Everyone knows bollywood director’s take a liberal stance towards being ‘inspired’ by hollywood movies. There was even a lawsuit over the issue recently over the unreleased film ‘Banda Yeh Bindaas Hai’ being an unauthorized remake of ‘My Cousin Vinny’.
Where do you guys think the line should be drawn between legitimate inspiration/homage and illegal plagiarism? Also, what movies do you guys know off that you think plagiarize in this way? If you feel strongly enough about the issue, you can contribute to the wikipedia article here:- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plagiarism_in_Indian_Cinema
Let me know what you guys think.
