So this is a rip off from every movie before it that has stalking as part of the story, right? Nonsense.

Well you cant blame him.Most of the Bollywood movies have copied either scenes, songs or sometimes total movie word to word from other movie industry.Shame on Bollywood.

@MovieInspector - thank you for your comment! I get so tired of these youngsters saying one movie is a rip off of another - just how many different ideas do they think even exist in this world. Every time I hear these accusations, I think of the argument - "There are only 30 unique jokes in the world. All the other jokes are built upon the foundations of these 30 original jokes." My biggest problem is that my memory is so bad that I can't remember the examples they use to prove their point, but if you're just simply paying attention to this world, you already agree with the statement without proof being offered.

I think it's ignorant and immature to say shame on Bollywood and yet, there it is at least once for every Indian movie rather it really comes out of Bollywood or some other film center in India. I say shame on Hollyweird for how they have perverted and illegally influenced so many people with their portrayal of what they think life should be like. Back when, there was an FCC law that stated that entertainment needed to support community ideals on average. That meant that if 10% of the population in most mid-sized towns regularly used the "F" word, it should not be used, or at least not over used in entertainment (songs, movies, TV shows) and if it was then that helped to determine the rating it had to use. Now, it's as though Hollyweird believes it's their job to change the rest of America/the world to think what they think and to accept what they accept rather that's language, dress, morals, etc. This is a large part of my reason for starting to watch Indian movies, but over the years I have certainly come to appreciate the entertainment that they offer.

With just these few comments, posters have already mentioned 3 movies that came out of Hollyweird that are very much alike, yet no one mentions that it means that at least 2 of those movies must also be rip-offs according to the thinking here!

Oh well, I suppose it will always be that we have to hear/read such things from children until they mature enough to discover that there really is very little in the world that is truly new.
