The Three Mistakes of My Life - Kai Po Che (Movie) by Chetan Bhagat


A third book by an emerging Indian Author, Chetan Bhagat. Chetan proves that he has become an veteran in this profession. After the success of previous two books, third book turns out not to be that great. Narration was fab, as always you would find in his books, but storyline was not that great. The movie "kai po che" is based on this book.

The 3 mistakes of my life Cover

The story is all about the three mistakes the narrator (Govind) commits in his life. A group of three friends (Govind, Ishaan, Omi) with extremely different character and dreams, faces new aspects of life. The book takes you through the problems in family, riots in the city, etc. This Book has an essence of Indian Culture and how the youths are affected by it. Chetan has tried to put a light on these issues by writing a good book. The story takes us through riot killings, betrayel in friendship, love with best friend's sister, in short a book containing great twist & turns.

It is Good book but turns out not to be as great as previous two. A good narration is a plus point for it while the dramatic angles of story turn out to be pretty similar to bollywood movies. In all can be read once.
