I Was a Stranger in This World Oh Mother, by SoonSoon Joshi
by Cutlet Gravy on Apr 14, 2009 10:06 AM




No prizes for guessing which song from TZP
was inspired by Boy George's "I Was a Stranger
in This World Oh Mother" from 'Taboo'.

Raja Sen can also enter this contest.

dagwood and co.
by wizardo id on Apr 14, 2009 09:54 AM

yeah. theyve got no bloody business poking thier dirt laced nose into our dirty business. movie making in india is arguably a dirty affair. we have dagwood who pours his money with elan - and we have guys like anu malik dancing to his tunes or shah rukh or salman, mahesh butt or manjrekar waiting for a morsel from the goon. picking/ flicking tunes from all over the world has evolved into a fine art - preetham/ bappa/ bappi et al! we claim other countries' slumdogs as our own! yeah yeah - its very dirty indeed!

but nevertheless. Wb has no stinking business to fish in troubled waters. why ? the moment they enter into the business, they turn worse than dagwood! look at the US entertainment industry. plagued, rigged and infested with the RIAA/ MPAA.

Hello Friends,

Please dont take this article from Raja Sen seriously as he is more worried for his job as because of the fear from Hollywood studios if Hindi movies stop copying that means they will automatically stop making Hindi movies.So if no hindi movies means Raja sen will lose his job of reviewing them. So he just wants to retain his job and support the hindi industry.

What!!
by King Aragorn on Apr 13, 2009 06:32 PM

If its an article from raja sen i dont read it, i just scroll below to the message board. I dont understand what he writes. Bollywood can spend 500 crores on a movie but could they recover it ? No if they could then I am sure Bollywood would have copied Matrix, Pirates of the carribean, Lord of the Rings, Transformers, X-Men, IronMan, spiderwick chronicles, Narnia series etc. by the way Transformer 2 arrives on July 26th and Wolverine 1st May.

Copycats

Hindi Ghajini is a copy of Tamil Ghajini which is also a copy of English memento. They even copied the makeup of Memento hero for copycats Amirkhan and Surya. Shame. Shame.

memento n ghajni r poles apart...in terms of story, screenplay, EVERYTHING. only similarity is tht 'STML'. sme idiot critics jus say it to b memento remake n othrs agree without confirming even once. its impossible to make a memento in india..

Raja sen ji..y do u jus bang ur head for 'nothing so important' kind of stuff man??jus to stay in limelight???get a life dude.try to do something different good, n people will appreciate u.

3.      Zaher - Out of Time
4.      Murder – Unfaithful
5.      Holiday – Dirty Dancing
6.      Paap – Witness
7.      Inteha – Fear
8.      Footpath - State of Grace
9.      Jism - Double Indemnity
10.      Raaz - What Lies Beneath
11.      Kasoor - Jagged Edge
12.      Sangharsh – The Silence of the Lambs
13.      Dusman - Eye for an eye
14.      Kaash – Kramer Vs Kramer
15.      Dastak - Darr
16.      Criminal – The Fugitive
17.      The Gentleman – Remake of a South Indian Film
18.      Hum hai raahi pyar ke – Houseboat
19.      Gumrah – Bangkok Hilton
20.      Sir – To sir with love
21.      Junoon – Cat People
22.      Sadak – The Taxi Driver

Isnt that reaching a lot... Taxi Driver and Sadak are nowhere similar.. But its true the amount of films Mahesh Bhatt has been supposedly "inspired by" is huge... and somehow they manage to make a lousy remake

Sadak took the basic storyline from Taxi Driver and all the action scenes were from the Van Damme Starrer Cyborg.
Only the song picturization was by Bhatt saab
