Faction: Short Stories by 22 Film Personalities is a collection of stories by people from Indian film industry - be it actors or directors. These are stories from their lives that made an impact on them or stayed with them over time. As per the author, or edited by, as it is written, there were some stories that were excluded due to whatever reasons.
I personally liked 'A Calcutta Story' by the legendary actor Ashok Kumar; 'Disbelieve it or not' by the actor-turned-director Ashutosh Gowariker; and 'The Window' by the talented director Basu Chatterji. I liked these stories because these were experiences or some incident that happened with these film personalities. These experiences or stories were retold as stories. While reading these three stories I wanted to know what may happened next. Other film personalities shared some experiences that happened - one shared some interview that happened, another some postcards shared, and yet another the anxiety before the release of the first movie. So, there was no particular liking or disliking for those stories.
Rating: 2.75/5.
