Bollywood is known to lift ideas and songs from foreign sources since ages.
Even Hollywood lifts ideas from books and folklore but the difference is that they take pains to purchase the necessary rights and also to give the proper credits while making films unlike Bollywood which wants everything for free.
The other recent example was Bappi Lahiri who has practically made his career out of stealing songs from foreign sources and went to court when a american group lifted lyrics from one of his songs.
Fact is.. we rarely get anything original from Bollywood these days. See what a mess they made of Devdas. They haven't done justice to the original storyline too !!..
This is a shame for any indian. The original writer has gone aboard saying that indians are sheer copy cats. Ironically, we claim to have some of the most rational thinkers and creators. For heaven sake, lets stop copying from the west....lets take this as a challenge and show the world what we are really capable of..!
bollywood genius are exposed. i think it is fair more and more people from west expose bapii lahiri and abbas mastan of bollywood for what they are copy cats.
