Hollywood Movies Copied by Bollywood
ShareThis
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 m no bollywood fan n i havent seen any, but i ve watch horror movies from all the world esp asian horrors. so if any bolly comes up wit horror i scorn for the original..n i know asian movies (chinese/korean/japanese) movies r harder to b noticed whereas hollywood one can spot in a min. so bollywood watch out when u make a horror movie haha.
Naina-The eye (Hong Kong movie). This was frame by frame n the producer denied it..wat a crap!
i dunno the name of this bolly movie but its horror n the poster has this girl on a window. the poster was ripped from the japanese horror movie “rofuto” but i dunno bout the movie coz i didnt bother watchin.
My advice to bollywood producers,wanna ripped off a movie??? Atleast have the courtesy to acknowledge the original like Hollywood does.
bollywood is shit
They suck! They have little if any original ideas! A backwards primitive people who got their hands on media tech, 40 years too late!
Не, не сам.. Прочитал где то
The only movie makers are Hollywood all other movies are just copied from them
dude no one copies movies .they r just bloody inspiration.who the hell said Hollywood movies r original.nobody knows the fact that movies E.T story copied from an Indian script.i dnt know the name but actually an indian person had similar story n had gone wid the script to hollywood. but nobody was interested that time.but within 2 years after the incidence E.T was released.
Hollywood copy movies from book n etrcs. they r shit yaar. they do all the shitting stuff in movie just to easn money that’s it.
its not that only bollywood copies..hollywood does so too.a lota hollyh movies are copied from japanese or korean flicks..the ring??..and morover i think most of holly movies are based on books.or remakes .so when it comes to creativity,then hollywood crew is not good either. and as said bollywood makes over 800 movies a year.not all are copied.some very good movies go unnoticed.and one more thing almost 75% of above mentioned movies flopped.so it is not that indian viewers are fool or something who cant make judgements.and as i see even all of the above mentioned movies are not a copy..some are,but others are inspired. what do they show in movies? that content is comman..
sometimes its just copied unknowingly..i don`t deny plagiarism in bollywood.it is there..but its not limited to bollywood.
Меня заинтересовал этот материал, не могли бы Вы поподробнее и с дополнениями раскрыть эту тему?
Insiparation is a very decent word which replaces copy.. You are just bloody copy cats…
Много мнений и критики, не могу поддержать большинство, а просто добавлю в избраное и буду следить за комментами
Im new here and i enjoy music and movies alot , Hope lots of ppl like me here
watch tamil movies online
Bollywood is annoying bullshit
Guys,
I hope you all know what money is minted in days..DON collects 90 crores of a remake. Love aaj kal copy of Thai movie makes 75 crores net profit in 10 days. Guys no business like show business unfortunately only few people are enjoying it. No matter how growing or developing country we are, there is lot of money from labor,loser to job going to multiplex goers. Diwali Main aur Mrs Khanna look like mere 3 crore films mints 12 crores. Though we know the original material, but as long as people watch it its hafty business…today its Akshay Kumar tomorrow it will be his son. While we will only pay EMIs for childs education.. not against but show biz is only for smart headed copycats.
Baadshah was not just a copy of Nick of Time, it was also using parts of the movies If Looks Could Kill and Rush Hour. Formula for new movie ideas = Study and modify scripts of various movies and Mix & Match.
The list in this site is just the tip of the iceberg. But I would like to remind all of you reading this that it is not the fact that Bollywood copies that is the issue. The issue is Bollywood does not credit, in any form, the source of the story or concept used. When you quote the source it becomes “Inspiration” and when you do not, it becomes “Plagiarism”.
Plagiarism is the worst crime there is!!
20th Century Fox recently served a legal notice for the blatant copy of the movie My Cousin Vinny into the movie Banda Yeh Bindaas Hai, to the tune of 7 crores. Imagine all the hollywood studios doing it, Bollywood (all studios) will go bankrupt in a day. I am still only talking of movies and I do not even wish to go close to the music scene.
I refuse to believe that in a country with a population of 1.2 billion, there are not enough smart minds to come up with something novel (Well we do have a few, but not enough it seems). And please, we as a country are not isolated from the rest of the world. People notice and notice well. My suggestion and request for everyone reading this – please use your own thoughts and ideas and give the due credit to everyone, they deserve it!!
Kya kehna was based on hollywood movie
please tell me that holly movie
Bollywood is shit….. Hollywood is Superb they are creators logical… Every and each movie off bollywood is copied from Hollywood.
omg!!
the bike scenes in dhoom resemble those in torque and the fight sequence between abhishek and john over the truck is the same as that in con air. even some scenes in D2 are as similar as D2. and the movie Hijack is a copy of Con Air. and what about TaraRumPum? it’s a straight-lift of Cinderella Man.
Cash- (wannabe) Ocean’s 12.
Bollywood…please be genuine for once…an original is defintely more worthy than a copy!
kaminey – a rip-off of the brad pitt starrer “Across the Tracks”
Well, you forget the bollywood movie “Mission Istanbul”
and that is a copy of Mission Impossible.
Cant wait to see if they make a curry version of Saw.
“Oh, lord Shiva save me from the Curry monster”.
BICHOO IS COPIED FROM LEON OLLY SHIT I DIDN’T KNEW THAT I JUST SAW IT ON YOUTUBE OLLY FUCK MEN BOLLYWOOD IS SHIT OF HOLLYWOOD
BUT I STILL LOVE BOLLYWOOD CUS DONT UNDERSTAND IN ENGLISH MOVIES
who cares its copied or not people get fun before they get bored so what else they need than indian people watch the movies that they never have seen white people watch the movies that they never have seen so who has a problem who cares its just a metter of life when u get bored u watch movie people eat have fun and they go thats it mennnnnnnnnnn and one more think its not easy to make new stories this is how the world goes if u guys were there u guys would do the same think DO U GUYS WOULD DO CARE HUN HUN HUN if its copied or not every one cares for THE MONEY MEN MONEYYY
really bollywood movies are shit no new ideas, actors/actress are buckets of shit.

Bollywood is still unique in a way that Hollywood not. Bollywood movies still have a diffrenent language and songs and dances that make it unique! Anyways no one call Bollywood shit, if they haven’t seen every movie??? Watch Kuch Kuch Hota hei or Kal ho na hoo(My favorite movie ever!) Anyways Bollywood has a history thing that goes with it, My grandparents loved Bollywood so much that when they were in India they would always try to catch a movie there. So sue me if I love Bollywood movies, it bring me back to my culture and my country that my grandparents and mother were born.
