ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"Shantaram" by Gregory David Roberts is a novel based on the author's life. It follows Lin, an escaped convict, who flees to Bombay, seeking refuge and a new life. In this vibrant and chaotic city, Lin becomes entangled in the underworld, forming complex relationships and confronting moral dilemmas.

The story explores themes of redemption, identity, and the search for belonging as Lin navigates the slums, criminal enterprises, and philosophical questions that arise in his new world.
