Thank you for the enlightenment! We were sleeping till you came along.
So how does buying rights mean that Hollywood's movies are better or worse? Talk about the movie and not the legal aspects of it. What's wrong legally is wrong, let the producers bother about it. But, saying that Bollywood rips off and therefore it sucks is plain immaturity on one's part. Indian movies (Bollywood) have always had longer story, song & dance. That's Bollywod/Indian movie "culture" just because they add songs into a movie that was made in Hollywood doesn't mean that the movie is crap or whatever. Bollywood movies are made for an audience that likes the song & dance in Ghajini.
Stop comparing Hollywood & Bollywood everytime a copy is released.
@jack, Ghajini is a remake of a South movie, I did not see a single post by anyone condemning it the way it is being done now. Why is that? And as far as masterpieces go, no director plans to fcuk a movie. When you're making a movie you make to sell & be appreciated for it. Songs are an integral part of our movie culture, we, the ones who call ourselves great critics & start calling movies as "masterpieces" need to understand that.
Every time an alleged copy is released we start comparing 7 giving our verdict. Never will we consider it as a single entity give our views, that ok this was good or that was bad. It's always, they have music sh!theads. How can you have songs in a movie?
Comparing is fair, comparisons should be made but bashing a movie because it did not "buy" the rights or it added songs is stupid.
The sensibilities of an Indian audience are way different than those in the West, YOU need to understand that. Ghajini has beautiful songs! I too find songs ruin the fun of the movie, but that's our "movie culture"
