Blurb-
The three Khans, Akbar, Amit and Chris, spelt their surnames differently but the Indian filmgoer still liked them. They were the uncrowned kings and superstars of the Hindi film industry. 'Uncrowned' meant there was no clarity about who was better than the other. This confusion was on display from the way they tried to run down each other in private and public.
Baba Ram Karim was everything rolled into one-a philanthropist, businessman, film financier, race horse breeder, educationist and much more. Some called him Don behind his back!
The three superstars indulge in ruckus and childish behaviour during Baba's famous Iftar party where they were invitees. A furious and unhappy Baba plans retribution and calls it Khan Vs Kahn Vs Kanh.

Book Title and Cover- The Book Title is interesting and it surely attracts readers. However, cover could be made more interesting and attractive. Blurb is simple and crisp and gives us more disclosure about the content.

Characterization- The Book has three main characters- Akbar Khan, Chris Kahn and Amit Kanh. Author has artistically portrayed the actors in the story which is difficult to do. There's another character Baba Karim who plays important role in the story.
Storyline and Plot- Storyline is unique and serves us fresh story. With this book, author gives us the inside view of bollywood and actors, their struggles and their day to day life as an actor. Everything is done in a humorous way which engages you with the story. However it takes few pages to get familiar with the characters, especially with their names; but as the story continues, it flows smoothly till the end.
