A mysterious lady comes visiting Ruskin Bond one afternoon. She comes by foot but leaves on a broomstick. Bond’s short story The Black Cat was made into a short film with the same name by Bhargav Saikia. It won two awards at the Critics Choice Short Film Awards 2018. It was also one of Tom Alter’s last films. Bond gave away the story rights free.
Based on a real-life person he knew, Bond wrote a short story called Susanna’s Seven Husbands. It was about a woman who married seven times and each of her husbands vanishes mysteriously. Bond and Vishal Bhardwaj once again collaborated on this story and the result was the film 7 Khoon Maaf. Bond made a cameo appearance in the film.
What happens when a shopkeeper tries to steal a little girl’s blue umbrella? Bond’s The Blue Umbrella, turned into a touching film by Vishal Bhardwaj, about a conflict between a young girl and a mean old man in a small hill town in Himachal Pradesh.
