In West Bengal and Kerala, there is a seamless connection between books and films, which can also become the case for Tamil and Telugu hereon.
Though in India the focus from production houses and platforms alike is mainly on genres like crime, thrillers and lesser on romance and family drama (and even lesser on comedy), the fact that good books make for better content cannot be disputed.
#Best tamil books series
A web series lends itself to a better adaptation as there is enough time to retain chapters from a book.
Sacred Games still remains India’s most successful web series, replaced only recently by Scam 1992. With the rise of OTT, the spotlight is on books, which are seen as a source of content and characters. Adapting a book is a double-edged sword, unless the author is also involved in the film writing process, thereby avoiding angst over alterations for the film version! Writing is a personal process and an understanding of writing format for novels and screenplay is important. The issue of copyrights has been a grey area and the consent from the original writer to the changes one has to make when adapting can get tricky. Right now, Vetri Maaran shows us how leaning on literature can make a film stand apart, with both Asuran and Visaranai being adaptations. In Tamil, there hasn’t been much success for films made from books, with rare successes taking us back to either the classic era that saw films like Thillana Mohanambal and Iruvar Ullam, or the new wave cinema of the 80s like Mullum Malarum, Udhirippokkal, and 47 Naatkal. Yet, there is a gap in recent years which looms large, like an elephant in the room. In Tamil, writers like Jayakanthan, Sujatha and T Janakiraman and the eternal Kalki have left us with stories suitable for the silver screen. Indian cinema too is replete with examples of book adaptations. Recently, Netflix’s French show, Lupin, modernised a legendary comic series into an updated tale set in picturesque Paris. Take, for example, the 1958 Sivaji Ganesan classic, Uthama Puthiran, based on the French novel by Alexander Dumas, The Man in the Iron Mask, or how about the longstanding James Bond and Harry Potter films, shining examples of how a successful book can be made into a successful film franchise? Most international film awards have a category for Best Adapted Screenplay. These books provide a guide to different types of healthy diets and plenty of recipes and hacks to keep your eating on track.Researching for a panel discussion on the topic ‘Book to film/OTT’, I was struck by the list of adaptations-the sheer number of films across languages, adapted from books, made me wonder why we even struggle to pen our own stories for cinema when books across a plethora of genres are readily available.
