About the book
Hilarity ensues when a pair of estranged lovers teams up with a perennially sour scriptwriter to put a crazy plan into action Shobhna Ramakrishnan wakes up one muggy morning with the hangover of a queer dream. Mumbai – putrid hellhole of her nightmares – is at boiling point. The city’s youth is up in arms against fundamentalist homeboys. Sho’s head is on fire.Meanwhile, Udayan Doshi is on a long flight to Mumbai. Sitting in his lap is a film script that’s wrung him away from New York and a new love, back to his hometown and ex-lover.Sho’s got Uday involved in a bizarre plot that threatens to shake and stir the Mumbai film industry to its very core. At the heart of this scheming is a spectacular film script and a small-town stud boy with big attitude. In a single night of unexpected events, Sho and Uday revisit their relationship and together tumble into a hilarious, surreal world – where barbied men co-exist with alpha women in six-yard saris and artists with ‘cheeps’ on their shoulders dream of the impossible.
