Abstract
Deepa Mehta's adaptation of Bapsi Sidhwa’s novel Ice Candy Man (a literary text) into a film Earth (a visual text) is an exceptional example of a hybrid representation. Deepa Mehta adapted Ice Candy Man into a film 1947: Earth. Making a novel into a film is a difficult task. A director's ability to transform words into moving visuals is exceptional. There is a transition in narratology as the novel is transformed into the film. Deepa Mehta sets herself a difficult task in producing Earth, translating Sidhwa's amazing story into a film using cinematic skills and artistry. The purpose of this article is to compare and contrast Bapsi Sidhwa's novel Ice Candy Man and its cinematic adaptation Deepa Mehta's “1947: Earth” in order to investigate the problem of depicting the Partition of India in 1947.
