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 Clap

I usually prefer books over movies, bec the movies often misses out the small details the book tells us and makes us live in it.. However i really like Parineeta

1. Name of the movie.
Parineeta

2. Name of the Book its based on.
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! Embarrassed

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 Blushing

They would be PERFECT as Henry and Clare Blushing
