    "Gaman" (Departure) is an Urdu language Indian Cinema Art film released in 1978. It is the directorial debut of Muzaffar Ali, who went on to make the successful film Umrao Jaan (1981). The film deals with the issue of futility of urban migration, using the story of migrant from Uttar Pradesh to Mumbai, tries to find with foothold in his new life as a taxi driver.

  • Mandee by Director Shyam Benegal (based on Pakistani Writer Ghulam Abbas' short story "Aanandee"

    Mandi, a Sheyam Benegal Art Film based on the Urdu short story "Aanandee" by veteran Pakistani Urdu short story writer Ghulam Abbas is a beautifully made movie. Shyam Benegal uses small details in many scenes of this artistically crafted movie to highlight the inner turmoil of the characters . . . this style is similar to Ghulam Abbas' style of writing where his text also talks about the inner workings of his characters ... Ghulam Abbas was impressed by Chekhov, Gorky but above all by Maupassant's style of short story writing.

    Interestingly, the blogspot UrduAdabForU states that "In 1967, Ghulam Abbas wrote a short story called Hotel Mohenjodaro which visualised the consequences of the Mullahs coming to power in Pakistan."

    Raincoat is a 2004 Indian Art Film directed by Rituparno Ghosh, and starring Ajay Devgan and Aishwarya Rai. It tells the story of two lovers, separated by destiny, who meet again one day. This encounter allows them to show kindnesses to each other in the form of secret gifts each one leaves for the other. This movie is considered the best of Rituparno Ghosh directed movies. Here, Rituparno uses the idea of O Henry's short story The Gift of the Magi to weave an essentially Indian story rooted in today's India and the love between a man and a woman.  

    "The Gift of the Magi" is a short story, written by O. Henry (a pen name for William Sydney Porter), about a young married couple and how they deal with the challenge of buying secret Christmas gifts for each other with very little money. As a sentimental story with a moral lesson about gift-giving, it has been a popular one for adaptation.
