Abstract
What will make Mezbaur Rahman Suman's Hawa (2022) memorable are its links to medieval Bengali literature's Mangal Kavya, its cinematic storytelling approach, its commercial success, and allegations of violating the Wildlife (Preservation and Safety) Act, 2012. However, this study primarily focuses on two key issues: a comparative exploration of the two central characters in Hawa (2022) and Mansa Mangal, and the extent to which the narrative is adapted to create a new artistic event based on a previous one. In other words, this study delves into an analysis of how the narrative of the film Hawa (2022) relates to the medieval Mangal Kavya of Bengali literature through the lens of adaptation. To illuminate this difference, a comparative analysis is employed, and the qualitative research method incorporates Dudley Andre's three pillars of adaptation theory, which include Borrowing, Intersecting and Fidelity, and Transformation theory.
