The essays explore yet underexplored areas in the field of cinematic adaptation of literary texts. The essays examine how gender, caste, and queer politics inform and shape literary texts and how films serve as crucial and pertinent tools of social discourse and interpellation. Using theoretical frameworks from the discipline of cinematic studies, these essays facilitate bringing to the foreground into popular culture the literary texts that have remained marginalised for various socio-political reasons; 1.
