most dangerous criminal was caught’ and the fact that it is going to be turned into a movie directed by Neeraj Pandey intrigued me.
