A Remake of the bollywood (indian) movie from 2005

I didn't know about Cactus Flower but just saw it, I think the main plot is the same in it as well as the indian movie but if you see the indian movie and just go with it side by side you can actually see the scene to scene copy of it. Ypu have to see it, although I don't argue with the fact that as you said both the movies use the mail plot from Cactus flower

To add to this.. The filmmakers openly acknowledged that it was based on Cactus Flower and the prior plays to that in the credits. They also give writing credits to those prior writers. They aren't hiding this fact at all.

The Indian film copied the same people and didn't give any credit at all. So if this is a scene-for-scene remake then at very worst the two films are even in ripping someone off and not giving credit.

Indians pretty much copy everything that other countries produce, especially Hollywood and they don't even bother to acknowledge it and give credit where due. So its mighty hilarious when an Indian comes out saying Hollywood copied some Bollywood film.

And in 2013 the "fake children" concept was borrowed for WE'RE THE MILLERS, ALSO with Jennifer Aniston, but a different story line than CACTUS FLOWER. Sort of.

plot summary for Alam Ara:

"A period fantasy that told of the ageing king of Kamarpur, and his two rival queens, Navbahar and Dilbahar, and their rivalry when a fakir predicts that Navbahar will bear the king's heir. Dilbahar unsuccessfully tries to seduce the army chief Adil (Vithal) and vengefully destroys his family, leaving his daughter Alam Ara (Zubeida) to be raised by nomads. Eventually, Alam Ara's nomad friends invade the palace, expose Dilbahar's schemes, release Adil from the dungeon and she marries the prince of the realm."


yada yada yada, you're an idiot.

yada yada yada, you're an idiot.

No. It isn't. Not even close.

Bollywood films are almost never original, they are all copies. And they don't give credit to the originals.

ekw

Lol the two movies have very little in common. If you are stretching it that far, you might as well say all stories are derivative.

Which leads us to the fact that Bollywood is a mess of unacknowledging copycats. For an industry that produces a ton of movies every year, its no surprise that originality runs out.
