Nirmalyam, Oppol & Ennu Swantham Janakikutty: Three Screenplays and Their Stories

 
M.T. Vasudevan Nair (Author)
Synopsis

All the three screenplays in this volume were developed out of M.T. Vasudevan Nair’s own short stories. Nirmalyam which won the President’s Gold Medal in 1973 grew out of a short story Pallivalum Kalchilambum (Sacred Swords and anklets) which details the trials and tribulations of a temple velichappadu (oracle) when times begin to change.

Oppel (Elder Sister) which is based on a short story of the same name sensitively portrays the worlds of a child as he attempts to come to terms with certain harsh realities that were hidden from him. Ennu Swantham Janakikutty based on the short story Cheriya Cheriya Bhukambangal (Little Little Earthquakes) is a peek into the world of the supernatural even as it depicts the inner workings of a joints family that is forced to take in an unwelcome guest.

While the stories and screenplays are engaging in themselves, the volume also enables one to appreciate the similarities and differences between the written word and the cinematic medium. The writer,s mastery of both mediums, ably translated by well-known translator, Gita Krishnankutty is clearly on display throughout, making this book an invaluable resource for both lovers of literature and cinema.
