Chetan Ban Gaya Scripwriter

 Chetan Ban Gaya ScripwriterChetan Bhagat is at it again. Why? Maybe even the almighty God doesn’t know. The author is penning a script for Ashtavinayak Films, the production house that gave us super-hits like Golmaal and Jab We Met and super duds like Kidnap and Super Star.

Why is he doing this? Hasn’t he seen the disaster that is ‘Hello’?

Someone should sit him down and give him a lecture on his writing skills. True he wrote one good book- Five Point Someone (which btw is being adapted to a silver screen version, ‘Three Idiots’ by Raju Hirani). Everything he’s written after that has been a disgrace to the name of literature!

Some may argue that One Night was a commercial success. Ask any literary critic and you will find a million reasons why the book is bad. As for ‘Three Mistakes of My Life’, let’s just say that was the biggest mistake of Bhagat’s life.

On the other hand, maybe he’ll prove us all wrong by writing a brilliant screenplay. For the sake of Indian Cinema, let’s hope he does…
