10 reviews for Longest Kiss: The Life and Times of Devika Rani

  1. Rahul Gitte

    While I enjoyed learning about Devika Rani’s contributions, I found the book to be a bit disorganized. It jumped around in time, which made it confusing at times.

  2. Navya Dham

    I had mixed feelings about this book. It was informative, but I didn’t connect with Devika Rani on a personal level. Something felt missing, but still good.

  3. Roshan Antony

    Devika Rani was truly ahead of her time! This book sheds light on her incredible achievements and the challenges she faced. Highly recommended!

  4. Pyla Venkat Chaitanya

    A fascinating glimpse into the life of Devika Rani. The book is well-researched, but I felt it lacked a certain depth in exploring her personal struggles. Overall, an interesting read.

  5. Dheeraj Yadav

    A decent biography, but it felt a little too academic for my taste. I would have liked more anecdotes and personal stories. The price is not justifiable.

  6. Naman Pamnani

    A well-written and engaging biography! Kishwar Desai does a fantastic job of capturing Devika Rani’s essence. I couldn’t put it down! Highly recommend.

  7. Abhay Kumar Maurya

    An okay biography. I learned a lot about early Indian cinema, but the writing style didn’t fully grab me. It felt a little dry at times. Still informative, though.

  8. Vanshaj Bharia

    This biography is a must-read for anyone interested in Indian film history. Devika Rani’s story is both inspiring and heartbreaking.

  9. Nikita Chauhan

    I was captivated by Devika Rani’s story! Kishwar Desai brings her to life with vivid detail. Though, some parts felt a bit slow. A must-read for cinema lovers.

  10. Madhav Sharma

    I loved learning about Devika Rani’s life and legacy! This book is well-written, researched, and utterly captivating. It’s a shame so little is known about her.
