The only people this book will help, and thus targets, is young, lonely, teenage boys who have nobody else to ask, possibly don't know how to talk to girls and look at the entire gender as " the other". Full of cheesy one liners and stereotypes, like " If she doesn't sleep with you on the fifth date, leave" or, " if you won't marry her in 6 months, don't move in" or, the best, " never tell her how many women you've slept with" - this book literally is JUST clickbait for with absolutely no ACTUAL advice on gender dynamics or relationships🤦🏻‍♀️😂 I won't even comment on the underlying misogyny and typecasting of ALL women in one category. Forget that for a minute, boys, as a woman: THIS BOOK WILL NEVER HELP YOU GET AN INTELLIGENT WOMAN ( if at all ANY woman) The author is playing you based on your age, and inexperience. It makes you believe you have information to be "the suave guy" when you actually don't. "Game" cannot be taught and women cannot be categorised in a book. Please talk to actual women ( don't worry, we don't bite), make friends with them or even talk to any guys ( older ) who have been in good relationships who you trust. Scam boys, SCAM.

I understand that Radhika Apte plays Binodini, the tragic seductress in Chokher Bali, but making her a widow who roams around the house baring her back like that, in early 20th century Bengal , is a mockery of the times, and incredibly inaccurate. No widow would dress like that in the kind of family that is shown. In any family. Showing more skin than a prostitute of that age would. She is a widow, for Christ's sake: one of the most oppressed strata in the society of the time. That is THE last thing she would be allowed to do. The whole story revolves around how Binodini captivates Mahen. But atleast be historically accurate. And show that a woman can charm a man in many ways. Not just with her body.
