An adaptation of the novel Great Expectations by Charles Dickens
is now being filmed on big screen in India by Abhishek Kapoor. The director who
made his debut by adapting Chetan Bhagat’s ‘Three Mistakes of My Life’.
Great Expectations’
is a masterpiece by Dickens,
though like all the other novels of him, this also centers around an orphan child (Pip), but the mastery
of Dickens lies in creating a character like Miss Havisham, (most probably
adaptation of this character will be played by Indian actress Tabu in the film),
a character which is romantic, yet a
villain. Miss Havisham, who was ditched by her lover on her wedding day,
has not even changed her clothes since, then. The clock in her house, has become
stagnant, it has stopped, at the time when she got the news of being ditched.
She has not changed her wedding dress since then, nor has she removed the wedding
cake, it all lies like that.
Havisham, develops a animosity for the males after she is
ditched. She then develops, Estella, --the leading lady—as a weapon against
males, she wants to use this weapon to take revenge from the males of this
world.
Her first target is Pip—an orphan—who comes to work at
Havisham’s. Though what happens to Pip & Estella in the end is a mystery to
be unraveled after reading the great classic of Dickens. At yourbookstall.com,

As a bookish, I have
kept my fingers crossed whether Abishek Kapoor will be able to do justice with
the great work of English Literature or not,
let’s see and hope for the best. It’s
always books, the written text, which makes more deep sense to me, than the
feature films.
