Hell, people have even discussed his sex scenes on public platforms, raising the question why other Indian writers hesitate to write these scenes unlike ' that in Chetan Bhagat's books'.īhagat's books that have been made into films, post the success of Aamir Khan-starrer 3 Idiots, have mostly performed well at the box office. Bhagat has chosen his target audience and knows how to please them, be it with crass Hindi one-liners that get him applause from the frustrated lot or explicit lovemaking - Chetan-corrected to sex - scenes to hold his readers in awe. That he is the average Indian's Shakespeare is a fact beyond debate. His books have nearly always sold like hot cakes, putting every other new release to shame in the week-month-year it hits the shelves. The malaise of self-praise might be looked down upon in the world of literature, but for this bard, it has only reaped benefits. But then, as he himself says in his book Half Girlfriend, a person willing to speak in proper English should 'start by reading simple English novels, like the ones by that author Chetan Bhagat'.
Now all of us who have read any semblance of proper literature, would agree with the fact that Chetan Bhagat's books are unpalatable at best and horrifying at worst.
