Split Screen Podcast: Episode 16 – Adapting A Real Life Tragedy… Twice!
The Split Screen Podcast is all about remakes; adaptation of one source material made into a movie. On this episode, we feature two movies that were adapted from the same real life incident. While one was an official adaptation of the Noida Double Murder Case that happened in Indi in 2008, the other film was more of an alleged remake, that spawned a real life controversy. Kathy Gibson from Access Bollywood returns.
So check out Episode 16 of the Split Screen Podcast, where we compare ‘Rahasya‘ (2015) and ‘Talvar’ (2015).
