Here are the some keys dealing with the Difference between film and the novel-     

• Ten-year difference
• Superstitious beliefs ling   on the village.
• In the novel his mother covering out kichen but in the film there is a room, because a fim maker has to look upon budget.
• A movie gives cathartic effect on the audience , on the other hand a novel give effect on reader.
• In the novel it is written that Raju as a student of Albert Mission school, whereas in the film there is not anything about school and children. It may be because of the budget issues thg every film maker has to look upon.

The most important difference between a film and a novel is that , auther can add plothar of characters in his work, but a film maker can not do so.
