There is a difference in being an adaptaion and being a rip off.
It's an adaptaion. So the script it not original. I look at it in the same way as adapting a novel. But, direction is about how the story is told. Not the script.

Yeah, yeah. And who are you to talk about direction? What do you know about cameras in the first place? Are you an authority on direction? Do you even know how to operate a video camera?
A licensed copy is another word for a rip-off. You don't see the Bhatt camp winning awards. They make movies in 1 crore, get 2 crores out of it, and are happy with it. Not even an insane person will call their movies even decent.
How do you tell a 'story' in a different way? It's not the same as adapting from a novel. It has been adapted from another movie, so there is bound to be something common even in the direction.
I'm not saying it is a good movie or a bad movie, hell I don't even care for stupid awards. I still wonder why India sends its movies to such stupid awards. Whom do we want recognition from? What I mean is that a rip-off should NOT win an award.
Black was licensed, too; but weren't the rip-off sharks out in the open when it was released?
What would you know about Hindi movies anyways? You haven't watched the best three hindi movies of all time. It's really sad that you can name all characters of the latest American cheap thrillers, but you can't name three theatre personalities. Then you start talking about acting, direction etc.
