I somewhat agree but I would rather have good music than to have it taken away completely. Once you watch regional movies (Telugu in my case) you would start thinking that Hindi movie songs are so meticulously placed in comparison.
OP
What does language have to do with the CGI? Robot was bollocks in other ways too. Seemed like squandered potential to me.

But here, we're talking about the CGI in Indian movies only. The CGI in Enthiran/Robot was very much superior to the other Robot movies ever made (in Kollywood for sure).
To a person who haven't watched hollywood-robotic movies, Robot will score more in their CGI expectation.

Completely agree with your first post.
But regarding this movie i think they were pretty honest I think they had already admitted in front of the press before the release of this film that some scenes were inspired from charlíe chaplin. (some Mr bean scenes were there too!)
Even if you see the movie properly there are some hidden messages in the movie or call it easter eggs. For eg:If i remember correctly there is a scene where you can see the stand up poster of charlie chaplin behind barfi. Which maybe a nod for the inspiration part.
Moreover if a movie is copied intelligently it can become a good movie.There are many examples. One of them is RAAZ.
Yes the assumption is somewhat correct. Now not every public in india (or other countries) have seen every movie which is there.
These days due to internet they are getting exposed easily. If one person catches the copy and post it in any site 100 others come to know and some amongst them starts acting as if they were already aware of it.
Eg:- If you are not a charlie chaplin fan then would have seen that 1917 movie of his?(the link you have posted)
No i am not defending bollywood instead i am saying i agree with your concern but there are few people who still have or at least show some decency while copying too.

Now lets forget bollywood sh**e and come to indian cinema.
Dude do you know that E.T may be a hit but its a highly controversial film of its time. Even i was not aware of this fact. It itself has a stamp of plagiarism. If i remember correctly there was an article in Times of india few months back in the editorial section regarding plagiarism in the movies. Where the author (I forgot his name. who is based in new york) himself admitted that he has gone through the original script and it does have similarities with ET.
A brief account of it is given here : *en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E.T._the_Extra-Terrestrial

Actually the story of ET is that it was copied from Satyajit Ray was going to produce and direct and Indian-American movie called The Alien which was to be set in Bengal. It was about an Alien that comes to a village in Bengal and befriends a boy who has some minor mental problems. However due to certain problems the movie could not go into production. Spielberg then later came up with a similar story and made ET. Rakesh Roshan then ripped off ET. So, its kind of full circle. However, we must note that Hritik's character in Koi Mil Gaya is mentally retarded so that one point is more faithful to Satyajit Ray's original. But, the rest of the movie is uncannily similar to ET.

^^Yes as you have mentioned it. It went on full circle.(Spielberg was accused.However somehow they managed to dissolve the issue quickly & nothing could be proved accurately). Also yes later half of the movie (KMG) certainly leans more towards E.T. probably due to the climax (Also I don't know what was the climax in ray's script).
Here is another link containing a bit of more info posted by a member "Galeo Rhinus".: Was Spielberg’s ET based on a Satyajit Ray Script? | Quick Take - As It Happens
Now rakesh roshan smelling profit cleverly ripped good parts of both (the film & that script) and made a masala movie called "koi mil gaya". Now it is another example of a good copy. At least you cannot say it was a bad film.

Marathi TV Shows/Movies have the best stories according to me

I will have to agree with that. Marathi movies have some of the best stories but it is still very niche over here. However production quality is coming up slowly.
To be honest, I like the current state of Marathi cinema. If it gets more popular, then its quality will go down and it might become as cheap as bollywood or any other such movies.

I can vouch for that, though not all are perfect only realism sells here

Yeah. That is why I've been able to watch it without understanding the language.
Both my parents are fluent in Malayalam, so they would show us some awesome movies. I'm glad they did. Ofc I'm not talking about all movies.
The thing is they don't have a god like following for heroes so when they deliver it's pure talent. I loved that.

I lived in New Panvel (part of Navi Mumbai now) for a major part of my life and never knew they had a Marathi film industry. The presence of Bollywood has completely overshadowed the regional industry.
