A proper 'Cinematic Novel'
This novel will give a feel of watching a movie among the readers.I felt like I was actually reading the visuals and a movie was going on in my mind. It goes in a third person percepective and doesn't explores the thoughts of any characters in different situations.
From the title I thought it was going to cover a romance genre. But it was a roller coaster of emotions with romance as a small element. The plot was so good that it explored evolution of many characters not just the protagonist but all the side characters , series of incidents (Sri Lankan Civil War) and of course the setting, Chennai was excellently established by the author.
