Why are there so many morons in bollywood (industry professionals and people who watch such movies)? Production values are becoming slicker day by day, but the underlined themes/stories are still stolen/copied. It is like sending thief (with modified resume) in suit to work in MNC corporate world - thats at least half the outsourcing gang in India. These gangs and their families only like such bollywood stories.

Deliberate south Indian hindi accent of hack AB (his mom/grandma/father don't have that accent in movie) who has screwed industry for decades, The good use of natural accent is chamatkar accent in 3 idiots. Weird political stunts going on in life of another hack AB Jr etc. The movie doesn't have natural flow.

Dyslexia, progeria, amnesia, asperger - the list is growing. My name is khan (rain man? adam? Mani Ratnam's Bombay (reverse roles) in America with 9/11 background - really pathetic move?) will be another stolen theme.

Anybody who is going to meet AB or Paa team for this BS awareness of Progeria is an idiot. Spend 3 hours with research students/scientists/hospital if you are really interested in rare diseases like Progeria.

So Bollywood is a copycat because it is making movies on rare disease? Hollywood has made heist movies too, does that mean Indian heist movies are copycats too?

All movie makers make movies of all sorts of genres.

Its about ORIGINALITY. Nothing else. Live in your own copycat oblivious world. Bollywood needs you.

why do people get so worked up over movies with similar storylines? hollywood does it, bollywood does it, korean films do it...many international film industries copy each other. it's inevitable.

besides...it's just movies for godsakes...it's not the end of the world. jeez!

PAA or my name is khan DOESNT STEAL the story from anywhere

its a original story, its just based on a rare disease, so what ?

thats like saying all films about historical figures are the same and copied from each other?

the OP is idiot!
