Please have Self Respect.

We indians really lack self respect.. We dont have any problem stealing someone else' things. Neither we mind defending it. Probably thats the reason rest of the world consider indians as pests.
Those defending this must realise that they are destroying the talent and innovation by promoting the fakes out there.

thats nice word for it. if any filmaker makes a copy of an old movie then either he will say its an inspiration or tribute.

(bollywood can say tht they took me through 5 good classics like Singing in rain etc in one ticket!!) plus i wonder people who are critizing here how much watch good cinema? they dont watch it coz it not avilable on pirated cds ha ha ha. To copy something also requires skills,check ur exam papers.. amen. love and peace.. bring on next movie pl

Creativity - Where Hath Thou Gone
by Shashi Kumar on Oct 02, 2012 12:28 PM  | Hide replies

To this generation, plagiarism has become the norm rather than the exception. In fact, Anurag Basu has gone one step ahead of Priyadharshan who lifted scenes from various Malayalam films to make one Hindi film. Now we have Anurag Basu, who lifts scenes from various international films of different languages and makes a Barfi. Why doesn't today's film makers have the patience to make a film that they can proudly call their own creation. No wonder Kiran Malhotra who having exhausted all his creativity remade Agneepath is singing praises for this cinematic theft. These film-makers are no different from the criminals who sell pirated DVDs and Books on our pavements.
