Have you seen "Patch Adams" starring Robin Williams & Director Tom Shadyac based on a true story? And have you seen "Munna Bhai MBBS" - the alleged "original inspiration of its director". I must say that its a good Indian adaptation of Patch Adams - the makers of the movie should have atleast acknowledged the original work. Tom Shadyac picked up just one opening scene from "A Flea Over Cuckoos Nest" and yet acknowledged this in his interview in the collecotr's edition of "Patch Adams". I hope the director of Munna Bhai MBBS reads this....

No harm in getting inspired by the work of other people. No harm in copying them - you learn by copying. Sometimes you can improve on the original work. But I think its sin to steal something and claim it to be original work of art.

Your opinion?

Hi doc,

this is always the same with bolly guys.they steal stories,script and the whole lot thing from holly flicks and claim that it's original.when are these clowns gonna learn.

the movie shakti was a remake of telegu flick 'antapuram', but they claimed that it is inspired by an english movie called 'I don't want to live without my daughter' or whatever it's called. I 've watched both the movies and it's a 100 percent copy of telegu flick and bears faint resembelance to the english one...but I think they are too ashamed to claim that they have copied a regional flick - scene to scene....karishma kapoor gets an award for this movie as well.......good you made a point of it.
