hmm....I always prefer book over movies!!But if i have to choose i'd go for namesake.(though book was far more better but Tabu's performance was brilliant in the movie)...other is parinita.. characters were well represented...both saif and vidya did a great job..both the book and the film were amazing in their own way.

nice topic btw👏

Parineeta

3. Why do you like it or hate it?
I really liked because it captured the ara of the time in Kolkatta and truly showed it beautifully! 😳

There's a movie being made on my fav book 'The time traveler's wife," i dunno.... i hope it doesnt wreck the image i have in my mind of the characters n the situations:( The actors playing the two main leading roles of the couple are yet to be decided..... I wish Leonardo Dicaprio and Anne Hathaway play them☺️ They would be PERFECT as Henry and Clare☺️

The book is ALWAYS better. No more can be said. But sometimes they're pretty good. I'd say Harry Potter would be my favourite and Bourne series the worst. It's just un-understandable!
