I’ve noticed many Hollywood movies and Pakistani dramas are based on novels.

For those who’ve read the original books and watched the adaptations—

how similar are they? Do they stay true to the story, or are there major changes?

Which do you usually prefer: the novel or the screen version?

Do classics like Umaro Ayyar, Inspector Imran, and Inspector Jamshed still hold up today, or are they more about nostalgia?

Would new readers enjoy them, or do they feel outdated now?
