Differences

Alibabavum 40 Thirudargalum is different from Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves in some ways:

  • The character Morgiana is known as Marziana in this film. She is also depicted as a once rich girl who turned slave, though she was always a slave in the original story.
  • She marries Alibaba at the end of the film, although Alibaba was already married in the original story, where Morgiana married his son.
  • In the original story when Morgiana overhears the conversation between the thieves and their leader, she kills the thieves by pouring hot oil in each of the barrels containing them. In this film, she however gives the job to her aide who tosses the barrels into the river.
  • In the original story, it is Morgiana who suddenly kills the thief leader, later disclosing his true identity. In the film, Alibaba himself finds out the truth after Morgiana fails to kill the thief, leading to a fight between Alibaba and him.

Famous quotes containing the word differences:

    What strikes many twin researchers now is not how much identical twins are alike, but rather how different they are, given the same genetic makeup....Multiples don’t walk around in lockstep, talking in unison, thinking identical thoughts. The bond for normal twins, whether they are identical or fraternal, is based on how they, as individuals who are keenly aware of the differences between them, learn to relate to one another.
    Pamela Patrick Novotny (20th century)

    What we have to do ... is to find a way to celebrate our diversity and debate our differences without fracturing our communities.
    Hillary Rodham Clinton (b. 1947)

    No sooner had I glanced at this letter, than I concluded it to be that of which I was in search. To be sure, it was, to all appearance, radically different from the one of which the Prefect had read us so minute a description.... But, then, the radicalness of these differences ... these things ... were strongly corroborative of suspicion.
    Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
