This can also benefit him in his criminal profession as he will get a new face. he is lured by ts scheme of Dawarkanath. the climax of the novel is very interesting and praiseworthy.

Daylight Robbery - Surender Mohan Pathak
Jan 25, 2017 04:16 AM

Daylight Robbery is a thriller[1] novel written by Surender Mohan Pathak, a Hindi writer from Delhi, India.Originally published in 1980[2] by Shanu Paperbacks, it was translated into English by Sudarshan Purohit[3] and published by Blaft Publications, Chennai, India in 2010.


It is the 8th novel in the Vimal series, and revolves around the robbery of a payroll van in Agra. The novel is unique in the sense that this is the first time Vimal engages in a crime for his own personal benefit(till now all he did was under threat of other hard-core criminals). Dawarkanath, an aged gambler form Agra, tells him of a great artist, a plastic surgeon called Dr. Earl Slater, who would operate only on wanted Indian criminals(for an amazingly high fee, of course).[4] If Vimal(actual name Sardar Surender Singh Sohal), a wanted criminal in several Indian states and NCR, can get a new face, he can live safe from both the law and its breakers. That's what pulls him in Dwarkanath's amazingly inhuman scheme - it would involve crashing the cash-carrying armoured van "like a piano accordion"! along with the driver and security guard. The officer in charge of Ratanakar Steel Mill, whose weak point is his shamelessly materialistic wife, is blackmailed to give-in a very complicated machination, exploiting his love for gambling. The team somehow pulls off their plan but things(as they always happen to poor Vimal) go wrong - Dwarkanath dies of a heart attack, the young and naive Kooka(another cooperator) loses both money and life, the money goes back to where it belongs and Vimal is left with empty pockets, his dream of a new face shattered and a long dark road full of underworld adventures stretching in front of him.

Daft about Blaft - Pathak's Novel in English!
Oct 10, 2015 03:26 PM

Pulp Fiction Ever since my youth, I used to see local language publications on roadside stalls, in railway station bookshops and in the hands of friends. I was a bit envious as, for some reason, my parents never made us learn any language but English.


Blaft to the Rescue It was only some years back that I discovered Blaft publications. My first purchase was Tamil Pulp Fiction but imagine my delight when I found this Hindi language novel in an English translation!


Cover Art The cover illustration and cover design by Shelle Studio and Ramesh Ram are spectacular, capturing all the juiciness that used to lure my eye when I was a youngster and beheld Indian regional language pulp fiction by the wayside or being devoured by my besties.


Pathak’s Gripping Style The 8th novel of the Vimal series, this one is about the robbery of a payroll van in Agra. Apparently, it is special, as, in this story, the hero takes part in a crime for his own benefit. Previously, it seems, he used to be forced into such things by other criminals.


Dwarkanath, an aging gambler from Agra, informs Vimal about a great plastic surgeon, Dr. Earl Slater, who only operates on Indian criminals for an exorbitant fee. Vimal (aka Sardar Surender Singh Sohal) is wanted by the police. If he can get plastic surgery he might escape the long arm of the law.


Thus, he is sucked into Dwarkanath's evil scheme of destroying an armoured van carrying cash with no mercy for the the driver and security guard. Meanwhile, the officer in charge of the Ratnakar Steel Mill is being blackmailed due to his weakness for gambling. Things go terribly wrong… Buy the book to find out if Vimal can wiggle out of the mess!


Authenticity I was really engrossed in this book as the author creates very real descriptions. I can’t forget the scenes in a train or in a shady hotel room!


As Daylight Robbery’s translator, Sudarshan Purohit, puts it in a Tehelka article


Vimal is a man on the run. If he ends up staying at Agra’s Clarks Shiraz you can bet there’s such a hotel. When he’s in Amritsar he’ll meet the Punjabi underworld. Other novelists don’t bother locating the stories so carefully.


A Collector’s Item There are more illustrations within the book which are so very typical. They are classics of the genre. This is a precious book for me.


Pulp fiction is undervalued and has a bad reputation just because of the English words. The English phrase puts the phenomenon into a bad light. Yet, so many great writers were published in cheap magazines at all times in history.


Blaft is doing a commendable job to make Indians able to read fiction in each other’s regional language by translating them into English.
