Reading Karan Johar’s autobiography is like watching one of his films. It has family, drama, entertainment, tragedy, heartbreak, emotions (I was moved to tears more than a few times) and one of the things which his films are now catching up with – candidness.
What’s not to like :
– Second half of the book where the tale of his friendships become sort of a drab especially his love affairs that sound like some shallow irrelevant high school drama which ended abruptly.
– Too many opinions on love and marriage while his own experience wrapped up in 4 lines.
What’s to like :
– The chatty & humorous tone which is like being on one of his episodes of Koffee with Karan.
– Honest narration of his bond with his parents and how the tragic death of his father changed him forever.
– Quoting the incidents about childhood, teenage, adulthood and his journey of dealing with insecurities about weight, sexuality & failures.
– His take on life and some lines that stay with you like ‘Awareness is a disease’ and that the only way to pierce a thought in this country is by planting it with humour.
P.S. Read it only if you are a KJo fan.
Rating – 3.5/5 Shades
