Reception

Hindustan Times writes, "Neelakantan got Ravana to steal Rama’s thunder as the hero of the Ramayana. He dismantled long-cherished beliefs of good and evil, questioning the idea of victory and defeat. Asura sold more than a million copies, but Neelakantan is far from finished. Now, Ajaya: Roll Of The Dice, takes on the Mahabharata, this time focusing on the ‘unconquerable’ Kauravas." [3] The Indian Nerve rated it 3.5 out of 5 stating "The simple and gripping writing style coupled with fast-paced story throughout the book is sure to make you enjoy the book." [2]
