Autonomous Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 sarcasm? or is it bad taste in movies? Maybe i have a bad taste, No sarcasms though, Really liked Murder 2 that was based on Silence of the Lambs which have got immense critical acclaim.

Autonomous Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 Murder 2 is actually a copy of the Korean film - The Chaser EkqczsLZd1I I have read it online, It was inspired by Chaser and Silence of the lambs.
zen Posted May 16, 2015 Author Posted May 16, 2015 I have read it online' date=' It was inspired by Chaser and Silence of the lambs.[/quote'] Inspired is too soft a word to use here. Murder 2 is almost a frame to frame copy of the Chaser with Indian touches .... A connection to Silence of the Lambs is possible only if a cop trying to catch a serial killer angle is considered (and that connection is can be drawn for many such films of this genre) :P
zen Posted May 16, 2015 Author Posted May 16, 2015 Pre-Sholay: Mughal-E-Azam Teesri Kasam Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam Pyaasa Ganga Jamuna Bandini Naya Daur Mother India Anand Deewar Awaara (50s) to Sholay (mid-70s) is undoubtedly the golden age of Bollywood

In fact, most bhatt movies are remakes these days. Citylights also remake of Metro Manilla.

maniac Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 In terms of original concept- Lagaan,Satya,Mother India,Andaaz Apna Apna,Deewar,Mughal-E-Azam,Shree 420,Guide,Prahaar,DDLJ. Honble mentions-Ardh Satya,Aawara,Mera Naam Joker,Saaransh,Golmaal(old one),Baawarchi,Abhimaan My Criteria-I am not going to rate Sholay,Jane Bhi do Yaaron etc even though they are my personal favorites because they are inspired by Hollywood movies-maybe not entirely but still I only rate movies where concepts apart from execution are developed here as well. SImilarly there are some remakes by likes of Star South Indian filmakers like K.Vishwanath,K.Balachander etc which even though were quality cinema don't qualify. Also don't count movies inspired by western fiction such as Omkaara or even Angoor which is my all time fav comedy So my top 10 is solely based on conceptualized and executes solely in Bollywood or Hindi film industry

Autonomous Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 This Hummari Adhuri Kahani seems a decent Emraan Hashmi movie from trailer
coffee_rules Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 AAA has nothing to do with DirtyRS. Khel was more inspired from DRS,

If the Bus co wins, the tongawallas will have to give up their livelihood. If tongawallah wins, Bus co. had to move business elsewhere. Very similar story.
zen Posted May 18, 2015 Author Posted May 18, 2015 AAA has nothing to do with DirtyRS. Khel was more inspired from DRS' date='[/quote'] My memory can be sketchy, but isn't AAA about Amir and Salman trying to get the rich girl and playing tricks on each other to get better of the other? I am not saying it is a frame to frame copy but AAA is definitely does not appear to be a totally original work as claimed in one of the posts.

It is also available in color now :two_thumbs_up:
