Any guesses which movie's copy is Talaash?
please let me know as most of the indian movies are ridiculous replicas of foreign movies so i want to watch the original one just to avoid wasting my time over this one.
shareIts an Aamir Khan movie, so will be orig & will be brilliant.
sharePlease tell me you do not believe this....One of his most recent movies Ganjini was a rip-off of Memento.
shareHave you even seen "Memento", do you even now the meaning of "rip-off"? The only thing similar between memento and Ghajini is the concept of short-term memory loss and the guy who has it uses tattoos and pictures as memories, and it is a disease, just because Memento had that doesn't mean any other film cannot use that disease for its story. Ghajini is about revenge its more like a love story, and memento is entirely different, deep and artistic.
Talaash will not be a "rip-off" of any movie, sure it could have some ideas from other movies and books (name one movie which is completely original nowadays), but that won't mean it's a rip-off.
@OP - It is true that most bollywood movies are rip-offs of foreign movies, but please do not place Aamir Khan's movies under that category, Just because Ghajini was a little bit unoriginal doesn't mean you can ignore his other brilliant movies and why does it even matter if the movie is unoriginal, as long as it serves its purpose that is to entertain.
@ rajatbarman
WOW you are just a blind fan of Amir khan. You are stupid for believing amirs movies arent copied. I can give u a list of them movies which are a complete rip off from idea to execution.
1. Ghulaam = On the waterfront (marlon Brando) Watch the original movie Marlon is epic in this movie.
2. Akele Hum Akele Tum = Kramer Vs Kramer
3. Dil Hai ke Maanta nahi = It happened one night
4. Ghajini = Memento (Idea copied)
5. Mann = An Affair to Remember
6. Fanaa = Eye of the Needle
I will add more as i remember them. But i am dead sure there are many more movies of him which are a hollywood rip off. Amir is a brilliant actor, but he dosent always have a hand in the story or script. So its stupid to actually say, Amirs films arent copied, cuz hes just an actor.
P.S Get ur facts right before u call anyone stupid.

@ sixtyfourmb
Thanks i thought it was one of my better creations lol, jk. The list is so long, it will start looking more like a petition for more traffic lights lol. Those are the only Amir movies i could think of which were plagiarized. But theres more, Be it shahrukh, salman, ajay, sunny or even amitabh. The list is really long. And copying sound tracks, songs, music from all over the world, well thats another thing all together
About that list, He was not involved in the making of any of those movies.
He began only from Lagaan & most of the movies he has "made" are mostly original.
Did not mean to rain on your parade, but you have a good point, just that it does not apply here 8)
@Itzumang
Damn if there was ever a cure for stupidity i wudve definitely put you first in the line!!! Dude, Lagaan was made by Ashutosh Gowarikar, and not Amir Khan!!! Sheesh.....The first movie that "Amir" directed officially was Taaren Zameen Par, in which half movie was directed by Amol Gupte (but since he walked out, Amir took all the credit himself), Amol has also written this film. Amir has not made any movies apart from Taaren zameen par, Though he has been an active producer (and maybe some involvement in direction) in Jaane tu ya Jaane na, Though Abbas tyrewala is clearly talented enough to do it on his own. Amir is just an actor, and may have his say while the film making, but HE DOSENT MAKE THE MOVIES.
P.S. READ MY LAST LINE IN MY LAST POST, You will regret posting your reply!!! And if still your dumb or lazy enough to not read and fully understand, I have already wrote, that AMIR isnt the one writing the script or directing it. HE IS JUST AN ACTOR, WHO ACTS. SO ITS THE WRITERS FAULT AND NOT HIS, IF THEY ARE PLAGIARIZING.
Whats with the screaming?
you worried about fixing me so much than putting your point across?
put your self 1st in the line.
about making... the producer agrees & approves on what the director wants to do, also passes the expenditure cheques "after" approving the script which means he'd not go with inspired shyte.

I rest my case.
You actually have no point at all!!! Buddy all your quotes apply on yourself and not me!! Cuz you the one arguing over something which has already been said by me. I dont know if you are a fan of amir or not, but i definitely am. About 90% (if not more) movies are a total rip off of the hollywood films. And since they arent written by the actors who act in it, The actors cannot be blamed for plagiarism, Unless they have copied the acting style of another actor!! Please stop replying to my post. Cuz you really have nothing extra to offer to me.
shareGood list! U seem to have a tight grip on cinema.. white knuckle tight!
share@rajatbarman: No body has issues with borrowed ideas from other movies("so called inspiration"). But filmmaker should be gracious enough to acknowledge it in film credits. Like Ramu did it in Sarkar.
"why does it even matter if the movie is unoriginal, as long as it serves its purpose that is to entertain."
------All hail Bollywood----- I rest my case
Ghajni was crap!! MEMENTO was AWESOME!!
its an Aamir khan movie so what? what was ghajni all about memento or anything else and shame on him by not even accepting this reality on the contrary he in an interview thanked the ripped regional one.
Well done Mr So Called Perfectionist its is regrettable that in India people consider it a blasphemy to criticize actors like aamir amitabh etc notwithstanding the fact that they owe this to the Indian audience to present them original cinema.
Nobody owes anyone squat!! If you want to blame somebody, blame it on the story writer and the film maker. These guys are just actors. If its a good story, then they will act in it irrespective of whether its a rip-off. Atleast now a days, the producers buy the copyrights. But in the last 30-35 years, 3/4th of the films that we have seen in bollywood is a rip-off of one movie (from another language or even another country). It was not very apparent to us then, but now with internet, such things comes out in the open very soon.
BTW, Ghulam was from Vikram Bhatt, Fanaa is a Kunal Kohli film - both are known for their originality :LOL. And Ghajini(H) was a remake by the same director (Murugadoss) who did it in Tamil. Nobody is saying that these are originals. But these film makers dont even have the courtesy to acknowledge that.
Peeps Lurrrrv hating on Hindi movies and Lurrrv to play the 'they are rip-offs of Hollywood movies' card. Well guess what? A big amount of Hollywood movies are 'rip-offs' of East Asian (Japan, Korea, Hong Kong) movies! I prefer to call them 'remakes' rather than 'rip-offs'. Hollyood ruin alot of the remakes just as Bollywood do BUT there are some that work very well too. Bollywood has a smaller budget than Hollywood but have done amazingly well over the last 15 odd years. Who would've thought 15 years ago that Bollywood movies would appear in mainstream Cinemas in Britain and the US regularly?
It was the Acting of Aamir Khan that took Bollywood to the Oscars remember?
Its not really about preference, a remake and rip off is not the same thing.
A remake is official. With official being the keyword.
You actually buy the rights, and promote the film as a remake. When people buy the tickets they know they are going to watch a remake.
Now if bollywood do that, I have no issues whatsoever. They can remake every film ever made, if they REMAKE it.
With a rip off, you just shamelessly take an idea, and concept someone else came up with and claim its a original story. Without letting You know (as an audience) that the movie you are watching is actually a story the director took from somewhere else, you have no chance to find out unless you have already seen the original. Lets say its a film with a twist ending. The original will be ruined for you.
Now.... what if YOU make a brilliant movie, then I watch it.
I take your premise, your plot, your characters, your key scenes, even some of the shots, I even translate some of the freaking dialogue you wrote from english to hindi, but then I add a comedic subplot, or songs, dumb it down, and claim its a original concept. Im sure you wouldnt appreciate that.

Ghulam : on the waterfront
Ghajni was a remake so what???Does that make movies like Tzp,Rdb,Dch,lagaan,sarfarosh rip offs?Anyone can see why did he do ghajni,it was the role which lured him into the project.He has got better sense of movie making than most of the bollywood have a look at his home production for that.About this movie it is written by zoya akhtar and anurag kashyap if you haven't seen their movies then i would recommend you to watch them first and then comment.Btw i assume you are not that much into hindi movies,coz if you find aamir's movies shameful i don't think you even bother to watch others.
