Hollywood Movies Copied by Bollywood

After writing yesterdays article about Bollywood being sued for coping a Hollywood movie, Curry Bear went back to his Indian DVD collection (located behind his old Playstation, pass the porn, and right next to his dil…ahem I mean his dil pickles). Curry Bear decided to go back and see how many Indian movies he can name that had a scene or plot stolen from a Hollywood movie. This is what I came up with (with a little help of course).

    I guess you guys made a wrong entry for this :

    Kaante copied from Reservoir Dogs

    Chocolate copied from The Usual Suspects

    it should be vice-versa :

    Chocolate copied from Reservoir Dogs

    Kaante copied from The Usual Suspects

    LOL! Apparently these ABCD dimwits can’t even get this one thing right.

    All you thick-skulled, brain-atrophied whoring ABCDs are capabe of are emulating Bollywood dances, and calling youselves a blend of the east and the west!

    Hello extremely dumb ABCDs – at-least do your “due” home-work, before you go off posting “excerpts” from your half-baked brains!

    just go with it is based on the 1969 film Cactus Flower, which was adapted from an earlier Broadway stage play written by Abe Burrows, which in turn was based upon the French play Fleur de cactus.

    so maine pyar kum kiya is an exact copy of cactus flower

    Regarding Dhamaal, it is more copied from it’s a mad mad mad mad world more rather than of Rat Race. Both the movies has the similarity in a person telling about treasure below a big W of a park (Big W being trees), people going individually in the mission of finding the treasure, aeroplane scene where the pilot pass-out and control tower has talkative person giving direction, cops hunting for them, and so on. Even though some punches are inspired from Rat Race, Dhamaal is a copy of It’s a mad mad mad mad world.
