“Copying is an art to sell the shoe twice to the same customer.” I don’t know who said this line. May be me.
You may send me the name of the Hindi movies with its Hollywood counterpart.
Thanks for your time.
Hollywood movies play the role of a guide for some movie makers in Bollywood. Not only the tune of the music, bit by bit, but the scripts and screenplay of most Bollywood movies are copied from Hollywood movies. Directors like Sanjay Gupta and Vikram Bhatt are called DVD directors.
But I must say, there have been smart Bollywood movies like Aradhna(1969), Sholay(1975) Raaz(2000), Baazigar(1993), Munnabhai MBBS(2003), Rang De Basanti(2006) and Race(2008), which portrays more authenticity than the original score. Whereas, some Bollywood movies copy Hollywood movies scene by scene.
Here is a list of Bollywood movies lifted, inspired or copied from Hollywood films.
