Description
MR. Sampath – The novel comprises two parts: the first part deals with the publication of a newspaper and is centered on Mr. Sampath, and the second part focuses on movie production and is centered on Mr. Srinivas.
In the first part, to bring out the journal The Banner, Mr. Srinivas, the editor, and Mr. Sampath, the printer, have to work together. The two entirely contrasting good-hearted characters forge a great partnership that makes The Banner the center of attention in Malgudi. However, a situation arises and they have to temporarily discontinue the journal.
In the second part, Srinivas and Sampath join hands with a film-making company where they have to trace varying paths, with their special bond still very deep. A love affair with the actress of the movie makes life difficult for the daring and over-ambitious Sampath, while the ethical Srinivas has his problems of over-responsibility. Some sour incidents in the studio force Srinivas to quit and revive his Banner with another printer, which doesn’t seem to bother Sampath, caught entirely in the heroine’s charm. But Sampath comes back after the loss of the lady, his wealth, fame, and peace.
