Film Screening Mahesh Dattani’s "The Final Solutions"

1. What is the difference between the movie and the play?

I think there is not much difference between the movie and the play but we can see that movie is not able to capture all the things which is added in the play and I would like to say that yes from watching the movie we can get the storyline but if we want to see the reality or real situation of that time that women were facing at that time or what type of mindset the people were having about Indian people and Muslim people then we should read play. movie has also tried to include all the parts but for good understanding it is important.

2. Does the movie help you to understand the narrative structure of the play?

Yes, I agree that the movie helps you to understand the narrative structure of the play, as we can see in the starting we can see how Daksha is alone and there is no one with whom she can share his feeling or say that what problem she is facing and she is writing a letter because there is no one who can talk with her. then we also knew about Zarine that she is liking to listen to songs then we also saw in the movie that how the crowd behaves with Javed and Bobby and why Ramnik wanted to give the job to that both people.so, the movie is helpful.

3. Do you think the movie is helpful to understand the viewpoints of different characters?

yes, the movie is helpful to understand the viewpoints of different characters because while watching we will see that all person is having different types of options and they all are having a different types of mindsets we can see that movie is helping to know the viewpoint that how their views are somehow match with each other and sometimes they are not agreeing to it

4. If you were the director of the movie, what kind of changes would you make in the movie. Does the movie do justice to the play?

If I am the Director then I would like to make a character growth by not sticking toll rules and regulations. I would make Daksha a character who is brave and who stands for his right and in the starting when Daksha was 15 years old that time she is coy but when she is 54 at that time she is modern and Brave and taking a stand. when Smita is calling Tasneem's parents at that time I would include smita as a modern girl. and I would like to include that when Daksha's first husband dies then she fall in love with Muslim guy and from there here life takes a turn .
