"Mad, Mad World" goes Bollywood!

A new comedy from India, Dhamaal, borrows material from other films, but mostly "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World". Here's a brief montage of examples. If you're a "Mad World" fan, you may get a kick out of "Dhamaal" and you should pick a DVD up. You can find them on Ebay.
But check out how some scenes are copied almost frame by frame!

@MrUnidyne good thing i got to come to US and become a movie nerd...i used to worship these ppl for making these "wonderful" movies...after coming to US i started to watch a lot american movies...more i watched the more i came to realize that the movies i liked when i was in india was mere rip offs...it shocked me a little bit

[effu68]

@MrUnidyne even when they original stories and what not they still rip off hollywood movies by the way they are shot (cinematography), action scenes, special effects, editing etc...obviously they will not be good as the original...its like they dont know they are not supposed to copy others...i was appalled by the sheer no: of indian movies that are rip offs...there are great original movies too...i have lost all respect for indian movies

[effu68]

@MrUnidyne there is no loophole...hollywood studios simply dont know they are getting ripped off...bollywood and other indian movie industries been doing this for a long time now..as i ve said earlier hollywood ppl dont watch many indian movies so they will never find out...indians dont get to watch many hollywood movies so they dont know...these ppl are makin millions rippin off others...i hope hollywood studios catch em and put these ppl out of business

[MrUnidyne]

@effu68 I was unaware that these films were not licensed but were open plagiarisms! Have any Hollywood studios taken legal action against these "remakes", or is there some loophole in the copyright laws that allow this?

[MrUnidyne]

@effu68 Then there are the Turkish "remakes" that have gained infamy.

[effu68]

@MrUnidyne the difference is we know they are remakes...they credit the original artists for story screenplay and what not...what bollywood is doing is make illegal rip off...until recently indians didnt get to watch all these hollywood movies so they will not have any idea...the movie makers claim these remakes as their own...foreigners dont watch indian movies so they will never know...i hate bollywood for doing this

[effu68]

i am indian living in the US and I absolutely hate bollywood...they shamelessly rip off foreign movies and refuse to give credit...most of their movies are set in western countries and has a lot of english dialogs...its like they are ashamed of indians,indian languages and its culture...all of these movies have stupid unreal love storylines...they are a bad inflluence other smaller movie industries in india...
