I was wondering how much I would have found it tough to believe that this man or kid would become the Naseeruddin Shah we know if I had known him then. It's as if he kept his stature besides the book and wrote as matter-of-factly as he could. I greatly enjoyed the book.

Maybe because I had been expecting something almost as caustic and no-holds-barred as Naseeruddin Shah's memoir - which all the pre-publicity had led one to think Khullam Khulla would be like. But apart from not being sharply written (probably the co-writer's responsibility), the structure was so dull, with separate chapters about Villains, Leading Ladies, Rivals and so on. The first few pages of Neetu Singh's afterword were the most engaging parts of the book.

But I found Rishi Kapoor revealing a lot about his pop's affairs and not talking about anything of his own too convenient for the book to be called Khullam Khulla. I haven't read the book though. Otherwise, I admire Kapoor for being genuinely funny and a lot more open than celebs tend to bePessimist Foolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06057153008708242962noreply@blogger.com
