Bestselling
novels have always fascinated Bollywood that have turned into popular movies. These
novels have popularized and inspired Indian cinema so much that it arouses
curiosity among laymen. I myself is fascinated about books and movies and so
thought about listing down such movies which were actually based on popular
books/novels. So here I am listing those popular Bollywoodmovies which were actually based on famous authors’ novels.
Devdas
Devdas, the
eternal and tragic love story is actually written by Great author Sarat Chandra
Chattopadhyay. The flim won ten awards at the 2002 Flimfare Awards. The flim
went on to become a box office hit. The movie shows how the social customs in
Bengal brings hurdle in the love of two people. Though the movie had a powerful
cast such as Shahrukh Khan, Madhuri Dixit and Aishwarya Rai but the success
really lies in a good story and of course the credit goes to the author.
