  1. Abhinav Yadav

    A good introduction to Indian theatre. Some plays resonated more than others. ‘Where Did I Leave My Purdah?’ is very strong. I enjoyed Dattani’s unique voice.

  2. Ishika Arya

    Found the themes interesting, but the execution was uneven. Some plays felt rushed. Overall, a decent read with some flaws. Good attempt by Dattani.

  3. Anshuman Vipul

    A wonderful exploration of complex social issues. Dattani’s writing is sharp and insightful. This is a must-read for theatre lovers. I recommend.

  4. Soumya Saini

    I appreciated the themes explored, but the writing style wasn’t always my cup of tea. It was thought provoking and made me think.

  5. Souvik Das

    Some plays were excellent, while others fell flat. The strong ones made it worth reading. It was good but could have been better though.

  6. Subhajoy Datta

    Dattani’s themes are bold, but the plays felt a bit dated. ‘Purdah’ was powerful, but ‘Big Fat City’ less so. An interesting read overall. I expected more.

  7. Dewangana Singh

    Dattani tackles important issues head-on. ‘The Big Fat City’ felt a little disjointed. It was hard to follow. But overall, a worthwhile collection.

  8. Shafaq Qureshi

    ‘Purdah’ is haunting and unforgettable. The other plays are also good but don’t leave the same mark. Dattani is a talented writer, a must read book.

  9. Kartikey Singh

    Dattani’s plays offer a unique perspective. Some parts felt preachy at times. ‘Purdah’ is definitely the highlight, worth reading for that alone.

  10. Devaguptapu Venkata Sarath Chandra

    Dattani is a master storyteller! The plays are engaging and thought-provoking. I was captivated from beginning to end. Highly recommend this book. I loved it.

  11. Darshit Navinbhai Kanani

    A powerful collection of plays! Dattani’s courage to address difficult topics is commendable. The storytelling is great, and the narrative is superb.

  12. Lakshyaa Anand

    Dattani’s plays are a window into contemporary India. Some dialogues seemed unnatural. Overall, a valuable contribution to theatre though.

  13. Sonesh Balajirao Jadhav

    A mixed bag of emotions and experiences. Dattani’s talent is evident, but not all plays are equally strong. Not bad, an okayish read.
