Where the heck does "Antara Mali" get off taking the writing credits for this movie when this is a rip off from a Hollywood film "Switch" (1991), starring Ellen Barkin, and Jimmy Smitts?
I am personally fed up with this trying to pass off someone else's work, and original ideas as one's own that Bollywood has been indulging in for years! STOP the plagiarism, and get a clue! I am surprised that someone in Hollywood has NOT clued up and sued the pants off some of these Bollywood producers for this blatant stealing! Bollywood dares to talk of "Stopping the Piracy"! Well first start with cleaning up your OWN act!
I feel very strongly about this,as the movie "Switch" was one I really enjoyed, and to see someone coming along, and trying to take the credit for writing a story which is actually the brain child of someone else is despicable. At least give credit where it's due, and be honest enough to admit that the movie is inspired by another production!
There have been many movies made that have been "inspired" by some other play, movie,or book etc.If you admit it, there is no shame in it. At least it will be better than blatant plagiarism bordering on stealing. Shame on you Antara!
Take a leaf off the book of an Indian movie maker like Nagesh Kukunoor who's work is original, and like he said at the IIFA Awards in Dubai this last week, "There are 1 billion Indians, and between us, we should be able to tell an original story"!
