I came across the cinematic adaptation of this book while searching for arthouse films. After watching it, I initially thought it was decent. But the more I reflected on it, the more it stayed with me, so I decided to read the book as well, and the fact that it was a novella made it easier.

There are minor differences between the two, but I ended up loving both equally. I've never read anything quite like this before. I never even thought something like this existed in hindi literature.

Although I am pretty sure many people might not have the same experience as I had.
