Hi all
I was reading through some of the comments posted around here and it was all 'raving good' and all. I would like to ask , has anyone really read this Novel by Saratchand ? I personally haven't (they are only in Bengali and no English translations are out there 'afaik') and was curious to meet anyone who has gone through the literature. My main query is , I would like to know if the movie people really stuck to the novel / or not [ for starters I know the novel's in the 1920's while we are showed 1962 , and there are no 'philmi' songs ] in the literature :-) so it would be nice to know,how many more such concoctions were made to make it into a 'bollywoody' slant movie, while deviating from the natural literature. My real concern is that--> 'Robocop/T2' wall bashing scene at the end , while 'saif' could have taken the easy way,the common sense way, through the gates to meet his 'wify', who would have acknowledged him with the same warmth albeit wall bashing aka 'T2' style. Was this 'T2-grunting-wall-breaking-bare-hands' action, also depicted in the literature or was it our "philmi" minds that thought this up ? No Offence to anyone or the movie,in fact it's very rare that such kinds DO get made , in days of today , so FULL credits to the film makers and their efforts in bringing us this classic.it's only that, I wanted to know how much was the original 'Great' literature tampered with.
