Review: “Mohini” is an interesting journey of a Star from her struggle to her stardom and her sudden collapse of his success. A very beautifully written by the Author. After reading the prologue itself, you are attracted towards the book and feel like reading it till the end. I as a reader was totally in hold by the book that could not stop till I finish the book. Each chapter has been so interesting just like a Bollywood masala movie. The language was so interesting that it created a strange impact on the readers. Mohini’s journey and her ups and down’s in the film industry was very smoothly mentioned by the author in the book which make you feel like finishing the book in one sitting. The climax was truly the harsh reality of the film industry, which very nicely written by the Author. There are some of the scenes in the book which really make me sad and hatred towards the film industry. I would Congratulate the Author for presenting before us the negative side of Film industry so effectively. I will recommend this to all the readers who want to read books in a fast read and are fascinated by the gossips and the beauty of the film industry. All the best Author.
