We are an inspired lot

It seems that Bollywood cinema is doomed, or rather the people watching them. The common man is being duped and he does not even seem to care. People are making rip-offs like there was no tomorrow.

Starting from the movie which is yet to be released, Holiday....Oh my God! Is there no sanctity in this world....Two words : Dirty Dancing. The trailers are so suggestive...The dance sequences, the "holiday" mood. Thankfully, they didnt copy the name and keep it something like "Ganda naach" or something.

Next in line : Bluffmaster. This high ticket movie is a rip from The Game (starring Micheal Douglas). Though I must admit that it is a well made one. They have not copied every byte from the original and have tried to innovate.

This one is something so outrageous, that i am just gonna mention the name and the source. You detectives can think up the matter. Deewane hue Paagal - There is something about Mary.
I didnt like Something about Mary, dont like Farley Brothers' ( or some duo ) style. This movie inspite of having a class actor like Paresh Rawal has just debased itself.
Man, how does Kareena go for a loser like Shahid kapoor.

I was duped into thinking that Home Delivery was going to be a copy from Hitch but it was thankfully not so. But the movie was pathetic anyway.

Sarkar was something different. What I like about the movie is that, Ramu acknowledges that it is an inspiration from The Godfather, and that this was his tribute to him. This is acceptable. He is letting the people know.

There is some respite. Movies like Kalyug also exist which was based on the big bad world of Porn industry. The movie was not about sex or erotic art etc, but had presented the topic very tastefully. Interestingly "neal n nikki" had more skin on screen than visible on a cow. What was Kajol's sister thinking..

I bet it would have crossed your mind...Who is this guy who has watched all these useless movies..Man tell me about it!

Cheers

You are wondering how Karrena Kapoor goes for shahid??I am thinking how can shahid go down ugly lane and pick up Kareena!man she is as attactive as all the fat 'maasi's that come to work in every house!Anyway they probably deserve each other.They will live happily in El Stupido land.Kareena kapoor is almost as irritating as Paris Hilton.As for the plagiarism,i can give many more examples more outrageous.The recent Lucky Ali film starring some ugly pakistani actress is a saad copy of Trois coleurs: White!!Beat that!!ANd as for RGV,that guy has only one contribution to the industry-how to rehash.His earliest films show that he can only do satya type of film.His capabilities end there.He has turned rehashing into 'art' cinema celebrated by our apparent viewers who have taste of class.Glad to see you are posting again.Post more often,why dont you?
