Similar to A Perfect World (2003)


End was the same.
Rest of the movie molded to indian setup.

Don't be surprised, lots of Bollywood movies are 'inspired' by lesser known Hollywood ones. Standard practice over the years. Some, like this one, actually turn out to be good on their own while the rest are poor imitations.

Its not copy of A Perfect World (2003), but a ditto copy of our own desi TV serial named Highway (Rishtey) 1999 (Zee TV). As usual creativity as the best, the serial was about 40 min in length, what director had done is just stretched 40 min serial to a 2 hours movie. Director has copied all major scene/dialogues even the name of the movie, as it is from the TV serial, and when you watch serial and movie you will feel only those 40 min in the movie looks good, in all other you will feel he has just added content to make it a 2 hrs movie. You can watch the original TV serial on youtube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E8bwVNd9KnE

Stockholm Sydrome. That's the only similarity. Otherwise, the scripts and characters of the films are completely different

Why on earth would you do that? Use the spoiler button if you are planning on giving away the end of the movie. I suppose I won't be watching this one after all. I despise watching movies when the end has been spoiled.
