It is indeed a great loss that the creative energies of Narayan and Hrishikesh Mukherjee never met. One felt that especially after watching Baawarchi and the dialogue which so effectively puts things in perspective, 'It is simple to be happy, but it is difficult to be simple'. He had that ability to put the small things in life together and make heart warming tales on screen. It is difficult to find out! One always wondered why Hrishikesh Mukherjee never turned his eyes on Malgudi. So, who is it who can tell stories that do not rely on the highs and lows, but just the plain sailing of daily life. Keeping things simple and sweet is one of the most difficult things to ask of a director! Tamil cinema has thrived on providing different extremes of emotions in a balanced manner to its viewers. he never had villains or villainy (perhaps The Maneater of Malgudi might be taken as an exception by some)Ĭinema, in it commercial format, would find it hard to adapt to this kind of narration. His works were so much entwined with everyday life as it happened in Malgudi, no fast forwards, no zooms, no flashbacks etc…. Narayan (mostly) never gave an adrenaline high, an emotional low or a power packed moment instead he filled you with contentment, a comfort that would almost put you at complacence with the life you lived.

He could take the most simplest happenings in the everyday life of a character in Malgudi and present them in a way that would leave you in an extremely pleasant frame of mind. But, that is where Narayan proved his mastery over narration and language. Yes, simple everyday life is boring, stories cannot be built unless you throw opposing elements (hero and villain), create a conflict and declare a winner.

It seldom chooses to look at the simple everyday life of people. In short, Tamil cinema wants to deal more with periods of turbulence and jeopardy, alternating with ecstasy and jubilation, of its protagonists. Mostly about whether love succeeds or not, whether the hero is able to overcome the villain, whether the villain is killed or jailed, whether the society becomes and altogether better one etc…. Tamil cinema (Indian cinema in general) has always sought to make movies that look at pressing personal problems of its potagonists. It is hard to fathom and there is only one possible explanation! With so many stories that instantly connected with a vast spectrum of readers throughout India, why did Narayan’s works not find more favor with film makers, especially Tamil film makers, given the fact that the nativity and lifestyle painted by Narayan in all his works was essentially Tamil. The best and most impeccable (it almost looks like it never can be bettered) screen adaptation is of course the evergreen Malgudi Days, directed by Shankar Nag which is perhaps one of the best ever features on Indian television which can still draw an audience. The efforts in themselves were not bad, but there was something lacking it was perhaps the simplicity and innocence of Malgudi which were the elements that attracted readers most towards it. The big screen efforts include the Hindi Guide (from Guide of course) and the Kannada Banker Margayya (based on The Financial Expert, not much known but once pointed out by an avid Malgudi fan through mail). There have been a few, precisely three efforts to bring alive Malgudi and its idyllic life on to screen (big and small). But, it is disappointing to think that such a treasure of delectable tales is being left untranslated into the visual medium. Yes, Narayan’s works are already immortalized in print, they do not need a great level of advertisement. Yet, it is somewhat ironic that Tamil art and cinema seems to have fallen behind in appreciating and celebrating the timeless work of R.K. Tamil should be proud – one of India’s finest (if not the finest) English writers was born in Tamil Nadu.
