Book review:

The pandemic hit the whole world in one way or another. After reading so many books on COVID-19, memoirs or stories covering a certain group of people, I was curious to know how the film industry, television stars, and people who are related were affected by this. Suddenly my eye fell upon this new book by Puneet Sikka. Take No. 2020 is a gripping and intriguing read. It takes the reader on a journey of life's battles in this film industry.

The story incorporates components of sentiment, spine chiller, battles, and contemporary subjects. The change between subjects in this book was smooth, and it was undeniably challenging, if certainly feasible, to foresee the plot while understanding it. Albeit the story includes battles connected with the post-and after-Coronavirus period, which might appear to be natural, this book remarkably presents them and unexpectedly hits us.

This book is about Meera, a hopeful entertainer attempting to break into the Bollywood entertainment world, a well-known TikToker who has flopped in his own and professional life, a projecting mentor who likewise deals with issues in her work life, and so on. She is caught in the IT area in Chennai, whereas Dabloo, who was likewise attempting to get projected,.

Micky Taneja, who, out of nowhere, got ensnared in a snare of claims that can destroy his picture; and Jayesh, who's a Tiktok star with 10,000 fans. As the paths of these strugglers collide, broken relationships pave the way for new ones. It is intriguing to read who is the real hero or villain of his own story of life. 

Every one of the primary characters in this story works in some type of media outlet. While I was reading the initial pages, I thought it was a spine chiller; however, later it was uncovered to be about a film tryout, and I never anticipated that curve. I adored the advances of feelings in this book. Since Meera is from Chennai, a couple of Tamil words are involved to a great extent in the book, and their implications are given toward the finish of the page.

Sikka's controlled personal covering permits readers to step into the shoes of artistes, wannabes, spotboys, and the jobless, all exploring the wild lockdown. The rich jargon and clear rewording make striking mental pictures, making this original a read, however, a visual encounter. The book is fresh and quick-moving with a simple and clear portrayal. 

Overall, "Take No. 2020" is more than a novel; it mirrors our aggregate battles, expectations, and changes during an uncommon time. As we turn its pages, we wind up gesturing in acknowledgment, sympathizing with the ups and downs of these characters. I found it fascinating and enrapturing simultaneously. I prescribe this book to youthful personalities who think life is extreme.
