Book Review: Maharaja in Denims by Khushwant Singh

I picked up Maharaja in Denims after hearing that Twenty21 Studios and Intelliflicks Studios are co-producing one of the first AI-generated feature films based on it. Naturally, the buzz pulled me in.

The story follows Hari, a Chandigarh teen who believes he is the reincarnation of Maharaja Ranjit Singh and also recalls memories of the 1984 anti-Sikh riots. This mix of past life regression, history, and politics makes for an unusual premise. The book ambitiously weaves in events like 9/11, 26/11, and Punjab’s legacy, but the execution often feels rushed.

Too much lust, scattered history, and uneven pacing dilute the impact, though Singh’s effort to reimagine Ranjit Singh in today’s times is worth noting. The twist at the end surprises but doesn’t fully satisfy.

Overall, it’s a quick read—more intriguing for its premise than for polished storytelling.

  Year 2025 | Book 7/52 Book Review: House of Doctors by Tripti Sharan House of Doctors  takes readers through the rigorous and emotional journey of a medical student, from MBBS to post-graduation in Obstetrics and Gynecology. Set in  Gwalior , the book resonated with me even more due to my personal connection with the city. Written in a simple, engaging style, the book documents real-life experiences with a mix of  humor, heartbreak, and inspiration . While the details may seem routine to doctors, they offer a  fascinating peek into the making of a doctor for lay readers. It sheds light on the  challenges, sacrifices, and resilience  of medical students—something we rarely consider as patients. An  easy, anecdotal read , this book is perfect for those curious about the medical world beyond hospital visits. Whether you’re a doctor or not, it’s a compelling and insightful journey worth exploring. #HouseOfDoctors #MedicalJourney #DoctorLife #Gwalior...

Your imagination shapes your reality - You are enough to change your life by yourself.  Knowing & Accepting Yourself - Accept yourself first, enjoy your company to allow others to accept you.  Regular dates with your mind - There is a freedom in knowing yourself. Untag Yourself (Be undefinable) - Detach the tags that you and the world have attached to your soul.  Give rest to your mind.  Start defining things for yourself.
