Most viewers who have watched Mira Nair's The Namesake claim that the film is brilliant. Mira, on her part, claims that Jhumpa Lahiri, on whose book the film is based, deserves a chunk of the credit.
Starring Tabu, Irrfan Khan and Kal Penn, The Namesake is a great onscreen version of Jhumpa's book. And we have seen quite a few books translated on screen -- from Devdas, to Paheli, to the recent Black Friday.
But there are quite a few books out there with great opportunities for the movies -- books that are just waiting to be filmed.
Which book would you like to see get made into a movie? Tell us!
