Not an original film
I haven't seen the movie but, reading the synopsis, it appears to be a
rip off of the French movie Dinner Game
(http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119038/)
I've seen bheja fry but not Dinner Game... i read the plot summary of dinner game and seems you're right
shareharreeey nadim bhai, why paresan about any Ajkal ka indian movie is or not a rip off of a foreign movie. It by default will be so. They just sit infront of Star Movies, HBO with a pen and pad n make films here today.
sharewhat are u TALKINGG about EVERYONE does it. so WHY does the blame always go to Indians??? America copies SO many movies man, so judge everyone equally.
shareYes, Hollywood does it too, but nowhere even close to the frequency and the odacity that Bollywood does it with. You can only be "judged equally" as you say, if you have equal culpability. In this case that is the furthest from the truth.
In addition, when Hollywood directors/producers copy movies, they do it with some level of sophistication, and not like Bollywood directors who copy it by mechanical plagiarism without any application of their mind.
I'd also assume that Hollywood is more likely to pay royalties, than Bollywood.
And of course, two wrongs do not make a right.
i don't think anybody can disagree with your arguement.
shareI disagree. Copying is different from stealing. Bollywood may copy and not give credit, but Hollywood gives credit. Here your argument is about copying. In that case, Hollywood copies 10 times more than Bollywood, which is sad because Bollywood comes out with 10 times more movies. 99% of Hollywood movies are either remakes, sequels, based on books, comics, video games, and now based on tv shows/cartoons. Hollywood even copies its own films. There have been so many films with:
an independent adult who suddenly finds out he/she has a child;
an animal that helps a kids sport team win a game;
a cop and his buddy save the day;
a cop and an animal are partners;
there have been 100s of remakes of a Roman Holiday;
This new decade will be the 3rd generation of the Holloween, Freddy, and Jason films!!!
Don't *beep* blame bollywood, when u have no knowledge in films!
moviefan70 - I think there is a difference between using the same sorts of characters and basic plotlines and something like Bheja Fry.
I remember my Mum asked me to watch this ages ago. I normally don't love Bollywood movies but I watched this one yesterday and I got madder and madder as the movie unfolded. I absolutely ADORE "Le diner de cons" and this was just such a blatant lift from it that I was just... I don't know what to say.
I mean, you have movies like Main Aisa Hi Hoon and Koi Mil Gaya that could be argued to be remakes of Hollywood movies (I Am Sam and Close Encounters respectively) but Bheja Fry is ridiculous.
It's like they can't come up with original ideas. And every time I watch a Bollywood movie that is halfway good, I discover that it's a copy.
Pathetic.
Go right ahead and flame me for what I have just said, but this my honest opinion.
