Yayati takes us through an exceedingly intricate journey of human emotions and way of thinking using a very simple story. The story of King Yayati, his wife Devyani and his lover Sharmista all present to us their
perspectives and the way they see everything in a turn based narration of events. One moment you'll hate Devyani and the other moment you'd feel that she is the most wronged character of all.
Not to mention, an interesting twist towards the end will wipe away all your fears of a cliched ending.
A recommended read. (
