Indian cinema is an industry which seamlessly gets inspired
from excellence outside. Be it real stories, true incidents or literature.
Bollywood is a place that has showcased and nurtured other streams of talent on
the screen by adapting their synopsis from books and novels.
The novel is to readers and movie is to viewers while there has
been a big surge of audience gushing in theatres, more than a fraction of readers
have ingested curiosity and money for reading popular novels that directly
implies a lack of deserving attention towards books. Novels indeed have a big
base of readers but most of the books deserve to come under the limelight of
cinematography to garner more attention.
However, novels have set an inspirational platform for the
Bollywood industry to adapt and cater to the entertainment needs of the audience
by sharing each other’s ideas and tactics parallelly.
These are few of the novels which have grabbed great reverence amongst readers and have been applauded by audiences by inspiring Bollywood industry to adapt their core stories.
