"A Christmas Carol" by Narinder Dhami is a modern adaptation of Charles Dickens' classic tale. The story follows the transformation of Ebenezer Scrooge, a miserly and cold-hearted man who despises Christmas and all forms of joy. On Christmas Eve, Scrooge is visited by the ghost of his former business partner, Jacob Marley, who warns him to change his ways. He is then visited by three spirits who represent the past, present, and future, revealing the consequences of his choices. Through these encounters, Scrooge learns the importance of generosity, love, and the true spirit of Christmas, ultimately leading to his redemption.
