ok one thing is the person who is making such film is a south indian, isnt he?
Secondly South Indian film industry isnt entirely original, in first place. One Kannada industry does something , tamil, telegu, malayali copy it and vice versa. Also I can list 5 orignal Marathi films which south indian directors have copied themselves ... do u want the names?
Kalakshanam - kshan (Marathi) Friendship - Bindhast (Marathi) Untitled Kamal Hasan Film - Munnabhai MBBS (Hindi) - Doctor Doctor (Marathi Play) Avargal - Ghatasfot (Marathi) Evano Oruvan - Dombivli fast (Marathi)

South Movies Do Not Get a WorldWide Release, In Comparision to South Movies, Bollywood Movies Get WorldWide Release.Which is Big, South Movies Or Bollywood?????????????
So Who Should Copy From Whom????????????
If U Say this, Accept Bollywood is a Piece of SHIT????????????, Tollywood is 1000 Times Better than Bollywood?????????????
Accept that People who Watch South Movies are Intelligent Than People Who Watch Bollywood Movies

Mac I disagree with you again...I agree that there have been some path breaking efforts on part of Southen films...but not all films are worthy...consider the latest release Nagarjuna's'Don'...Would you say its better than Amitabh Bachchan starrer Don...No...U just cant draw parallels between the different film industries

Hey come on... For that matter you can't compare SRK's don also to AB's Don... EVEN THOUGH the storyline is more or less the same...!
RE:South isnt entirely original either...

yup...then who is comparing....you can't compare Shakespeare to Wordsworth,nor Sachin Tendulkar to Brian Lara....that's hw it is

Don't u know Mr.IQ...there's nothing called original when it comes to art....art is forever inspired.....

Inspired is Different and Copying is Different.
In Ur Exams If Ur Friend Gets 90% and U Get 70%, U WIll Be Inspired By Him/Her to do Better than Him/Her and Prove that U Get 95% in Ur Next Examination.
But U StarightAway Take Ur Friend's Answer Paper and Start Copying , Then is It Inspiration.
There is Huge Gap Between Inspiration and Copying.
Sholay was Inspired from Magnificent 7, Which has a Complete Different Story, Partner is a Copy of Hitch, Print to Print, Is It Inspiration???????????????
RE:RE:RE:Copying is Work Of Art LOL!!!!!

But would it be fair that a piece of great work...in this case the film is just restricted to regional audience since Bollywood film goers are alien to the lingo.... film has a universal appeal.... so it would be wrong to discard it off just as a piece of crass imitation

Not At All, U Remake and Take out 1000 Versions U Want, But Give Credit Where it is Due, While Publicizing SRK and Juhi's COmpany Should Mention That it is a Remake of South Movie, They Should Mnetion When was it Released.
Rediff Should Also Mention That it is a Remake of KathaParayumBol, As they did with Bhool Bhulaiya, They Should Run Articles On this And Give Credit to Original.
Which I think Both SRK and Redsiff Will Not.
Bcoz They want to Fool the Audience By Doing Dhanda?????????????

yup, its true....'Billo Barber' is the remake of Mammootty satrrer 'katha parayumbol'. But when a film can be remade in Telugu and Telugu, what's the hitch in making it accessible to Bollywood audince...after all a work of art is for all to enjoy
RE:This Movie Billoo Barber is Copy of Mallu Flick Kadha ParayumBol

The Problem is U Watch a CopyCat of A South Movie and Claim That Bollywood Actors are SRK are Better than South Actors Which Shows The IQ of People Who watch These Movies.
RE:This Movie Billoo Barber is Copy of Mallu Flick Kadha ParayumBol
by suchorita dutta on Apr 02, 2008 03:21 PM
ofcourse....good performances are to be lauded...left, right or center.....if SRK or better Irrfan Khan who plays the lead in this film lives up to the role, then why not praise him for his feat

Grey, Surprisingly, the words "this", "for", "not", "but" "also", "actor" are correct (!!!!!)
Now i am very curious to see Rich Man's keyboard...!!!
RE:mega hit bilo barbar.....

Dear Rahul & Grey Cells. I have an humble request. Please do not comment on any individual they way you both have done. It might be that he (Rich Man) has not got a command over English as you guys have, but at least he has not let that be an obstacle in expressing his views. Respect an individual for the content he has and not by the dress he wears.
RE:mega hit bilo barbar.....
by Ramesh Kumar on Apr 02, 2008 04:17 PM
Also, what's amazing is that the sentence formation is kind of ok... if the same person said that orally we would have simply taken it for a typical accent and nothing more... either Rich Man intentionally wrote it that way or simply transliterated his "spoken" English to get over lack of skill in written English...
RE:mega hit bilo barbar.....
by Maharana Pratap on Apr 02, 2008 04:40 PM
This 'Rich Man'is only fooling around--his English etc.are all o.k.--may be he wants to entertain us all with his humour!
RE:mega hit bilo barbar.....
by suchorita dutta on Apr 02, 2008 04:47 PM
Rich Man u r truly interesting...it really takes a lot of skill to master this art...gr8 job....
Billo Barber is the remake of Superhit Malayalam Movie 'Kadhaparayumbol' starring Sreenivasan and Mammooty. I dont know why rediff people not mentioning about that.
RE:Its a remake
by surya prakash on Apr 02, 2008 03:01 PM
In Tamil also it is getting remade and no other than the SUPERSTAR of south Rajini is acting in that. That more important information that has to be there
RE:Its a remake
by Soorej Prasad on Apr 02, 2008 03:07 PM
Yeah...Even though the thread comes from the relation of Krishna and Sudama,the story was first made into a movie in Malayalam!!! And now,it's getting re-made in Tamil and Hindi... Rediff should give the ppl who made the original some credit while writing such articles!!!
RE:RE:Its a remake
by sunil george on Apr 02, 2008 03:42 PM
rediff had earlier given the news that the Malayalam movie Kathaparayumbol was going to be made in Bollywood starrring SRK. They have also given an interview with its script writer and lead actor Srinivaasan. Actually Mammootty is having only a guest appearance in the original and Srinivaasan has the lead role.
Sharukh's modesty shows in the photograph sitting next to Juhi. Respect for senior. Is this story seems pretty much like Kada parayumbol. Priyadarshan gets all the Copyright from south and sells in Bollywood.
RE:Juhi to replace Amisha in Billo Barbar?
by BIJU KRISHNAN on Apr 02, 2008 03:43 PM
Kadhaparyumbol - the direction was PATHETIC. I thought the movie will not be a success in Hindi. Unless priyan changes a lot in the script and screenplay.
RE:Juhi to replace Amisha in Billo Barbar?
by sumit p on Apr 03, 2008 01:25 AM
mallu directors like Sddique - Lal - Fasil etc should sue Priyan ! Priyan sometimes copies some comic scenes altogether from some mallu movies and then just translate it to hindi ! I guess it is ok as far as he remakes his own movies.
