The book How To Become A Billionaire By Selling Nothing, written by Aditya Magalis based on the egotistical investor and stock broker. The novel follows the breathtaking life, which can be convincingly termed as the ‘larger than life’ of a multi billionaire, who is also recognized as The Bull of Dalal Street – Sir Sri Jhunjhunwala!
Here in the book, it is mentioned that Mr. Jhunjhunwala is presented with a business proposal for investment in a company that produces an extraordinary product, “Nothing”! Faced with a ludicrous offer and a frantic man, Ramakant Shastri, Mr. Jhunjhunwala gives notice to the entrepreneur with a lakh of rupees for psychiatric help. Mr. Jhunjhunwala has a fun day, until it takes a turn for the worse and he ends up in the hospital where he is advised to have compulsory rest. After this rest holiday, Mr. Jhunjhunwala returns to his life where he finds himself in the middle of a hype over Nothing, only to have to suppress his ego and take the high road. What ensues is a fiasco with a law suit after law suit over patent plagiarism and environment endangerment.
The protagonist of this entire circus production is Ramakant Shastri and can be said as the brain behind Nothing. He is an overly ambitious person with an unmatched hunger for wealth and victory. His blindsided approach to business is what led to his end.
The author Aditya Magal has put in a considerable effort while delivering a caricature filled with sardonic jibes and humorous references. The book puts forth a straightforward and sometimes in-your-face depiction of the country, dragging along any and everyone who could be a potential candidate for charade. The book could have been a total roller coaster ride, if only written a little more dexterity and a little more subtlety would have been added to it. Here, there at various points where the mockery has been felt forced and unnecessary. Also, the author has incorporated a lot of exaggeration for the sake of laughter, which in contrary is felt as lengthy and troubling to the line of thought. The revelation of the master plan at an early stage made it anticlimactic, and took away the real essence. Undoubtedly, the character development is good and despite all super human exaggerations, all the characters, including Mr. Jhunjhunwala, are at the core, humans with very inbred reactions!
All in all, a good effort by a debut writer, who has given the society a good book for light mood. The book had a brilliant foundation and there is this line of thought that it could have been enormously sidesplitting, had it not tried too hard.
