It is high time that the filmmakers in Bollywood make a movie with originality in it. It makes no sense just to copy the whole plot from a Hollywood flick and then present it to an Indian audience. There number of screenplays being copied these days is just staggering. We have had remakes of movies like Hitch, A Few Good Men, Whole Nine Yards and its sequel to name a few.

Now it is being planned to make a copy of the movie The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button, the movie that won several Oscar nominations. The remake or the so called copy will be titled Action Replay and will be starring Akshay Kumar. The movies that are now lined up for release have also copied the concept of the movies made there.

Aa Dekhen Zara and 8X10 Tasveer have used a concept in which a person can see the future or can predict after looking into a picture. The same concept was used in the movie Next starring Nicholas Cage. There is also Kal Kisne Dekha Hai marking the debut of Vashu Bhagnani’s son Jacky. In this movie, also he can see what is going to happen in the immediate future and can act accordingly. Again inspired from the movie Next.

Whats is said to see is that not one but three filmmakers are making use of the same concept. There will be some trouble for Jacky as his movie releases in the end and the audiences might get bored seeing the same thing repeatedly. Hopefully we would see a filmmaker who will make a movie that will be copied in the west.
