Although this 2001 Bollywood “film” was actually a copy of a 1991 American thriller [see mastodon.social/@Copiers/11106 😀], it didn’t hesitate to include entire sequences plagiarized from other movies… like this action sequence copied straight off a hit 1997 Hollywood action movie! 😀

Yep, happens only in Bollywood: see for more cases! 😀

A terrorist drags a hostage to the open door of an airplane that's about to take off! This exciting scene from 1997's hit action movie Face Off was diligently copied by Bollywood in 2001 for a "film" titled One Two Ka Four. This "film", incidentally, was actually a copy of a different American thriller (1991's One Good Cop)!

Recently, we featured this Bollywood “film” that, we claimed, lifted sequences straight off The Matrix (1999). See mastodon.social/@Copiers/11439 😀 Today, let’s compare these sequences, and see if we were correct…

This Bollywood “film” plagiarized The Matrix sequence in its entirety, even though it was actually a copy of a different Hollywood movie (The Whole Nine Yards, 2000).

This 2012 Bollywood “film” shamelessly plagiarizes a British romantic black comedy from 1997, while throwing in scenes lifted from several *other* sources – a 2009 American horror comedy, for example. 😀 Here it is today!

Hall of Shame!

As mentioned back in mastodon.social/@Copiers/11188 (+ many other posts! 😀) Bollywood frequently plagiarizes novels without giving any credit to their authors. Today’s Bollywood “film”, from 1958, is another example of this practice… 😀

Over a year ago (in mastodon.social/@Copiers/11121) we featured a Bollywood “film” that – we claimed – plagiarized (and combined) plot elements and scenes from two Hollywood movies. 😀 Today, we look at some – not all! – of the evidence behind this claim…

The still from the Bollywood “film” shows the heroine revealing the device she’s been wearing to appear pregnant. This scene faithfully mirrors an identical scene from the 2004 original.
