Rikki: Differences Between Book And Movie

Watching the movie before a book is a little weird. Most think the book has the mistakes until they look it up.The Rikki-Tikki-Tavi story and short film’s differences are hard to spot. Unless looking at the story as a whole, finding the differences would be hard. The story is based off a mongoose being found by a family, who then saves the family from two cobras living in their garden. Not much could change between a simple fight like the one the antagonists and protagonists fight. Looking over the whole plot contains some of the three main factors of the actual story, first reviewing the conflict, or what caused the plot of the story, the climax, and the falling action-resolution. Next would be the film’s conflict, climax, and resolution. Looking at all of those will give a general idea

Some small differences were what Rikki ate throughout the start of the movie and the bathroom scene. At the start, instead of meat Rikki eats a banana, which he eats later in the story. While the bungalow family’s son is taking a bath, rikki explores the bathroom, which he did in the book. Rikki, in the film, seemed to explore the bathroom a lot more in the movie. Rikki even checked out the bath itself. Rikki decides to explore the bungalow and confronts the bird family, who seem to be afraid of Nag, but no details are given if they ever even had a child to begin with, The encounter with Nag is basically the same. During the movie, the man doesn’t shoot Nag after Rikki kills him, so Nag doesn’t end up as “two pieces”. Darzee’s victory song, this time, is given a whole minute of singing. The book never had the lyrics in the story, but where show in a separate page. The Nagaina knows Rikki killed Nag, so she decides to take revenge on him by killing the bungalow family. Rikki tricks Nagaina the same way, and they go back to the same rat
