4.0 out of 5 starsA light read | Simple yet interesting story
Reviewed in India 🇮🇳 on 14 February 2018
Hello All …. Before going deep into the review of The Malhotra Bride by Sundari Venkatraman, I would like to congratulate the Author for her efforts. Every Literary work is unique in itself and the review given below is an honest result of my understanding and must not be taken otherwise.

Let’s quickly go through the ratings

Title : 4/5
Cover : 4/5
Blurb : 2.5/5
Plot : 3.5/5
Language Used : 4/5
Presentation : 3/5
Overall : 3.5/5

About the Book : The story revolves around a girl named Sunita Rishi and a boy named Akshay Malhotra. Born and brought up in a traditional and typical Rishi family Sunita's father wants her to get married as she is approaching 21. Though she is not against getting married, she is concerned about her career and freedom which has never been her father's priority. She feels depressed with the idea of getting married and felt worse as she does not have any say in matters related to her own life. Akshay is a successful businessman and helps his father to run the family business. Akshay almost skipped a beat hearing his father about his marriage proposal. Blessed with a charming personality he thinks of wedding to be an end to his freedom. Families of both Sunita Rishi and Akshay Malhotra are ready to tie knots while Sunita has her plans to simply make the boy say "NO" to her. What would be the result of their meeting? Would she become "The Malhotra Bride"? Find out by reading this novel.

About Writing : Sundari Venkatraman has crafted the story very well by keeping it simple yet interesting. The choice of subject is noteworthy as almost every reader can relate and connect to the story without any difficulty. One of the best things about her writing is that she has kept the flow and tone of the story remarkably smooth and understandable. There is no denying the fact that once you start reading this novel you won't be able to put it down. The story is not thrilling and adventure driven rather it is soothing to mind and one can read the whole story in one go . Its magic of her words and plots which places a permanent smile on one's face while reading and makes one feel the emotions involved in the story. No doubt the author has written each word from depth of her hearth and has poured her experience and wit in the story. I enjoyed reading this novel very much. Though there is nothing unpredictable about the story but even that has it own charm which adds value to it. The word usage is decent and every chapter makes you feel good while you read it. All the characters are beautifully sketched and are believable. One can simply relate each character to people around in the society.

The theme of the novel makes the reader understand the concept of love and importance of knowing one's partner. It is the understanding between the couple that matters the most. Giving respect and importance to partner's thoughts, dreams and ideologies makes the couple understand each other which further strengthens their relationship.

Critical Review:
1. The blurb of the story does not suggest the whole idea of the novel.
2. The novel is a light read and portrays just one side of the so called "Marriage Fears".
3. It offers too less to change reader's perception about marriage.

Despite all critical views, the words and story seem to come out from depth of Author’s heart and her effort is appreciable. I once again congratulate her and wish her luck for her future endeavors.

1.0 out of 5 stars A very boring book.
Reviewed in India 🇮🇳 on 27 December 2020
A very boring book with unrealistic situation and circumstances. Description of scenes seemed forced and not natural. Cover of book made it looked like its some cheap time pass material and same thing was revealed in the book. Author could do so much better but she miserably failed to do it. Save your precious time and do not read this book. I left the book mid way.

1.0 out of 5 stars Boring – No Very Very Boring
Reviewed in India 🇮🇳 on 5 August 2016
Boring – No Very Very Boring
There is hardly any connection with Title of the book “The Malhotra Bride” and the story. The title gives an impression that it would be a story of Malhotra bride after wedding but it hardly is the case. A rich Casanova Akshay is persuaded by his parents to go for arranged marriage with a beautiful Sansakri girl Sunita. The girl with a pure Desi Heart doesn’t want to get married but later agrees for a three year contract marriage. Finally fall in love with the hunk. Anil Kappor and Sri Devi’s Ladala comes to mind. There are lots of serials like that have come up on television with similar story. There is lot of loose ends.

There is no twist and turn in the story.
First Meeting – Akashy & Sunita go for drive in Audi
Second Meeting - Go out for a ride on BMW Bike
Third Meeting – A home ( Don’t think much –No spark Flies)
Fourth Meeting - Meets in Office
Five Meeting - Audi (Hero Got Shot. Who & Why he is shot remains mystery? Perhaps will be revealed in the next part?

Finally, gets married after a predicable drama you see in Bollywood movies.

Final Verdict:

Give it a skip. It is a very boring book.

This book felt as if it was written for an high school creative writing class. It lacked any sort of description. In fact, I rolled my eyes every time the author described Akshay as a "hunk" or when she described Sunita with her "slight figure". This story did not pull me in, did not transport me to the setting of this novel, nor did I empathize with the characters. Essentially the author wrote her idealized Bollywood story. There was no depth of character, no depth of scene, no depth of story, and certainly, no depth in the ending. The story was presented as a Bollywood movie - sweet, angelic, innocent heroine, dashing, self-assured, rich hero. The hero falls in love at first sight. The couple meet, dance around, sing some songs. The hero gets into trouble (innocently, of course, because he's a hunk, who's of excellent character). The heroine nurses him back to health, and is willing to sacrifice everything for the hero. Enter the "bad guy" - her father. Sprinkle in the wise grandfather, useless mother, and even more useless older sister. Everything is resolved within one page; the father feeling ashamed at his own father's magnanimous behavior. The contract being ripped to shreds by both lovers. End of story. The only problem was there was no story. There was no heart to this tale; nothing new, no growth. I could not have hated this book more than I did.
