400 Days (2021): I know many will hate me for including Chetan Bhagat’s novel in this list. However, do remember that any author evolves with time and Chetan has done the same. Yes, you will find a few similar things in this novel as well but you will find certain differences as the author tries to shift his writing from the usual bedroom genre to an investigative team-up. Hope this offers you another side of the famous author.
