DOI: https://doi.org/10.24321/2395.3810.201801 Abstract In order to cater a huge audience, film makers from all over the world have adopted literature writings for movie making. The key purpose of these screen adaptations lies in giving visual appeal to the black and white words of the author’s writings. Furthermore, there are restricted readers for different genres and subject of novel and literature respectively.

This is a qualitative research in which Chetan Bhagat’s novel ‘Five Point Someone’ and ‘2 States’have been take up by Bollywood film makers to make movies ‘3 Idiots’ and ‘2 States’ respectively.

  • Economic Growth Recorded in FY2015, Buoyed by Improved Agricultural Performance and Growth in Consumption
    Management Discussion & Analysis FY2015-16 The Indian economy remained resilient and grew by 7.6% in FY2016, making it the world’s fastest growing economy among the large economies. This was higher than 7.2% economic growth recorded in FY2015, buoyed by improved agricultural performance and growth in consumption. Economic OVERVIEW GLOBAL ECONOMY Calendar Year 2015 (CY2015) has been challenging and difficult year for the global economy. Global growth is said to pick up after a number of weak years (global economic activity remained subdued in CY2015). Global growth, estimated at 3.1% in CY2015, is projected to improve to 3.4% in CY2016 and 3.7% in CY2017. The pick-up in global activity is projected to be more gradual, especially in the emerging markets and the developing economies. In its semi-annual World Economic Outlook, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) stated that the world economy is facing the threat of a synchronised slowdown and mounting risks including another bout of financial market turmoil, and a political backlash against globalisation. Worldwide, demand remained weak and the recent volatility in financial markets highlighted an uncertain international outlook, especially in China. “The emerging economies are slowing down, apart from India which is “doing pretty well”, Christine Lagarde, the chief of the International Monetary Fund stated. The pace of global GDP growth remained slow, driven by a collusion of multiple factors such as volatility and rebalancing in the Chinese economy. A drop in oil and other commodity prices, slowdown in emerging economies, and slow pick-up in major developed economies also contributed to the slow growth.
