The process of adaptation to celluloid, in the age of multiplex cinema has both reprieved movie makers from economic liabilities, and at the same time bargained for sellable celluloid commodity for art. The fidelity towards the ‘original’ text, when medium and language are both translated, in all the more distanced and proportionally more. The poaching of ‘texts’ in the industry shows a utile notion of ‘art’. Keywords: Translation, Adaptation, Indian English, Indian Novels, Indian Cinema *** Historically, the film industry has always had a very close relationship with the writing fraternity. Since circa 1930’s, during the times of Anjuman Tarraqi Pasand Mussanafin-e-Hind or Progressive Writers’ Movement, literary scholars were already a part of cinematic traditions.

  • Storyteller Par Excellence Vamanan
    COVER STORY KOTHAMANGALAM SUBBU Storyteller par excellence Vamanan Vasan asked him to inject new energy into his weekly, Ananda Vikatan. Under the pseudonym ‘Kalaimani’, Subbu took upon himself the daunting task of writing an ambitious novel that would be a throwback to the early decades of the century when devadasis still flourished. It encapsulated in the heroine Mohanambal all the beauty, power and glory that the traditional dancers had gained for the art. By the mid-fifties, the age-old system of dedicating girls to temples to perform ritual dance had been outlawed in south India on the charge that it encouraged prostitution, and the time was ripe to show the brighter side of the devadasi dancers. Subbu’s artistic life started in the Chettinadu area where affluent Chettiars were known to be patrons of temple dancers. Bringing the wealth of his observation and ardent appreciation of dance and music into full play, he held the reader in thrall, relating the vicissitudes of a tempestuous romance between dancer Mohanambal and nagaswaram genius Shanmugasundaram. Subbu was a stunning raconteur, his narrative reflexes had been honed to perfection in his studio years. With Tillana Mohanambal he had the opportunity to weave reams of artistic life that had unfurled before his very eyes into a monumental tale of protagonists who represented the highest ideals Young Kothamangalam Subbu of classical dance and music. When Subbu sang his epic requiem not only to the golden age of the temple dancers othamangalam Subbu was many things all at once but also that of nagaswaram players like Rajarathnam – actor, writer, director, lyricist, poet, performer Pillai, the devadasis were fast disappearing into the and novelist par excellence.

NARAYAN’S, “THE GUIDE” UNIT 1 R.K NARAYAN, HIS LIFE AND STYLE OF WRITING UNIT 2 R.K.NARAYAN’S “THE GUIDE” BLOCK-3 R.K NARAYAN’S, “THE GUIDE” OBJECTIVES R.K. Narayan has made his place amongst the most famous Indian English writers. He is famous for his real life characters and real life and events (most of them are countryside/pastoral). After reading this block, you’ll have a clear insight of RK Narayan, his life, legacy and achievements. You’ll also be able to know and analyse one of his most anticipated works named “The Guide”. INTRODUCTION Rasipuram Krishnaswami Iyer Narayanaswami popularly known as R. K. Narayan is one of the most important figures of Indian writing in English and one of the pioneers of Indian fiction in English. Starting with his first novel Swami and Friends published in 1935, Narayan has contributed immensely towards Indian fiction writing. Like most Indian writers, Narayan’s writing too revolves around the nuances of the Indian family and society. Narayan’s novels tell tales of the common Indian individual located in and around Malgudi. Narayan’s Malgudi is famous because of its representative nature. Malgudi is fictional but smells, tastes and sounds like any common Indian town of the 1940s-70s. The Guide is Narayan’s award- wining text.
