…and here's today's "pearl", people: another successful Hollywood rom-com copied by Bollywood! 😀 As usual, the popular 1988 movie became a victim of Bollywood’s insatiable appetite for plagiarism. Unlike the original (which was a huge hit) however, Bollywood's copy – released in 1994 – didn’t do well at all… 😀
Do they look familiar? 🤔
You *may* recall the Bollywood hero from https://mastodon.social/@Copiers/111522389032008262 and other previously-featured "pearls". 😀
A poster copied from a magazine cover! 😀
Bollywood copied this photo of actor Johnny Depp from a 2011 magazine cover (inset, below right) for its poster for a 2018 “film” (inset, below left). 😀
Note: We aren't sure, but the Bollywood photo is probably from 2012, since the “film” was originally scheduled for a 2012 release.

Bollywood's love for rom-coms goes back decades. Take this successful and highly-acclaimed 1959 movie, for example. Bollywood plagiarized it back in 1975… so of course fans now consider it a "1970s classic"! 😀
Do they look familiar? 🤔
You may recognize the male lead from such previously-featured “pearls” as https://mastodon.social/@Copiers/110825928072038428 and https://mastodon.social/@Copiers/111312885353139339, while the female lead was seen in https://mastodon.social/@Copiers/110990131847230672 as a child artist. 😀
We’ve seen Bollywood steal visual ideas from everywhere: from well-known photos, for example (https://mastodon.social/@Copiers/111287404141926396). 😀
Today's poster (for a 2018 Bollywood "film") plagiarized another historic photograph: one from the Korean War (1950-1953) this time.
The original photograph? Well, it can be seen (along with several others) here: https://rarehistoricalphotos.com/soldiers-giving-last-kisses/ but *please* don't blame us if Bollywood now starts copying all the other photos too! 😀

Back in https://mastodon.social/@Copiers/111443117043289417, we wrote that the 1998 Bollywood “film” *also* copied parts of “a popular 1990s comic play from Pakistan”. We’re sure many didn’t believe us…
Well non-believers, we won’t waste time arguing. Here, see for yourselves! 😀

A quick (and short – so no time is wasted!) Advanced Bollywood Mathematics (ABM) example today. 😀
Like all ABM-generated “films”, this 1999 Bollywood “film”, too, plagiarized (and then combined) plot elements, scenes and sequences from several sources: in this case, from at least two (American and British) movies. 😀
Let's not waste any more time… and have a Copied Scenes post!
Maybe we weren’t taken seriously when, in https://mastodon.social/@Copiers/111443117043289417, we wrote that the 1998 Bollywood “film” plagiarized a Hollywood hit from 1995. Fine, see for yourselves! 😀

At this point (with 280+ posts) maybe it’s a good idea to revisit one of our earliest posts and marvel at Bollywood’s attitude towards plagiarism: https://mastodon.social/@Copiers/110718348269599680 😀

Let’s stop wasting time… and meet today’s Bollywood “film”: a 1992 copy of the hit 1988 American remake of a 1964 comedy about con artists. 😀
And yes, it’s got this song: https://mastodon.social/@Copiers/111502579544478164 in it, and it's got this one too 😀 :
Original (1980): https://youtu.be/250MMq0fTrU
Parts of the original melody copied in https://youtu.be/Pk-wIvhSK18?t=93 (1992)
Bollywood copied the original movie(s) again in the 2010s… but more about that in a future post! 😀
Bonus! 😀
Bollywood often copies a song/movie many times!
Original (1990): https://youtu.be/tRhPmhdQ7vk
Copy (1992): https://youtu.be/PR9Vzy_SHM4
The original would be copied again. Also, the 1992 “film” (a copy itself!) had more copied music! Details later… 😀

This rather bland Bollywood copy of a hit 2003 Hollywood rom-com made appeared in 2007. In true Bollywood style, needless digressions and musical interludes made this copy nearly an hour longer than the original. 😀
Oh no! Another locally-popular Bollywood song turns out to be a copy! 😀 How shocking! 😉

According to industry experts, the "film" didn't perform well.

Even if you already know about what happened in #Bhopal in 1984, I still recommend "The Railwaymen".
Forget #Bollywood, this is #Indian drama, and it's superb.

When, in https://mastodon.social/@Copiers/111111876908682105, we wrote the 2023 Bollywood "film" had *more* than just one plagiarized scene in it, we felt we weren't being taken seriously. 🙁
Here’s a more comprehensive list of scenes this so-called “hit” copied, revealing the "film" to be more like a stitched-together collection of plagiarized scenes than an actual movie! 😀

One trick Bollywood often uses (in their copies) to claim originality is of switching the genders of the original movie's protagonists. Some others tricks are here: https://mastodon.social/@Copiers/110899535509559442 and https://mastodon.social/@Copiers/111312885353139339 😀
For this 2004 copy of the acclaimed 1993 Hollywood drama, Bollywood made the lead character (male in the original) a woman, in order to evade questions about plagiarism. 😀 It doesn’t work with us, though… and so here it is! 😀
Watched #tiger3
What I liked :
Message of Peace between the two nations.
Message that citizens are not the enemy, the army is (tbh whole army is not too, but that would be asking too much)
Democracy >> Military Rule / Authoritarianism
Hand to Hand Combat
What I didn't like :
sudden drop in frame rates because the director didn't know what should have been shot in slow-motion
Milking :
excess pathan cameo, they just stopped before it could've been cringe.
too many entries of Salman Khan, glorifing him too much, I could easily argue that were characters that deserved more recognition than him.
the national antheme performed inside the Pakistan PM House or whatever, its pure milking through patriotism, everyone in the cinema hall stood for it, if that scene weren't in the movie, it would have been better for me atleast, it felt so unnatural, and how did the girls knew indian antheme, I don't know shit about Pakistan, even if I were some musician I doubt I would ever know that.
Weak Villain, Imran Hashmi was just not potential Wazir-E-Azam in my eyes.
2nd Half feels boring in comparison to 1st Half. The 2nd Half was too focused on 1 story 1 scene.

‘A metaphor for life’: Bollywood’s stormy love affair with Indian cricket
This 2012 Bollywood poster was accused of copying elements from posters for French and Hollywood movies. 😀 It seems it's going to join our list of posters that were generated using Advanced Bollywood Mathematics (ABM).

At the end of season one, they provide a small tease for season two for "Tooth Pari: When Love Bites" but it is not an overly dramatic cliffhanger, where they leave the feeling of being left mid story. They give you just enough to want more and I think that is the best way to end a season.
Still, I do want more and I hope there is a season two. 😅

Let’s have some Advanced Bollywood Mathematics (ABM) today! 😀
…and not just ABM, but some plagiarized music too! 😀 Today’s Bollywood “film” is the one with that "nostalgic 90s song" (https://mastodon.social/@Copiers/111298727348179974) in it. 😀
This so-called hit 1991 "film" was actually a formulaic ABM product, assembled by plagiarizing and combining plots, scenes and other elements from French and Hollywood movies. 😀
And yes, it's now a "90s classic"! 😀

leffan lopussa (ja keskelläkin) laulettiin ylistystä Ganeshalle.
ganapati on ganeshan yksi nimi niin kai #ganapath on yksi kirjoitusasu siitä 💡
#bollywood-leffat ei ole silkkaa harmitonta viihdettä, niissä on kaikenlaisia kulttuurisia juttuja, sekä kaikenlaisia asenteita.
mutt niistä se on helppo bongata ku ne ei ole "omaa" kulttuuria, samoin yleinen hoopous 😁 ja juonen aukot.
ei käännöstä, mutta hyvien puolella ollaan tässä.
no nii 🤣
#ganapath oli *itse asiassa* erittäin viihdyttävä.
siinä oli just tappeluita, tanssia, ja jonkin verran myös paidattomia miehiä.
ei missään tapauksessa jokaiseen makuun. täytyy olla valmis laittamaan aivot narikkaan, ja pitämään ne siellä 2h 50min.
ganapath kuulostaa muuten lausuttuna kanapatée mikä lisäsi korniutta.
🤣👍🇮🇳
If you're looking for a spooky Halloween movie, definitely watch Jaani Dushman (1979) #halloween #spooktober #bollywood #horror

"In a dystopian future, Ganapath, a relentless and skilled vigilante, embarks on a mission to dismantle a powerful criminal empire that has gripped the city in fear, Ganapath becomes a symbol of hope for the oppressed in which leads dark."

Bring back (long) movie Intermission
According to #menshealth
https://www.menshealth.com/entertainment/a43250070/movie-intermissions-why-bring-back/
intermissions were phased out entirely in the year 1982, with #Gandhi being the very last film with an intermission released in the United States. This was to make room for more showtimes and screenings, thus #maximisingprofits.
Note: intermissions remain common in #Bollywood, where films are often epic in length.
Tonight’s listening: Soundtrack to the 1964 classic, Sangam, with brooding and buoyant songs, lush orchestration and vocals by Lata Mangeshkar, Mohamed Rafi, and Mukesh. It’s tops for lovers of golden-age Bollywood tunes like me.

Contributing to #PlaylistSEA, this song is on permanent rotation: Peterpan’s Tak Bisakah from #Indonesia: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_rwZ3ETimI
Now, if you watch #Bollywood movies, you might think.. Wait a min. Yup the song got Bollywood-ized. That is to say, it got outright plagiarized but who’s gonna stop guys like Pritam? It’s a ~big~ industry. Ref: https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/calcutta-times/they-should-tender-a-formal-public-apology/articleshow/1933692.cms
I guess it’s water under the bridge now, or rather Indonesians bullied Bollywood enough it actually got acknowledged in some small way? Idk it’s an open secret. So here’s a mashup cover version by Nisa & Arijit Saha: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cpo5xaBWSow
But this song is mad catchy, and there’s this #Japanese artist who live(s/d) in Indonesia, Naoko Kunimoto, who did translations of some Indonesian songs, and for this one, he got Ariel to perform it as well, and you know what, this version - Moshimo Mata Itsuka - is my fave: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LT0f5dw1jdE

Interview: ‘Big filmmakers are being mobilised by the state to further the majoritarian project’
Many movies slated for release in the run-up to 2024 have a definite purpose – to generate hatred of Muslims, says Ira Bhaskar, a professor of cinema studies.

Ignore any lofty claims about the Bollywood hit The Kerala Story: this film will only incite hatred against Muslims
The controversial film championed by the BJP is an Islamophobic fantasy, writes Asim Ali.

A movie poster for an upcoming Indian film has sparked controversy, as many feel it's too close to a design used by Argo.

I have taken it upon myself to diligently sit through and watch the whole of #Mastizaade.
Sure, you’ve seen the Muppet version of Day-O, but have you seen the Hindi movie version?
@agiletortoise Ditto! A good #Bollywood mix is great for zippy coding.
I'm also partial to #keroncong and #indonesian #gamelan , since I grew up there.

O M G this looks emotional and compelling. The first movie blew my mind so much that I didn’t even notice that #MilesMorales did not have his tragedy yet. Not only does the #animation look gorgeous but now the whole chased by the League of Spider-people (I just made that up AND said it in Lucas Lee’s voice) thing makes more sense. Looks like this one will live up to the first #movie (which I saw 3x in the theatre) and I MUST see it in #IMAX again.
Interestingly, YouTube served up the #Indian #trailer for me first and there are some HUGE differences compared to the US version. They focused completely on drama, with a couple of laughs thrown in. No mention of The Spot. And tied it into the live action movies to clue newcomers in. They know what sells in #Bollywood! Check it:

Hindi Film 101: The Idea of #Pathaan, Where is It From?
#DontCallItBollywood #bollywood
Many folks working in #HindiFilm industry were part of #Khan community. migrated to new industry of #film
They were tall, pale skinned, strong featured, spoke a gorgeous pure version of Hindi.
(most spoke Persian, Pashto, Urdu, & Arabic. Hence a language ability unrivaled in Hindi film, able to speak easily understood #Hindustani vs local street dialects)

I am a firm believer that every #Movie (especially #Horror) should be required to have a #Bollywood style dance routine to run during the credits..
Blown away with the acting and the risks taken in Gangubhai Kathiawadi. If you’re into Hindi movies, watch it. Prob in my top 10.
Question for #Bollywood film buffs about the #Netflix movie #Qala that just got released on Dec 1... is the title of the movie the word कला , meaning "art" in the Hindi language? I have plans to see the movie and just curious about the title and its meaning... thanks I advance! It's difficult to translate Hindi into English because there *is* no rulebook, except phonetics... so the choice of "Q" instead of "K" for the title word has more to do with the symbolism... fascinating really
After the 3 other foreign jurors also came out in unequivocal support of Nadav Lapid's description of #TheKashmirFiles as a vulgar propaganda #film, I can only imagine what the composition of next year's IFFI jury will be. It will probably be Vivek Agnihotri, Paresh Rawal, Anupam Kher, Mohanlal and SS Rajamouli, so that they can vote for The Kerala Story as best film.
Watched a #Bollywood movie after ages.
Gangubai Kathiawadi was a neat movie! Visually pleasant, very few but beautiful music, and based on a story on an activist.
It is on #Netflix.
POV: You're a student in a class where Madhuri Dixit has been appointed Maths teacher and is teaching Geometry through...dance.
"OKAY listen up. Here's 90 degrees, 180 degrees, 360 degrees and to finish, A TRIANGLE!"
