As someone who watched Raazi when it first came out in 2018, I had naturally forgotten a lot of plot points so I had a good time with the book. It might be boring to read this if you recently watched the movie, and honestly I think this story did really well in the movie format, it just hit harder to watch the movie for the heart pumping thrilling moments whereas in writing I felt it wasn't as effective to bring me to the edge of my seat.
But the beginning parts with her former life as a regular college student i think was written very well, it was tender and sweet, and I liked that.
