Exact copy of Leon- The Professional


The first time i watched it,i really liked it.But many years later i watched this great hollywood film by luc besson..I was stunned.Even some of the dialogues are same,translated in hindi.

What do you expect 90% of Bollywood are bad ripoffs of Western movies

The worst thing is some of the scenes are ditto copy of the original film though the original film was more strong in its story and dialogues.

I really wonder a country with a billion people and one of the biggest film industry in the world does not have a single innovative brain. Bollywood is the biggest industry making remakes of dozens of movies round the globe every year. This is highly exasperating and be taken care of.

LOL, just dialogues?
Even the clothing, the apartments, the gun, story everything was copied. Maybe they copied word bollywood from the word hollywood.

LOL ... yeah, the whole "Bollywood" itself is copied from "Hollywood".. No big deal if they copy movies, but at least they should learn to copy properly. A serious movie with SONGS ??? WTF...

From Wikipedia : "The name "Bollywood" is a portmanteau derived from Bombay (the former name for Mumbai) and Hollywood, the center of the American film industry.[7] However, unlike Hollywood, Bollywood does not exist as a physical place. Though some deplore the name, arguing that it makes the industry look like a poor cousin to Hollywood,[7][8] it has its own entry in the Oxford English Dictionary."
