Q,1 Does the movie help you to understand the narrative structure of the play?

Answer :

Yes, the movie adaptation helps me alot to understand the narrative technique. This particular play has no watertight compartment for narration. In the beginning of the play we can see a story depicted with Hardika/Daska’s perspective. This is the play and it’s very interesting to see the narrative technique of representing past and present. People have to be careful while watching adaptations because it sometimes creates confusion but this adaptation helps me a lot to understand narrative technique. 

Q.2 Do you think the movie is helpful to understand the viewpoints of different characters?

Answer. 

Absolutely, movie is helpful to understand the viewpoints of different characters. So let's briefly discuss every character's viewpoints. This movie has widely talked about the issues of communal and religious problems. 

So somewhere Aruna Gandhi and Javed’s viewpoints are matched with each other toward their religion. So in this movie we can find the same words like ‘Sankar’ and ‘Mazhab’. So Aruna wanted to do something for her religious rituals in this way Javed also wanted to do something for his ‘Mazhab’. Now let's discuss Smita And Daksha/ Hardika. So Smita is quite modern and open minded. In contradiction Daksha was narrow minded. Yes, there is some misunderstanding done by Daksha/Hardika but when we look at newly married Daksha and Smita we can find so many similarities in  their viewpoints.

Ramnik Gandhi's views are totally different because he knows the truth of his father and grandfather. Babban is also quite a different person. 

Q. 3 Think about the end of the movie? Do you think the director is faithful to the play?

Answer.

The end of the movie is somewhere faithful to play. Original test also discussed the same story line and this movie adaptation also followed the original play. The end of the movie is very significant when Babban picks up the statues of lord Krishna. That time was very important. It conveys a very fascinating message to all of us. We humans are the same but our way of reaching God is different. Same thing Ramnik often told to Aruna and Babban elaborate it more. All religions are the same. Its main aim is to maintain peace and humanities among people. So this particular idea is quite justification mentioned in the movie. 

Q. 4 If you were the director of the movie, what kind of changes would you make in the movie?

Answer. 

If I was the director of this particular movie then I would like to do so many changes in this movie.

I added the character of Badh. Gajju and Hari

I will add a scene of Hardika's marriage and how her husband and father-in-law create a plan for purchasing the shop of Zarin. Also added is the Rathyatra event scene. Growing love story of Smita and Babban. 

Main focus will be on the Rath Yatra event.

Change will be different like I elaborate more idea about Hindu and muslim community.  End will be with everyone's exception of everyone's religion.
