Not only has Saras been made relatable and more humane, Kumud's character has been changed quite a bit. Kumud of the movie(which closely followed original. I havent read the novel) is not the 'ziddi' kind. In the movie Saras didn't break the relationship just before wedding. There was no engagement ceremony. He writes a letter and calls off. Then they find a new match for Kumud and she marries obeying her family. She is the only sufferer for major part of the movie while Saras was shown to be of 'indifferent' kind.
Here, its quite different. The stakes are quite high. The united, they had engagement ceremony etc. Saras calling off the marriage just the day before and Kumud marrying within 24 hours both had much higher impact than the original. Hence, anger component has been used in Kumud. That lack of thought on why a groom would marry her so suddenly and what kind of man he would be if he is ready to do so has become prominent. In the movie it was not(elders find a match and she agrees. there was a time lag).
You could lay fingers only on Saras and not on Kumud in the movie. Here, it is different.
