i was also thinking of suggesting him to consolidate his titles and post them in a single post at a time, it's so difficult to browse through so many posts !

Wow...a dedicated thread on a member's name.?

btw, it's probably first time in tdf history, a member getting a dedicated thread in his name. :-D
he is a full time movie watchman, i guess !

Taxi driver
Good movie overall.
After you have seen this movie. See the below movie.

Sadak
Like you have guessed. Its a desi copy of the above movie. Even the taxi driver has ups and downs but sadak has so many downs moreover in the climax fight scene the background location changes magically. You can guess the story easily after 30 mins. Could have been a better copy had they paid some attentions to those flaws. However for a 1991 film I think its just okay. Btw as you guys might already know the songs are very good.

Drishyam 2015 is a frame by frame copy paste of the malayalam version. Only credit is good copy paste.

Below this movies are origin by the novel

"The Devotion of Suspect X" (2005) by Keigo Higashino.,


Based on Novel...Suspect X (2008) in Japan.,

In Korean remake Perfect Number(2012).

In Malayalam remake Drishyam


Drushyam in Telugu

Drishya in kannada

Papanasam in Tamil

Drishyam in Hindi..

I think it was stopped Copycat...:oops:

My vote to Korean remake Perfect Number(2012) awesome remake.,

^^I think you had mentioned this earlier also. Btw I have seen suspect X, which has a very little connection with drishyam. I think here the word inspired may fit better. The plot may be somewhat similar but the approach is totally different.
In short both the films are good.

Yes, Instead of 2 murder in Original version...In remake only 1 murder with also made as per indian culture.Only Core content of movie only link with each others.,

But Perfect Number is more emotional with good suspense compare to Suspect X.,

The East - A very weird and different movie about anti corporate terrorism. Another engaging movie by the actress, Brit Marling - currently my favorite actress.

No its not a copy like some of the other films. It has some creative thinking for which credit must be given to the makers of that movie. The plot may resemble but both the movies are different.

I disagree with you here.

The main concept is same, the main twists and turns are same, the revelation is same. And the USP i.e. the math behind the plot reveal is same.
Its a copy without a doubt.

Yes, The core content of movie geniusly theft without doubt and made as per Indian culture and make reward.,

Another example:

I Saw the Devil (2010)

In Tamil "Thani Oruvan (2015)"...Its Mega Block Buster in Tamil Industry...Now to be Remade in Hindi, Telugu..I don't know who will act this role.,

Again well made theft core content from "I saw the Devil".

If anyone watched above both movies review here...I like to read other reviews:)

They have stopped making movies like these. Dark humor satire at its best. I don't understand why kundan shah after this film made so may other inferior films.

Watched a couple of movies. Mentioning in detail two which I think are excellent.

Tokyo Godfather - 8/10 - Pretty well written dialogs and story. It's not an emotional roller coaster but you will feel the trample of feels passing by the street near you. Takes up perfectly some queer issues too. Everyone is trying to mend their ways, the things they couldn't set right the first time. A revisit to their past, a reconciliation in present. It's the story of 3 characters. The little kid acts as the drive.

Wolf Children
- 9/10 - At first I thought it was yet another cheesy melodrama. But this movie hit me hard like a recurring memory. Just thinking about it sinks my heart now. It's relatable and yet so distant in execution. An element of fiction with reality sewed in. You would have seen your life at some point in this movie. It's the story of "Hana". A sweet yet poignant dew drop on the blade of first spring's grass. Lasts for a short while but the memory stays forever.

Other movies watched
Peepli Live - 6.7/10
Equilibrium - 6.2/10
La Cara Oculta - 6.6/10
Batman Begins - 7/10
The Dark Knight Rises - 7.5/10
Insidious - 5.7/10

And the strange one that will give a spin to your moral compass. Try to hold it still by the end. Not rating it because it's unlike anything I have ever seen.
Madeo (Mother) 2009

Some South Indian movies. Entertainment but that's the first and last milestone.
Soodhu Kavvum - 6/10 it's like hera pheri humor except that a lot of things are happening at the same time
Jigarthanda - 6.4/10 cool twist in the end !
