book to film adaptations
The forever debt to Rabindranath Tagore
From children’s books to internationally applauded films, from lyrical ballads to Netflix series, wherever we put our senses, they are filled with the legacy of the “Bard of Bengal”, Rabindranath Tagore. Do we ever ask ourselves what we would do without him? Do we wonder how the entire culture of the Indian subcontinent is wrapped around his existence?
Should book adaptations always be faithful?
When it comes to casting, direction, design, and other varying aspects of production, the author being at the heart of it all can be a huge asset, assisting in the transformation of their ideas and offering tidbits of inspiration or knowledge that may otherwise be missing.
