The Pirated Bolly-Wood.

Bolly-Wood is considered one of the two biggest film industries in the world. And in terms of releasing movies in an year it is considered the number one industry. And even Bolly-Wood has some problems to face as an industry, and the biggest problem they are facing is of piracy. But interestingly when we see Bolly-Wood they themselves are pirated. First of all their name is on the name of Holly-Wood. Ok lets say for the sake of discussion even if they have Named it Bolly because of Bombay, but still what is the use of Wood?.

Coming to the real part there are plenty of films being copied by Holly-Wood these days. When the directors or producers are asked why they do so? They reply that the general public wants something different that’s why they copy Holly-Wood movies. Still this is not a valid reason. What about creativity? Doe that matter? Or not?

There is a big list of Movies copied or heavily influenced by Hollywood Movies. I am posting some names here of Bolly-Wood films and in the bracket the names of original films

Fight Club (Fight Club)
Akeyle hum Akeyle Tum (Karmer vs karmer)
Hey baby (Three Men and a Baby)
Road ( The Hitcher)
Black (The Miracle Worker)
Salam Namaste (Nine Months)
Hum Tum (When harry met sally)
Zinda (old boy)
Murder (unfaithful)

Though Bolly-Wood is making a big quantity of movies and they do good business too in the market. But at the end the question still arises what about creativity? Isn’t it important?

(There is a big list in my hands of copied movies, but i cant post all the names.)
