Another day and another graphic novel down, I do love comics and really applaud Graphic India team to try to work on different story lines and ideas. But I guess it's about time that you stopped collaborating with Deepak Chopra. The Art work is wonderful but the spiritual mumbo-jumbo is here and there. Story is fragmented, with abrupt end like others said and more coming in next paragraph.
Once again it's a story with a White Hero, Another story where a White Man saves the day. The storyline could have been much better but alas! what's the point in crying over spilled milk. This looks like that it wasn't a single book but a volume of individual issues which most of comic publishers do and it suffers from the same issue where the next issue may not continue the story or the flow might be totally different. I have read the graphic novels which tell a single story even from the house of Graphic India and those efforts were better, still I am happy and only troubling fact is that this was released way back in 2014 with few sequels later which I would be reading next but what new content are they working on in 2019? I think I have bought all their work well most of it for sure but are they still releasing new stuff?
Well I for one surely wish that they are still active and that they keep on pushing themselves to work on new and innovative storylines which are just not another rehash of same storylines from our past or from outside India :) I liked and loved the work done by GI team but more needs to be done to ensure that we have more and varied stories to tell all the readers.
I have always loved comics, and I hope that I will always love them. Even though I grew up reading local Indian comics like Raj Comics or Diamond Comics or even Manoj Comics, now's the time to catch up on the international and classic comics and Graphic novels. I am on my quest to read as many comics as I can. I Love comics to bit, may comics never leave my side. I loved reading this and love reading more, you should also read what you love and then just Keep on Reading.

Artwork is gorgeous. Story’s a little simplistic and the dialogue can be a little stilted and odd, but I enjoyed it. Good to see the degree of professionalism in Indian graphic novels.

It was on my shelf for a long time and I finally managed to finish it yesterday
The ending was underwhelming and I felt let down. The story was interesting (with some spiritual jargon thrown in) and the artwork (by J.Kang) was first-class. Full marks for production quality as well.
Graphic India has been around for a long time but somehow they've not managed to carve a place for themselves in the Indian graphic novel industry.Distribution is one issue as their graphic novels are not easily available

Decent art work but honestly the story telling was very sub-par. Very fragmented narrative, a vague/abrupt ending and generally a lack of well developed plot let down what could have been a great graphic novel (or even series I dare say!)

It was decent, but certainly not among the best.

Great illustration, fair story
Even though it is a graphic novel, the characterization is a little over the too. The story is a bit shallow but interesting.
