R. K. Narayan’s Guide and the Movie: A Comparative Study
Main Article Content
Abstract
Novel and films are very familiar words these days. In fact they have begun to interlink now a days. Studios are increasingly looking to turn popular novels into movies. It has been observed that one third of the total films made were adopted from novels1. Films and novels are also common in aspects of narrative. The moving image of films tends to explain meaning in a more clear term than novels. To talk in a layman’s language, the things become clearer when shown practically. Same is the case here, as in today’s fast paced society; many people rely on films rather than the written word. Moreover films are also made out of novels, to reach the masses. The present paper presents the story of, “Guide”, the movie in comparison to the novel. No doubt both are masterpieces in their own respects; still there are intricate differences which speak their own language.
