Movies inspired by Indian authors

‘A Suitable Boy’ web series is based on Vikram Seth’s popular novel of the same title which was published in 1993…reports Olivia Sarkar

It is not surprising that screen adaptations of Indian authors’ works are in high demand because they have always been an integral component of world literature.
