| Abstract: |
This paper explores the transformation of Ponniyin Selvan, the celebrated Tamil historical novel by Kalki Krishnamurthy, into Mani Ratnam’s two-part film. The study investigates how the novel’s rich psychological depth, linguistic brilliance, and narrative complexity are adapted for cinematic storytelling. Special attention is given to the depiction of Aditha Karikalan’s death, a moment of profound ambiguity in the novel that is rendered with emotional clarity in the film. The analysis reflects on the challenges and liberties involved in adapting literature to screen, showing how each medium reshapes characters and themes according to its conventions. The paper argues that both versions offer distinct but equally powerful experiences, with the film emphasizing visual resolution where the novel preserves interpretive ambiguity. Ultimately, the transition from scroll to screen reveals both the continuity and transformation of a timeless narrative. |
