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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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