Hi Gopal and All, (I really really really really hope Gopal allows this post)
This may come as a surprise for you and you still may not believe me. But, Aamir Khan is one of the biggest copycats of Indian film history. While ARR on the other hand is the most original music director ever produced by India. I seriously think Aamir does not deserve to be given music by ARR. For those who are still surprised, I am giving you the full list of original Hollywood movies that Aamir copied his movies from. You may argue that Aamir did not direct these movies, but how come each and every movie of Aamir is copied? I have seen almost all of these original movies and know this fact since a long time. I felt it my responsibility to make aware our group members of this reality because most of us respect Aamir as a great actor and also think Aamir - ARR combination a divine one. Here is the list: 'Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak' - Losely based on 'Romeo Juliet' 'Dil Hai Ki Manta Nahin' - Completely copied from 'It happened one night (1934)' 'Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar' - completely copied from 'Breaking Away (1979)' 'Baazi' - losely copied from 'Patriot Games (1992)' and 'Die Hard 1' 'Akele Hum Akele Tum' - completely copied from 'Kramer vs Kramer (1979)' 'Ghulam' - completely copied from 'On the waterfront (1954)' 'Lagaan' - very much copied from 'Victory (1981)' 'Rang de basanti' - copied from 'All my sons' & 'Jesus of montreal' 'Dil chahata hai' copied from 'St. Elmo's fire' 'Ghajni' - a third class and horrible copy of the legendary movie 'Memento (2000)' 'Fanaa' - heavily based on 'eye on the needle (1981)' This is only the movies that I have seen. Others could be copied as well. 2 of the above movies were directed by 'Ashutosh Gowarikar', which is further shocking. Thanks, pravinder.
