8 Hindi Films That Could`ve Been Books
Gangs of Wasseypur
The multi-generational crime saga would`ve forced readers to be glued till the end as it`d dive deeper into the psyche of Sardar Khan, Faizal, and more.
Haider
Vishal Bhardwaj`s Hamlet adaptation could`ve been a gripping novel exploring the political and emotional depth of its main character, Haider.
Udaan
What better than a first-person narrative of a topic that`s relatable throughout generations – an abusive father`s tyranny and Rohan`s poetic aspirations?
Andhadhun
The dark comedy`s unreliable protagonist would`ve been deeper and much more enjoyable in prose, with intrusive thoughts and amplifying psychological tensions.
Kahaani
Vidya Bagchi`s quest of finding her missing husband on the chaotic streets of Kolkata would be a great psychological thriller read, with an unexpected twist.
Tumbbad
The folklore mythological horror fantasy would leave readers gasping, as the story would be more chilling in a gothic novel format.
Lootera
The slow-burning romance of Pakhi`s loneliness and Varun`s conflicted heart would make a binge-read worthy lyrical period novel.
Drishyam
A novelization of Vijay Salgaonkar`s meticulous mind as he orchestrates a nearly perfect cover-up, adding unexpected suspense, would`ve been a reader`s delight.
