When "Bollywood" begins by hache

New Delhi, 29 Aug 2007. - Taking advantage of the ignorance of Western filmmakers, the Indian film industry, with over 1,000 films a year, do not hesitate to use characters, strings and arguments that sometimes do not differ either in the letter that separates Bollywood from Hollywood.
The ubiquitous Harry Potter has come, for example, a "brother" Indian in the movie "Ka Daabra AOpen" an orphan of a famous magician who goes to the best school of magic, where, making his first steps on the scene, find people who knew his parents.
The Indian film industry championed by Bombay-Bollywood produces more films and sells more tickets than its U.S. rival, but that does not stop taking it as a reference to try to break the box office.
That "passion" for Western frames attest the latest releases, three singles have to take care of a baby, a coach who takes the top with a team of girls who do not trust themselves or a version of "The Dinner Game "that has become a cult title.
A few days ago, the success of the year, "Partner", suffered even a threat of legal action by the production of actor Will Smith, angry that the film is taken too literally to his adventures in "Hitch", the year 2005.
"We know nothing of the producers of 'Hitch'. This is a controversy created by the media. In Bollywood there are 700 new movies every year. Can all be original? "He said boldly about the producer of" Partner ", Parag Sanghvi.
In the list of titles with "versions to India" are classics like "Wonderful Life", "Dirty Harry", "Vertigo," "Irma la Douce" and "The Apartment", naturally with footage kilometer and overdoses of dance and songs to spice up the movie "masala" (spice).
Indian films have also been nurtured by love ("The My Best Friend's Wedding," "When Harry Met Sally") and humor ("Mrs. Doubtfire," "Something About Mary"), have pulled "thrillers" as "Seven" or "Fatal Attraction" and, of course, musicals ("West Side Story," "Annie").
In "The Miracle of Anna Sullivan" (1962) deaf and blind girl manages to overcome his situation by his teacher, in Bollywood enough to switch to the sweet woman by the beard of the national idol, Amitabh Bachchan, who scored a great success with "Black" (2005) but was accused of copying the original sequence to sequence.
And in the film "Koi Mil Gaya", with the popular actor Hrithik Roshan-the critics do not agree on how much of ET and Forrest Gump in the film, but all agree: the writers have cooked counting them.
Is any degree of success and even "The Godfather" has escaped the hawk eye of Asian writers, as evidenced by "Hi Aankank Aakank" about the adventures of a poor farmer who comes to town, becomes a gangster and stars, as the music channel MTV, "a remake superpatético".
Western influence also reaches the hallmark of Bollywood, music: in the 70, the Indians danced, without knowing the popular "Mamma Mia" ABBA, called there "hum ko Saathi Mil Geya" (I found a couple) , and since then, the sounds strangely western mingle with local rhythms.
Is Bollywood a "factory of the theft?", Comes to ask the newspaper "Hindustan Times".
Given the business prospects that plagiarism can bring a clever composer, Aadesh Shrivastav, it is all set to create a company to protect copyright against those engaged in foreign inspiration, after speaking with American rapper Wyclef Jean .
"Wyclef was stunned to learn that they had copied their song 'Mary'. He said many of his fellow Americans do not know what happens with composers Indians, and that something should be done, "said Shrivastav.
The threat, however, - "I know that I will be the most hated man in Bollywood," says Shrivastav, can no longer prevent the popular Shah Rukh Khan canturree "Pretty Woman", accompanied by sounds of disco and mechanics, but creative - Indian choreography in her film "Kal Ho Na Ho" ("It may not be tomorrow").
And while the Indians dance and clap in the cinema actor Shah Rukh when it sounds pretty woman, no one asks about Roy Orbison.
