Adab Se Film Tak, authored by Rasheed Anjum. The book is an important research and critical effort, in which the author has made the intimate relationship between Indian literature (especially Urdu) and the film industry the subject. The central idea of this book is how Indian films have benefited from the rich storehouse of literature and how literary creations have not only gained public popularity through films but also gained immortality.
The main points of the book are as follows:
1. The journey from literature to film:
The author has highlighted that from the very beginning of the film industry in India, stories, characters, and themes have been taken from literature. From the era of silent films to the modern era, the works of numerous writers, including Premchand, Rabindranath Tagore, Agha Hashar Kashmiri, Imtiaz Ali Taj, Mirza Hadi Raswa, Krishna Chandra, Manto, and Sharat Chandra Chattopadhyay, have graced the screen.
2. Filmic Transformation of Literary Works:
The book examines the complex process by which a literary work (such as fiction, a novel, or drama) is adapted into a filmic form. The author thoroughly discusses the challenges faced by translators and filmmakers, including the need to consider cultural differences and sensitivities, as well as adapting the work for a new medium while preserving its original spirit.
3. The relationship between literature and film:
Rashid Anjum has clarified the two-way relationship in which literature has given depth and quality to films, while films have immortalised literary works by reaching a wider audience. Additionally, the film industry provided economic stability and fame to many writers and poets.
4. Role of Poetry and Music:
A significant part of the book explores the pivotal role of poetry and music in Indian films. The author believes that Urdu poetry has enriched film songwriting with aesthetics, romance, and depth. Poets of high calibre, such as Sahir Ludhianvi, Kaifi Azmi, Majrooh Sultanpuri, and Hasrat Jaipuri, gave literary prestige to film songs.
5. Coverage of selected personalities:
The author has selected writers, poets, and creators featured in this book who had previously made their mark in the literary world and later became associated with the film industry. The analysis of the literary contributions and film achievements of these personalities is the real essence of the book.
6. Author’s research methodology:
Rashid Anjum has based this research on printed materials and his personal observations and experiences, rather than relying on the internet or direct assistance. This book is a testament to his deep interest and extensive study in the field of literature and film.
“Adaab Se Film Tak” is an informative and profound book that introduces the reader to an important aspect of Indian cinema’s history.
