Review
Romancing with Life is indeed a pleasure to read, but more than that it gives you an intimate view of the man, the legend, the eternal man of romance. The way he rises into stardom, the milestones in his life and his zest for life are all apparent in each line. Yet on feels a little disappointed in his miserliness in holding back too much, especially when it comes to other luminaries of his times, including his co-stars. For instance, his account of Madhubala, the Venus Queen of Indian cinema and his co-star in eight films, is only a half page and leaves you desperately wanting for more. --Fazal Rahman Jan 11, 2012
One of the best autobiographies I have read. I just lived the entire golden era of Bollywood through the book. Magnificent. I would call it his last blockbuster. Story of a boy from Gurdaspur who dreamt of making it big in the city of dreams, Bombay and how he did it ! Don't miss it. :) --Shyam Govind Oct 13, 2012
Dev sahaab has written his stories in a very attractive style; elegant English, I must say! He has written about almost all his friends & of their influential behavior in his life. I liked the book very much & its definitely worth reading. --Suhasini Srihari Mar 18, 2012
