Hetansh Desai’s ‘Zidd!’ opens to an overwhelmingly positive response!
It is a big-hearted, full-on, laugh-out-loud comedy-drama that has already sold 2,000+ copies in under 2 months
New Delhi [India], October 21: Debut author Hetansh Desai’s comedy-drama Zidd! has opened to an overwhelmingly positive response from readers since its release under the Fantasticals imprint.
Zidd! tells the story of two friends and a ₹10 crore dream. Set in Gujarat and unfolding over a decade, the novel follows Vihaan and Parth — two young men from ordinary middle-class families — as an impossible vow pushes them out of their comfortable lives and into a journey that is by turns hilarious, chaotic, gripping, and emotional. Early readers have described the book as ‘a big-hearted, full-on, laugh-out-loud comedy-drama’ and ‘an easy, breezy read’, with many finishing it in a single sitting. People are loving the twists and turns, the fast pace and, especially, the climax. Underneath the laughs sits an emotional core about friendships in today’s times and a father-son relationship most will relate to.
The team at Fantasticals has crafted a one-of-a-kind book trailer featuring veteran Bollywood actor Tiku Talsania, known for his impeccable comic timing across decades of Hindi and Gujarati cinema. Book trailers of this scale are a rarity in Indian publishing, and the film — produced like a movie promo rather than a conventional book announcement — introduces the world of Zidd! to its readers.
