Published in 1952, Vaikom Muhammed Basheer's short story, "Neelavelicham" remains popular even today. It is a "Ghost story", that narrated an incident in author's life. He describes it as a "bubble of mystery", which, he says, he couldn't 'puncture with the needle of science', and invites his readers to try doing that. Basheer's 1964 screenplay for the film "Bhargaveenilayam" was loosely based on the same story. In 2023, another movie, "Neelavelicham", directed by Ashiq Abu, based on the same Screenplay, hit the screens.
Rather curiously, Basheer's original exhortation to 'puncture' his "bubble of mystery' with the 'needle of science', never a part of the later screenplay, was found given a pride of place in 2023 movie version.
I found this rather embarrassing and explains why.
And, I am trying my hand at puncturing that original bubble, too !
