Plenty of hindi movies have lifted off their story line from major Hollywood flicks. I guess it started long back. Its not even the flicking Hollywood movies but remaking of good south Indian movies is also becoming a big time trend. But this conman is finally getting caught. Partner the latest hit from Bollywood is facing the jury. As everyone knows its almost a scene-to-scene rip-off from the Hollywood hit Hitch, starring Will Smith, Eva Mendes.

Partner(Eros Entertainment and K Sera Sera) is being taken to the court and sued for a whooping $30Mn suit, by Sony Entertainment and Overbrook Entertainment (Will Smith’s Production Company).Its not the first time Bollywood has lifted off a movie from Hollywood, but definitely its the first time its getting sued.

I have seen both the films and Partner, to be frank has been poorly done with exaggerated comedy. Hitch is one movie i love to watch again but definitely not Partner

What happened to the big creative geniuses that India has always been proud of? Are we having no more Satyajit Rays? Has creativity died here that we have to opt for plagiarism?

Its not just Movies that we steal, its even the songs too. Anu Malik to be crowned the king for doing so. I was surprised to see the news yesterday when Bappida came and claimed that Titanic theme was taken off from one of his 70′s movies. He allegation is that they changed two notes and made it as the theme. How lame can he get? Thats the best shot he has got up his sleeve? How about the hit theme songs from Murder, Criminal, Golmaal. Now what has he got to comment???

Its a shame upon us. We have the greatest audience after Hollywood and a large fan following all over the world. Our movies get noticed and are acclaimed all over.

Read the IBN Report. It has listed some movies, and sadly it has some names that i thought were authentic indian creations(Bheja Fry). Now i have to go and search for the original movies and watch them to enjoy the original creativity. I vow not to watch these again.

If every other person starts suing our under-world run film industry, may be the so called under-world will go bankrupt and their trouble might stop. Thats the only blue streak i see in this whole humiliating news.
