Q: 1 How faithful is the movie to the original short story? 

If, we ponder upon the story and Film adaption so we find quite similarity between both the things because structure of the story and film is going on same path to depict the originality of the text which is depict in the film adaption. if we see the film adaption, so we can easily get the what actually happened in the text.

Q. 2    After watching the movie, has your perception about the short story, characters or situations changed?

Although, there is some changes in the story and film adaption but I see all the things which is relevant with the text through story and as well as the Film adaption. so This was about  my  perception, which I have observed from the both of the things.

Q. 3   Do you feel ‘aesthetic delight’ while watching the movie? If yes, exactly when did it happen? If not, can you explain with reasons?

yes, I saw children in the park. Those are playing under the tree near  balloon's salesman . so this is the seen of when film is open..

Q.4   Does screening of movies help you in better understanding of the short story?

yes, Definitely helps a lot because there is one panel that if you can look any things that things easily captures in your mind rather than reading so it's reality to that film through you can get better understanding of the concept.

Q.5 Was there any particular scene or moment in the story that you think was perfect?

yes, I loved to watch the last seen that the while Gurunayak met to an astrologer when he realize that the The Gurunayak is still alive so this realization of that character is more important in our life that's the reason of that he is main protagonist character of the film.

Q.6 If you are a director, what changes would you like to make in the remaking of the movie based on the short story “An Astrologer’s Day” by R.K. Narayan?

yes, I will get the chances of remaking the movie so i wanted to do several kind of changes like while he felt that was a murder of the Gurunayak so that's the idea to how can we thing because it was not appropriate to see, However the idea of Gurunayak can easily trust on the Astrologer if Gurunayak might have a Educated person so The might be end will different of the story.
