Believe it.Here is the list of 10 Hollywood Movies Copied from Indian Movies.

Bollywood movies have been rather infamous for lifting plots from Hollywood movies. From 'Satte Pe Satta' which was heavily inspired by 'Seven Brides for Seven Brothers' to 'God Tussi Great Ho' that was a complete rip-off of 'Bruce Almighty', every generation has seen Bollywood films that have been 'inspired' by Hollywood. It is frustrating every time you watch a Hindi movie and find scenes that bear a strong resemblance to scenes from Hollywood movies. But did you know Hollywood has also copied Indian movies on more than once occasions?

It may come as a surprise, but there are Hollywood movies that are direct copies of Indian movies. The most recent example of this is the Hollywood movie 'Leap Year' that instantly reminds you of the hugely popular Bollywood movie 'Jab We Met'. You'll be surprised to learn how many award-winning Hollywood movies have the same plot as a few Indian movies that were released way before them. We found 10 such examples here.

Pearl Harbour – Sangam: The Love Triangle Drama in a war-torn backdrop shown in ‘Pearl Harbor’ (2001) is horridly influenced from the Indian Classic ‘Sangam’ (1964). The Hollywood movie was heavily criticised for its misleading name as it was based on a love triangle rather than on the incident of Pearl Harbor itself.

Jab We Met – Leap year: The creators of ‘Leap Year (2010)’ claim it is not a remake of ‘Jab We Met (2007),’ but the plot and scenes are way too similar for us to believe it. Both are about a talkative, silly girl who is determined to get to her boyfriend so she can propose to him. Along the way, she has to get help from a young down-on-his-luck man. They argue. They stay at a hotel and have to share a room. They fall in love. They separate. Their lives are forever changed because of their brief time together. They reunite. The end. The only differences are that "Leap Year" takes place in Ireland and focuses on Irish tradition and "Jab We Met" has musical numbers.

A Wednesday – A Common Man: A Common Man is a 2013 thriller film starring Oscar Award winner Ben Kingsley and Ben Cross and directed by Sri Lankan film makerChandran Rutnam. The film is an official remake of the Indian thriller A Wednesday! (2008), but Rutnam reworked the screenplay of this highly suspenseful thriller. A Common Man is an award winning movie that won Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actor awards at the Madrid International Film Festival and bronze medal in the Feature Films category at the New York Festivals’ International Television and Film Awards, three of the 119 Gold World Medals, 145 Silver, 104 Bronze, and 327 Finalist Certificates awarded that day.

Vicky Donor – Delivery man: The Delivery Man (2013) was loosely based on Vicky Donor (2012). Both the movies have the heroes donating their sperms for money and giving birth hundreds of kids. The central plot of the movies are the same.

Divorce invitation – Aahvaanam: Hollywood saw the 1997 Telegu film ‘Aahvaanam’ being remade into ‘Divorce Invitation’. Both the movies had the same director, SV Krishan Reddy. Who ventured into Hollywood with the 2012 English romantic comedy, Divorce Invitation.

Just Go With It – Maine Pyaar Kyu Kiya: ‘Just Go With It’ (2011), the Jen Anniston and Adam Sandler movie is a copy of ‘Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya’ (2005)? Though both of them have been inspired ‘Cactus Flower’, they still differ from the original considerably. The resemblance between ‘Just Go With It’ and ‘Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya’, however, is uncanny.

Darr- Fear: ‘Darr’ is one of Bollywood's biggest successes. Shah Rukh Khan created a character no one will copy. Only in ‘Darr’ do you wish the crazy stalker would win the girl and the protective husband would die. ‘Darr’ inspired ‘Fear,’ but many scenes are very similar. The biggest difference is the stalker becomes the boyfriend, whereas in ‘Darr’ the poor crazy stalker doesn't get a chance with the girl. The obvious proof that ‘Fear’ is a remake is when the stalker carves the girl's name on his chest, which famously originated in ‘Darr’.

Rangeela – Win A Date With Tad Hamilton: ‘Rangeela’ (1995) is about a lovable loser who can't compete with a famous actor when it comes to winning the affections of a certain girl. ‘Win a Date With Tad Hamilton’ (2004) is about the exact same thing. The biggest difference is that in ‘Win a Date With Tad Hamilton’ the girl wins a date with Tad Hamilton. In ‘Rangeela,’ the girl earns an audition for a part in the actor's new movie.

Hitch – Chhoti Si Baat: ‘Hitch’ (2005) was inspired by the Bollywood film ‘Chhoti Si Baat,’ although no one has said so publicly. ‘Chhoti Si Baat’ (1975) is about a shy man who wants to woo a certain woman. He tries to mimic a charming, suave ladies man, but fails hopelessly. He gets help from a man who makes it his business to help people change their lives. ‘Hitch’ takes the two characters supporting the lovelorn guy and turns them into one, played by Will Smith.

Kill Bill – Abhay: It seems Tarantino was inspired by the animation sequence in the 2001 Tamil film ‘Aalavanthan’ (Hindi: Abhay) . The Kill Bill ‘O-Ren Ishii Japanese’ animation sequence was adapted from that. Apparently Tarantino admitted in a private conversation with Anurag Kashyap that the celebrated animation-action sequence in Kill Bill was inspired from 2001 Tamil film, Kamal Haasan starrer, Aalavanthan. Kashyap says, ‘Yes, Sight and Sound critic Naman Ramchandran first told me this. So when I met Quentin in Venice I asked him whether the Manga sequence in Kill Bill was inspired from an Indian film and he excitedly remarked, ‘Yes, I saw this Indian serial-killer film which showed violence as animated.’’ Kashyap explains, ‘There is only one Indian serial-killer film which was made before Kill Bill where violence was animated, and that was Abhay/Aalavanthan.’

Sylvester Stallone wins copyright infringement case

Sylvester Stallone has reportedly won a copyright infringement case filed against him for stealing the plot for 'The Expendables' from another screenwriter Marcus Webb.

 

Allegations:

                       Corporate speechwriter Marcus Webb, writer of The Cordoba Caper, alleged that Stallone's super action heros film borrowed heavily from his own script, a claim Stallone denies. He says ”Stallone's Expendables screenplay had 20 "striking similarities" to his own, The Cordoba Caper. Stallone admits the theme is  based on a different script entitled Barrow by David Callahan, but that he has never seen Webb's. (Callahan is credited as co-writer on the final Expendables script.)

 

Similarities:

The similarities between Webb's and Stallone's scripts are striking at first glance.

 

The Cordoba Caper involves the adventures of highly trained soldiers of fortune, employed by a wealthy benefactor to take out a ruthless tyrant engaged in genocidal programs related activities. This obviously bears a striking resemblance to the plot of The Expendables, right down to the 'rescuing a young woman' subplot. The only problem? It also sounds a lot like about 500 other action films.

 

Judgment:

                      The judge agreed that the plot points used in both films were "simple stock devices that are standard in action movies." Even The Expendables' most solid similarity to The Cordoba Caper - the villain in both stories is named 'General Garza' – was dismissed as such. "As defendants point out," Rakoff said, "Garza is a common Hispanic surname."

 

why it may not be copied?

                         Webb's script was never picked up for development. He submitted it to several amateur screenwriting contests, none of which he won, prompting to note that, "It would require almost endless speculation" to conjure up the means by which Stallone would have laid eyes on it and used it in his film.

 

verdict: The Cordoba Caper is a story written by Marcus Webb. It is neither made into a film nor developed completely to be used as a screen play. So the probability is too narrow to say Stallone copied it down.

Manasantha nuvve(2001)-‘chepana prema’ song copied

MOVIE :      Manasantha Nuvve(2001)

CAST   :      Uday Kiran, Reemasen

DIRECTOR:  V.N.Adithya

MUSIC :       R.P.Patnaik

                       The song ‘Chepana prema’ from the movie Manasanta nuvve(2001) was a huge hit when the movie released and it became a humming tune to many and played a crucial role in the movie success. It was a melodious tune well complemented by the lyrics.  Not just the movie, it even stabilized the position of R.P.Patnaik as a sensible music director. 

 

                        But the actual story is that , It was a balant lift from "Dov'è l'amore" (Italian pronunciation: [doˈvɛ laˈmoːɾe]; English: Where's the Love), the fourth international single by American singer-actress Cher from her twenty-third studio album, Believe, released on July 6, 1999.

 

                       But the song isn’t copied with the high pitch fast beat rather converted into a melody-mixed slow beat tune. R.P.Patnaik once again showed his interest in slow melodies while the original one was a disco-dance song.(if you are youth ,u gonna definitely like the original as it is fast paced & pumps up our body).

 

P.S: Had you noticed that the background track played in the movie ‘Dhee(2007)’ during the introduction scene of genilia(dancing on bed) is none other than ‘Dov'è l'amore’.

 

Now CCR Gonna 'REVEAL' it for you the original song of ‘chepana prema’

Sisindri(1995)-‘chinni tandri’ song copied(Nov14-spL)

  

               

              The song ‘chinni tandri’ from the movie sisindri(1995) is one of the most melodious and ‘maternity’ song in telugu. Whenever and wherever we listen to this song it gonna definitely melt our hearts and reminds us of our mom.

 

       But unfortunately this lovely tune is not an original composition by the music director of movie- Raj. Don’t get confused him to be koti. Raj and koti are two different persons who formed a band ‘Raj-koti’ and composed music under its name. But the music to this movie was composed by Raj alone. 

              The original song is "Sweet Lullaby" which is a world music/ethnic electronica song by Deep Forest.

 

       Ofcourse its a balant copy, Ofcourse its a rip-off without credits to the original but one thing that's true, ‘raj’ has shown us the taste of mom’s love and care by this inspiration. Thanks to him regarding this. But its not a good practice to stole someone's creativity and show-up as ones own creation.

 

P.S: as per Wiki-sisindri(1995) is a remake of Hollywood film Baby's Day Out (1994). Don’t know whether the copyrights are taken.(mostly NO as our directors don't take rights from Hollywood- rather directly rip it off)

 

CCR gonna reveal the original song of sisindri.

Ghajini Movie Blind Man Scene Copied

                                                 Movie : Ghajini

                                        Director  : A. R. Murugadoss

         The blockbuster Indian Trilingual movie ‘Ghajini’ has been critically acclaimed for its new kind of storyline and uneven screenplay.It made a mark on indian cinema in terms of critics and collections after its remake in bollywood post its successful franchise in TAMIL and TELUGU.

 

           Although it has been alleged for copying the movie from Hollywood movie ‘Memento(2000)’, frankly speaking its just an inspiration at peeks. How many of you have seen ‘Memento’,even after watching it How many of you can clearly grasp the entire plot of the movie . The answer could be very few because the  Screenplay isn't a conventional style. The movie has a duel Screenplay,first of its kind in Hollywood, of which one goes forward while other comes backward. It requires a repeated screening of the film to get a clear clarity. Well after all its a typical ‘Christopher Nolan’ Master piece.

 

          But our ghajini is beautifully scripted with a cute lovestory and uneven screenplay. only the storyline , protagonist appearance ,polaroid's and the plot are  inspired and presented in a spectacular style. Remember its not always easy to make a master piece from a master piece. Kudos A. R. Murugadoss.   

         

           Well coming to the above mentioned scene, its copied from a French movie ’Amelie’(2001)

 

P.S: Coincidentally the background music from the below scene has been copied by pritam for BURFII(2012).

 

CCR gonna reveal the copied blind man scene from ‘Ghajini’

CRIMINAL- 'Telusa Manasa' copied from ENIGMA-Age of Loneliness

MOVIE                      :   CRIMINAL

CAST                         :    Nagarjuna , Manisha Koirala

SONG                        :   Telusa Manasa

MUSIC DIRECTOR:      KEERAVANI

                    one of the 'most beautiful' and 'Heart Touching Melody' ever to be 'COMPOSED' in Telugu Film Industry.I  wont be surprised to say that 'Telusa Manasa' is still the 'HEART BEAT' of many music lovers ,if not atleast the 'RingTone' of a many.

                       

                    The humming music and the feel in the song made it  'ETERNAL'. Especially the haunting music at the beginning of the song make us feel 'Out Of The World'. This is where our great music director Keeravani used his skills in replicating. 

 

                    In the opening para i mentioned 'COMPOSED'  to reveal the'COPYNESS' of keeravani later in this para. This song would have been the pride of TFI if ,whatsoever, it was Originally composed by him. asusual our Great music director copied from the pop song 'AGE OF LONELINESS by ENIGMA'.

As per our known knowledge he only ripped off the theme and the haunting background of the song and itsn't  a complete balant copy.   

 

P.S: Don't know whether he orginally composed the rest of the song himself. Hope So.

 

We gonna Reveal it to you The Original tune to 'Telusa Manasa'.

 

*NOTE*-LISTEN WITH FULL VOLUME TO GET THE FEEL.
