Re: [arr] Question on Ethics to ARR...
first of all, Ghajini is NOT Memento. Memento is an all time great movie, Ghajini is a cheap attempt to use the concept of short term memory loss and mix it with our usual Masala. The story lines / plot & the whole objective of Memento is nowhere there in Ghajini. So your question is not applicable in the 1st place. 2ndly, ARR has nothing to do with any movie's storylines & their sources.

[arr] Question on Ethics to ARR...
So Ghajini is out and looks like its all set to break all box office records. Aamir, the producers and everyone involved is going to rake in a lot of moolah. As far as I know, Murugadoss & Co. did not quite pay Christopher Nolan, his brother Jonathan Nolan(original story) or the producers of Memento for the rights of the movie. Maybe the tamil ghajini didn't quite hit their radar but the Hindi one because of its high-profile nature will probably do and they might come after Murugadoss & co. In any case, I am disgusted that these guys didn't quite go and acquire the rights first from the original writer/director/producers before ripping it off. If they don't have any qualms ripping off others' "intellectual property", why should they expect their audience to not go for pirated DVDs and VCDs of their movie? Why do they appeal to them to not watch through 'illegal sources' when what they are doing is by no means "legal"? (I am no lawyer but I am pretty sure that Ghajini will be deemed a case of plagiarism under most intellectual property laws) Question to ARR is even though he is not directly ripping off the story, he is certainly 'associated' with the movie and I wonder if he ought to have put a foot down and said that he would not want to be associated with a movie where the intellectual property rights of another creative artist are being violated. After all ARR doesn't appreciate people downloading his music through illegal sources and not paying for it. He knows how much its hurts an artiste. Folks with access to ARR - if you could get his stance on this issue, that would be awesome. Thoughts? -pradeep
