This is a very good movie for the indian market. Funny and relentlessly making its mark on movie goers. However the first scene was a copy of Johnny English, further down the movie it was a copy of Road trip and further down especially the money chasing scene has been exactly like in the movie Ratrace. Even the attempted rock band and actors jumping into the crowd et all. Honestly some originality in movie making would be greatly appreciated instead of borrowing parts from different movies. To be honest I am a bit ashamed and glad the movies such as dhamaal that have been copied will never be seen by those people who made the original english movies.

interestingly some thing other way round is also true - there will be too many ppl in india who would not have seen the originals either... they are fine with this khichdi of hollywood movies...

however i agree that it tells the sad state of creativity and originality in bollywood movies but its still better than remakes/ prequel/ sequel business that is rampant in bollywood these days...

I dont think it is a problem when the film-makers start out remaking a film and acknowledge that to the press and public. Like Farhan Akthar (Don), RGV (Sholay, Sarkar) and Himeshbhai (Karz). But there are some filmmakers who blatantly copy films and claim credit for story and screenplay. David Dhawan is an example. When a journalist asked him recently what he thought of Sony planning to sue the makers of Partner for ripping off "Hitch", he said there was no way the case would materialize because they would have to sue 100s of filmakers then.. I also remember the early 90s when Anand-Milind (who were brilliant in QSQT and other movies early in their career) started blatantly copying Ilayaraja (O Priya Priya, Dhak Dhak are a few examples). I dont think we have ever had stringent copyright laws in India. We target Hindi movies because they are popular all over the country, but this problem exists in movies made in all Indian languages.

this is a good question indian filmmakers lack creativity and originality and hence they copy from hollywood movies
