Development of the characters from Fiction to Film.

      Аннотация: “This work concerns with the projection of fiction into films. We have taken a novel 'Devdas' by Sharatchandra and the films 'Devdas' by Sanjay Leela Bhanshali as well as Anurag Kashyap's 'Dev-D'. The major focus of the book is the development of the characters from fiction to film.“ Devdas is the story of a love beyond all else… even life. The saga of a man called Devdas who loved, loved and just loved. Love was his life… love makes him live on.” The novel is essentially a retelling of the relationship between Krishna, Meera and Radha, portrayed as Devdas, Chandramukhi and Parvati (Paro) respectively. However, the movie by Bhanshali is a faithful adaptation of the novel and is famous for the dialogue:“Babuji ne kaha gaon chhodh do sub ne kaha paro ko chhodh do paro ne kaha sharab chhodh do...aaj tum keh rehe ho yeh haweli ko chhodh do...eik din ayega jab woh kaha ga duniya hi chhodh do...!!” Nevertheless, unlike Bhanshali's Devdas, which is very close to Saratchandra Chattopadhyay legendary novella, Anurag Kashyap's deviant take on Devdas is contemporary and in the process, differs from the original. To know the difference, kindly read the book. - Himanshu. K. Upadhyay
