Filmy Chick: Psycho-Filmising Life: "He is her Nappy Buddy, and she is his Diaper Buddy. They grew up together, with each other. He is a radio jockey by day and a stand-up comedian by night. She is a film buff by night and day. He psychoanalyses her; she psycho-filmises life. He is Mojo, and she is his Filmy Chick. Mojo wants to help his Filmy Chick because he firmly believes she does need help and guidance. Does she need guidance, or does Mojo need it more? Well, we always believe that someone who we care about needs help. Do they or we need help? As they say, when helping others, we actually help ourselves.
Kavishala Review: The author shweta rohira’s book FILMY CHICK provides a fresh and a light read with simple language and relatable humour. The book encapsulates the quirky friendship of two childish adults bitten by the movie bug. Its very much a reflection of our times and how gender of friendships is non existent. We would be interesting to see how it would look on screen. A must read for everyone! The book depicts love and connection to the fiction world. Characters that are real, making you believe that you have them in you!
The book uses a different form of narration i.e. through a standup comedian’s speech which takes a few chapters to get used to. However, once you are into it, you wont even realize how your day went by finishing the book. Actually, the only negative of this entertainer written by the multitalented Shweta Rohira is that it feels a bit too short. You tend to crave for more jokes, more witty one-liners, and you wish that the book had actually lasted longer. Overall, I would like to compliment Shweta’s work as I believe it takes a lot of effort to build a piece that can actually make people laugh and keep them entertained. If you haven’t checked out Filmy Chick yet, then please buy it now. It is a quick start-to-finish read, all-in-all.
The writer has been carfeful not to over use the movies, and use them as references.
The language is easy to read, interactive & feels that book speaks to you.
I definitely recommend this book.
