Default Bollywood : The Great Copycat

After looking at a similar topic at the rival(but dying) forum I thought of starting the topic.......

Here's some classic examples of bollywood copying from west

Heard of I wanna hold your hand by The Beatles ...have a look:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfsvE4j4ExA
Nice song na....

Now to the Indian version:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5ky5ClIjL8

Similar, isn't it??



One more:

Seen the dance sequence of Michael Jackson's famous Thriller video??
Take a look:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9PXSmhNC71E

Now see the Indian Version:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LbvP7dT3Dx0

Ok here's the classic one and a famous one:

Listen to Stevie Wonder's classic>>I Just call to say I love you:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxwJjJq2GZk

Remember hearing it in Hindi?In Salman Khan's movie?
Here's the inspired version:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAM2gpbPTiA


These are some of the examples that comes to my mind. How our bollywood copies from west.

Well.... Everybody knows that bollywood take Inspirations form west. Nothing new about that. I can give you a example of latest movie that took 90% Inspiration from Hollywood and wonder how many people actually know about this?? the movie is:

"I See you", copied from "Just like Heaven"

I've read in some review.. I quote "‘I See You’ at least tells a romantic story from a very fresh perspective".. "Fresh Perspective"..
the funny fact is that original one is 1000 times better than copycat one.

Ya I have heard that song. It was a nice song. Thanks for pointing that out. All this while I always felt uneasy after hearing "Pal pal...". Now I understand.

Anyway, not only songs, Bollywood also copies from movies. I request people to post references to that as well. Right now I am remembering:

"Raaz" - copied from "What lies beneath"
"Hum Tum" - copied from "When Harry met Sally"...

Will post as soon as I remember more.

That's just a little part... See to what I have observed... Many of our movies and songs have indeed been ripped off from bollywood flicks... Let me list up some

  • Amitabh Bachchan and Govinda starrer Bade Miyan Chhote Miyan is copied from Bad Boys...
  • Bobby Deol starrer Chor machaye shor is copied from Blue Streak while double role thing is lifted off old Golmaal.
  • Partner is scene-to-scene copy of Hitch
  • Dhamaal is scene-to-scene copy of Its a Mad Mad Mad Mad World
  • Sholay the greatest bollywood film ever has a few scenes stolen from The Good, The Bad and The Ugly and For a Few Dollars More
  • Dhoom Series has a few scenes like Casino one in part 1 and Diamond in Part 2 lifted off the Ocean's Series
  • A song Chakle Chakle from Hindi Movie Deewane Hue Pagal is exactly stolen from Kevin Lyttle's Turn Me On...
This is indeed a long list... I think I still know a few more which I cannot remember at the moment but it really feels bad when we find out that movies and songs that we love as our own are not really our own...

Do you know that the main inspiration behind Sholey, India's most famous movie, were Clint Eastwood's movies like The Good, The Bad and The Ugly ? Many parts from the movies look the same.
