[Reader-list] FIVE POINT SOMEONE IN BANGALORE

[Mahesh Radhakrishnan]

*FOR THE FIRST TIME IN BANGALORE *

*EVAM*

Presents

*FIVE POINT SOMEONE

AN ADAPTATION OF CHETAN BHAGAT'S BESTSELLER*

*A MADRAS PLAYERS PRODUCTION*

*DIRECTED BY NIKHILA KESAVAN*


*Five Point Someone* is the story of three under performers at IIT. How does
one cope with being a five-pointer, after having topped all through school
and slogged one's way into one of the best colleges in the country? What
happens to friendship and love in an environment of relative grading? Can
fun and creativity co-exist with tests and assignments?

Funny and dark, *Five Point Someone* is about "what not to do at IIT". At
one level, it is the tale of every student in India.
