Books:

Godaan: 4.5/5

Munshi Premchand is a genius and Godaan is a masterpiece!
Godaan is a political novel, and there are pages where Premchand actually puts forth his thoughts about social injustice and reforms , but generally he concentrates more on recounting the lives of these many characters and showing by example.
As one of my friend says "Premchand's novels touch you to the core, because he writes the truth...only the naked truth!!"


Movies:

The movie is one of the better hindi movies that have released of late. There is nothing new in the story, but the presentation is fresh and the cast has done a good job.

The usual Rajat Kapoor and gang, in yet another lively comedy.. not as a good as Bheja fry..but worth a watch.
