400 Days

by Chetan Bhagat

12-year-old Siya has been missing nine months. It’s a cold case, but Keshav wants to help her mother, Alia, who refuses to give up. Welcome to 400 Days—a mystery and romance story like no other.

‘My daughter Siya was kidnapped. Nine months ago,’ Alia said.

The police had given up. They called it a cold case. Even the rest of her family had stopped searching.

Alia wouldn’t stop looking, though. She wanted to know if I could help her.

Hi, I am Keshav Rajpurohit and I am a disappointment to everyone around me. I live with my parents, who keep telling me how I should a) get married, b) focus on my IPS exams, c) meet more people and d) close my detective agency.

But Alia Arora, neighbour and ex-model, wanted my help. And I couldn’t take my eyes off her face … I mean, her case.

Welcome to 400 Days. A mystery and romance story like none other. An unputdownable tale of suspense, human relationships, love, friendship, the crazy world we live in and, above all, a mother’s determination to never give up.

From India’s highest-selling author comes a page-turner that will not only keep you glued to the story but also touch you deeply.

Reviews

[Sandy · Rating 1 out of 5]

If there ever was a Chetan Bhagat whodunnit checklist, this would be it

1. A character who deserves to be fatshamed
2. One of the main characters is South Indian
3. All the other characters are North Indian upper caste, who revel in their wealth and class
4. Overweight stereotypical Indian aunties
5. Adult sons in their 30s who live with said stereotypical Indian aunties who think it’s perfectly normal for their mothers to ask them to take a bath in the middle of the day.
6. The only characters who are clear headed or wield any power are men
7. A pathetically written sex scene that ends with the most laughable line “her fingers dug into my back as both of us finished at the same time” (Do men really think this is possible?)
8. Zero character arc development
9. Unlimited woes about the problems that upper caste North Indian men face.

If you enjoy any of these and are looking for a lazy read to kill some time, please read 400 days.

[Vikas Singh · Rating 5 out of 5]

Ever since he shifted from the mushy, college-based love stories, he is bettering himself every time. One Arranged Murder was his first major thriller and it was racy. But with 400 days he has shifted gears and delivered another great hit. The plot is based out of Gurgaon and Fort Kochi and as NCR oldie, I could identify with most of the places. The pace picks up right from Page-1 and before you realize you are hooked to the plot. Chetan’s fab understanding of the Indian culture and its mechanizations make the book a great read.

Another blockbuster success. Keep them coming

[Amartya Gupta · Rating 4 out of 5]

Continuing with his usual pattern, Chetan Bhagat has written a perfect timepass book. The plot is meant to be enjoyed with a cold coffee on a lazy weekend or while travelling to home after a busy day.

There are no layered story weaving or intricate plot twists. But it still manages to entertain the reader. Written lucidly with big helpings of Bollywood style, this book has again presented a simple, carefree writing style to the reader.

In this book, detective Keshav Rajpurohit makes a comeback, with his laidback inquisitive style peppered with an endearing charm. Along with his trusted friend Sourabh, the duo work on solving a child kidnapping case. After Keshav decides to take up the case on the request of the beautiful Alia, mother of the missing daughter - the story takes a quick pace. The author takes the reader through an easygoing romantic thriller.

Chetan Bhagat has mastered a style of story telling that feels very light but is packed with an entertaining plot.
A good read for a timepass day!

Where do I even start ? Please bear with me rant ahead.
Chetan Bhagat in recent years have made quite a good recipe in writing "Whudunnit" genre of mystery thriller. So in that regard the story was good n hence the one star.
But Bhagat being Bhagat, he will forcefully try to imbibe sex and relationships, and i really don't understand being an inspiring figure in the literary n youth circle in India what he gets out of his stereotypical representation of youth, relationships,and Indian culture in general.
It's really a wonder how each n every so called female love interest of his stories are milk fair skinned drop dead gorgeous stereotypical women, and all his male protagonists as creepy immature man child who never had any female interaction, I wonder if it's the insecurity of the author or his narrow pathetic view stemming from his own life.
His language - sighs.
Too many plot holes. Zero character development, characters contradict themselves.
And lastly the anger I feel whenever certain writers who have in ground no real research or idea about upsc preparation when they talk about it, it just gets my blood boiling. In toto just a below average read, from a writer who applied the same formula over and over again without any real mark of growth in terms of language or story. Just projecting his own stereotyping insecure dumb view of india.

[Ankush Agarwal · Rating 1 out of 5]

The story runs like a 3rd-grade thriller movie. CB loves to write in the first person, but changing the narrator without warning was plain confusing. He seems to be trying to create a new detective hero with a sidekick, but readers do not stay with a detective hero who just gets lucky.

Moreover, the characters are not believable and un-relatable and the story veers off too much from the central plot. To be more appreciated by his critics, CB has started to describe his characters' appearances and room settings, etc; but he seems to be doing it just for the sake of it - Ex. A concerned mother whose daughter has just gone missing will not describe the policeman's potbelly OR a mother who just learned something highly disturbing about the daughter is appearing to be engaging in casual sex.

CB writes better when he is himself - 5PS is still his best work.

[Saumya · Rating 3 out of 5]

It is glad to see that the writer has ventured further into the crime detective fiction. He was successful in his last attempt. This one was not upto the mark of the previous one but still it was a good try till he tried to turn into a movie adaptation. The climax of the plot was too dramatic and impractical. There was romance element too but it was too superficial and selfish for the reader to be interested in. The characters were well developed and had personality. It was one of the good things. The story is nothing new but the writing keeps the reader engaged. Writer is better at crime detective fiction than romance. He should try it more but with better stories.

32nd Book of 2021

So, some writers stay with you for long even when they don’t impress you every time they write. Chetan Bhagat has become one such author for me as I have been involved with his books since he wrote his 1st one. It is because of him that I got acquainted with many Indian fiction authors and I respect him for whatever revolution he has brought in the literary and book world in India. His latest book released 3 days back and the hidden fan within me couldn’t stop himself from reading this 352-pages book after office hours. The title of the book goes by the name “400 Days” which is published by Westland publication.

This time the book is not about the murder mystery but an abduction case where a girl is missing and again – the case reaches the private detectives- Keshav and Saurabh. I really liked the start of the book as author takes us into the story and characters slowly. Till the time the case doesn’t reach the Bhagat’s detective protagonists, you just love the way characters are introduced and the story being taken further. As soon as Keshav and Saurabh enters, the story gets a push initially where they start applying their brain and bring things in a better state than where it was after the police investigation. Though I believe that police are shown in quite bad light by Chetan in his thriller stories but still, I must say that the way detectives are shown working on the case gives some justice to them.

As the story moves forward, Chetan doesn’t want it to be all about the thriller case only. He is quite Bollywood-ish and filmy hence you’ll find his fitter detective falling for his client and ending up getting emotionally connected with her and the case. Now, this affects the pace of the story because sometimes it ends up as a romantic angle more than the thriller aspect. Even though the whole section is enjoyable and relaxing, it starts irritating the curious reader in you who wants to know the person behind the abduction of the 12 years old girl. If you see both these plots separately, I must tell you that it’s great but the way it comes in between of the engaging mystery solving spree, it impacts your interest in the thriller.

There are few aspects that Chetan has tried to counter in his book, and I must say he is quite successful as it gets noticed – the reason why I am also mentioning it here in the review. How the modern relationships are broken even when it’s all fine in the people’s eye is represented so nicely. Similarly, the dilemma and problems when one thinks of getting divorced is given prominence which I believe is responsible attempt from the author because it could have been skipped to show the glamorous part of leaving someone just because you don’t want to continue anymore in the toxic relationship. I also liked how well Chetan has handled extra-marital affair rather than mentioning it just as multiple sexual encounters between two people.

He also reflects on how the children gets affected because of experiencing regular fights and arguments at home. Their psychology gets completely disturbed due to it. The consideration of saas-bahu angle and how a boy gets confused about whom to give more importance between mother and wife is given lot of prominence in this story which I believe is fine to discuss as this is a major issue in many Indian households. How social media can lead to big crimes or damages in a normal family is highlighted as the major takeaway which I believe should be a concern for modern parents who just give mobile phone to their kids and never check what they are up to. Similarly, how blind faith on someone can lead to your victimization is given prominence in the story. So, Chetan has basically tried to touch upon many social concerns which I believe has been executed properly. Lastly mentioning, the fitness spirit of Saurabh in this part of the Detective series tells us how rather than accepting your bad shape, we should get up and improve our lifestyle, habits and try getting into shape rather than crying about being body shamed.

Talking about the climax and revelation of the criminal, I must say that Chetan has again missed the jackpot here. You just can’t keep speaking about half dozen characters in your whole book and suddenly introduce someone new in the pre-climax and make him the culprit. This is the easiest way of writing a thriller. There’s no talent here. In fact, it should surprise the reader at the end that I never thought he/she could have done this. This book doesn’t give those vibes at all. Though I liked how the romantic story between Keshav and Alia is given a beautiful ending which actually made me feel emotional.

Overall, I found this book very stretchy. It could have been shorter by 100 pages. I give this attempt 3.5* out of 5. It is an okay read but nothing that will make you put this in one of the best books read this year.

Thanks.

WRITING BUDDHA

[Declan Melia · Rating 1 out of 5]

Without a trace rendered without any taste.

Keshav is a 30-year-old amateur detective living with his parents in India. He is unlucky in love and being bugged by his parents to get his life together and get a real job. He is retained by the beautiful Alia who is determined to locate her daughter who disappeared a few months ago. Keshav takes the case and so follows an adventure of family resentments, online sex rings, extra marital sex, and fat shaming his best friend.

This was unbearably bad. The plot of a twelve-year-old girl being abducted by a paedophile is so unsuited to the young adult writing style it’s almost insulting. The coupling of light-hearted scenes aiming for sit-com familiarity with flippant, insensitive exploration of class, sexuality, and rape is such an air-ball that I’m surprised a printing house went near it. There are issues in this book that could only be explored by the most skilled of writers. Bhagat is no such writer.

Worse, there was something hypocritical about this novel. The surface ideology attempts to be anti-misogynist (such a brave stance to take) but some of the descriptions of female children were overtly sexual. Perhaps Mr Bhagat is in a stage of arrested development. The whole thing reads like an incel fantasy.

I am glad I borrowed and did not buy this book. Not only do I not want to support the creation of such mediocre fiction, I understand that Bhagat is an outspoken supporter of Modi’s vision for the BJP. Yet another distasteful layer to a thoroughly distasteful novel. I suppose it was easy to read, but there is nothing between these covers worth reading. One to avoid absolutely.

Let me say one thing.



This was a meaaaaaaaan book. And I'll explain what I mean.

I feel so bad for the characters when the one thing they have been looking forward to for the entire book is taken away from them - I just want to hug 'em, you know? So sad.

Anyway, this was a great thriller of a book without somehow being a thriller. It was a good mystery and I loved the way It was set up. Amazing job ;)

Characters were on point and just a great book!

[Umesh Kesavan · Rating 2 out of 5]

After initial successes, the best-selling author was saddled with lack of creativity and was forced to cook sugary romances with socio-political commentary for dessert. Then, he resorted to whodunnits with an upper caste Holmes and a fatso as Watson. This formula actually worked as his crime plots were grounded in contemporary upper-class Indian society providing a window to how India lives even as the crime detection happened in parallel. Unfortunately, this new book lacks the thrills, the red herrings are too obvious and the romance (like in all his other novels) is an excuse for sex. Chetan Bhagat has potential to write Bollywood screenplays but unfortunately, the number of copies his novels sell (contributed to by this reviewer, as well) make him still believe that having a story plot is literature.

[Manisha · Rating 2 out of 5]

Too diluted narration. The story is going at snail's pace. Even after reading 60 pages, only two things established. I prefer crisp stories. So, left it mid-way.

[PeaceOfGod]

Dnf at 4%.

🛑Reason- Lost interest.

😟Me , when I read that this is another Keshav-Golu novel-





This is my own thoughts and opinions , do not get offended please . Or better yet , don't read it if you can't handle other's opinion.--

#️⃣First of all , Chetan B. is NOT GOOD WITH MYSTERY THRILLER NOVELS.

There. I said it.

#️⃣After 'The Girl in Room 105' , NONE of the books of Keshav-Golu duo have been gripping enough.

#️⃣I think that college romances and N/A , Y/A are his best ...... zones . Outside of which ......




#️⃣And , I am NOT AT ALL saying that Chetan is not talented. On the contrary , Chetan is in my Top 10 best author of all times list. He is on the 2nd number btw , 1st is Paulo Coelho.

#️⃣Chetan is ...... UNLIKE any author that I have read , and I've read PLENTY.

#️⃣His novels are just so.... realistic and so ..... down-to-earth , that I don't feel like I am reading it, I feel like I am living it.


#️⃣But , just like everyone else , I think Chetan has certain limitations.

#️⃣After 'TGIR105' , his novels have spiraled down QUICKLY.

#️⃣Others might be enjoying it, but I didn't , AT ALL.

#️⃣When It comes to family-drama-suspense , Novoneel Chakraborty handles it in a better way.

#️⃣The ..... suspense and the ......... plot was..... very low key. The writing style wasn't bad , but it's just that he picked the wrong scenario to write something on.

#️⃣I think if he had invested that energy in writing another N/A , Y/A romance , it would have been WAY better .

#️⃣I mean , NONE of the romance novels I have read till date , have been able to beat '2 STATES' , it's THAT good.

#️⃣And , PLEASE do NOT get me started on 'One night at the call center'. Did you know that I read that book at least 4 times a year ? there isn't a line and dialogue that I don't remember of that book.

#️⃣Chetan B. books are next level .

#️⃣But , sadly , this ..... suspense thriller does not suit him.


#️⃣I REALLY enjoyed girl in room 105 , it was adventurous , shocking , a little amusing , and jaw-dropping .

#️⃣But , after that? 'The marriage murder.'? Nope. '400 Days'? Nuh-uh. It was written like a ...... it felt forced , the whole situations and people and the mystery . EVERYTHING felt deliberate . The flow wasn't smooth.

#️⃣THE ENERGY WAS ABSENT FROM THE BOOK. in the past whenever I read a CB book , there was a ......... there was an emotional connection that unknowingly was formed made b/w me and the book , but , all the latest one feel bland and distasteful.


#️⃣I won't be reading the next book if it features Keshav and Golu again . These things become tiresome after sometime.

[Jawahar Surti · Rating 3 out of 5]

Well, Picked this up, read it and was finished in a couple of days. I knew before I picked it up that it was going to be another Bollywood type of story with less substance. But I have liked Bhagat's style of writing and the reading is smooth, fast and time-pass. He never try to portray himself as a writer with depth. He wrote for the general Indian population, the youngsters and he has succeeded in doing that whatever others may say.

This time the story - no, actually 2 stories - are about 1) a kidnapping of a 12 year old Siya & 2) her beautiful ex-model mother Alia who seeks help from investigator Keshav Rajpurohit and in turn each get emotionally involved. The 400 days is the time frame of the girl missing.
So at times you feel you are reading a mystery and at times you find yourself reading a romantic novel. I could predict the culprit quite early though.

Purely a time-pass reading without getting bored. Just don't start with any expectations.

Don't expect too much from this book.. just read without any expectations. You'll be happy by the end of the book.. Alia is the wife of Manish. Manish who runs an online jewellery business in Haryana " Navratna" jewellers. They have two daughters, Siya and Suhana.. One day, these kids went to their grandparents house along with their parents. As usual, they had dinner and chit-chat and they slept there, but when they woke up the next morning, Alia found Siya was missing from the house. This book is the journey of how Alia finds her daughter despite all the odds... With the help of detectives keshav and saurabh.. and there is an unexpected ending.

What is it with Chetan Bhagat, Punjabi mother-in-law, and north-south contrast? 🤔
I was perplexed as the book came to an end. I did not know if I wasted my Sunday reading this or was it fine. I think with a thicker plot and lighter description, the book could have done better.
In the end, normalcy was restored. Everybody went where they were. There were no character arcs which is the least you except for at least one character.

[Amlan Chakraborty · Rating 4 out of 5]

To be blatantly honest, I haven't enjoy Chetan Bhagat since quite some time. The intrigue that he had developed within me after Revolution 2020 had died out with Half Girlfriend and the phase persisted throughout the years until this weekend when I began the first page of 400 Words. It isn't a literary masterpiece; it isn't a work of brilliance, but what it actually is, the feeling of being a teenager and being dissolved in a Chetan Bhagat book. I wouldn't go so far to declare with over the top phrases like' The Master is Back'. I would rather welcome back an old friend. Cheers to that.

[T. Sathish · Rating 2 out of 5]

Boring

[Smitha]

I thoroughly enjoyed this crime thriller. The descriptions of the Indian home and culture were so well-narrated that I could vividly visualize each scene.

The story evoked a range of emotions in me; I felt nervous and anxious, and I couldn't put the book down until I discovered the kidnapper's identity. It's a real eye-opener about the dangers of social media and how it can lead to crisis situations. I highly recommend this book, especially for young parents.

[Ming]

I knew almost immediately that I would DNF this book. Then I wondered where I learned about this title and why I added it.

Anyway, after 13% or about 40-pages, I continued to feel that this writing is simplistic, robotic/stiff, and choppy. There. Caveat emptor.

Mr Bhagat is getting better with his books!

[Fatima Nawmi · Rating 2 out of 5]

Being a Chetan Bhagat fan since his first book, I ended up finishing this book within 4 days of it's release. Was it worth the hype? No. Would I read it again a few years later or remember a few paragraphs of it randomly? No. But would I have read it if I had free time and nothing better to do? Sure.

The thing with being a Bhagat fan from the very beginning of his career is that I am totally hooked to his writing, and books like Five point someone, One night at a call center, 2 states are going to be few of my favorites. Even though they aren't what I would call literary classics, they are pretty decent and enjoyable books that I have read more than one time.

But recently this detective series has left me disappointed. (Spoiler alert) like two of it's predecessors this book also gives us glimpse of wealthy Delhi lifestyle, poor police works, not so strongly built detective work that seem to get by on luck rather than actual incisive thinking, very weak character development etc.

What bugged me the most about this book in particular that all of Bhagat's female protagonists seem to cheat on their respective better halfs, whether it be Zara in The girl in room 105, or Aarti in Revolution 2020 ,or Radhika getting involved with a married man in One Indian Girl. I appreciate girls are being given a shaded character rather than a black and white one but why keep writing the same thing again and again?

Alike the other books in this franchise there were loads of plot holes, the story development seemed very weak, the author's endeavor to add romance, comedy all in one book ended up messing with the overall story.

But if you can overlook all that and just want to enjoy a few hours of Chetan Bhagat writing and then forget about the book , this could be a fun read. Starting from mystery to steamy scenes you would get everything. Thanks for reading till here if you have. Ciao.

[Anoop Krishnan · Rating 1 out of 5]

It has been a very long time since I read such a bad book. Chetan Bhagat already bears a considerable percentage of disappointed readers and I just got added to it. The first book I read was 'The 3 Mistakes Of My Life' and I didn't find it that intresting. I dropped reading his books until I finnally resumed with 'The girl in room 105' which I really liked. I liked the story,the charecters, the plot, the twist and the mystery so much that I bought the next installment of the book which is 'One arranged murder' which too, I liked, though lesser than the previous one. And when the third book came portraying the same main charecters, I bought the book craving for an intricate plot. But, I was met with disappointment. The story is too flat. The charecters too underdeveloped, too stereotypical. The book was so dry that I wanted the book to end as fast as possible, not because I was excited to know the ending, but because I wanted to end the book faster and pick up another good book. And about the ending, it is too flat and predictable, unlike the other two previous books.
Thus, I must say that you could love the book only if you are a diehard fan of the author and if that love filters out every flaw. I won't really reccomend the book to anyone, unless you are a newbie who would love to read anything that you are told to read. Thank you.

Week 43 Book 50
400 days by Chetan Bhagat
Rating 3/5

I have not been a Bhaga fan lately but 400 days is definitely one of his better-written recent books. It continues the story of the reluctant detective Keshav who is facing much pressure from his parents to sit for IAS exams as well as get married. He encounters a new case with his partner - a teenaged girl who is kidnapped but has seemingly vanished into thin air, with no ransom calls or body found. after almost a year the family seems to have given up hope except for the mother, who is determined to find out the truth and employs Keshav for the same. It was a fast and easy read, much better than his previous work.

[BookishDramas · Rating 5 out of 5]

Keshav is back at what he does best, solve mysteries and gives Chetan another fantastic racy story situated in northern India.
For people aware about the Delhi-NCR region, most of the places in this story would be familiar.

This is an entertaining story and not too taxing on the neurons up there. Some authors have the knack of writing easy going cozy thrillers and Chetan has that knack in abundance.

Decent thriller and an extremely quick read.
