Quiet sure everyone's aware of shoplifting. Directors of film Bombay Talkies have unabashedly lifted stories from others.
Erm? A special kind of tribute??
Zoya Akhtar and Basu are the two culprits here. The two smarties assumed they can get away with plagiarism just coz theirs is a small part in a BIG tribute movie & people would be too overwhelmed to notice or object.
Zoya Akhtar must have thought she would be doing a favor to the movie 'Pankh' (a movie that came & sunk without anyone noticing back in 2010) by featuring the story for her segment of Bombay Talkies. Apart from copying the story she was generous enough to call it her own too. But the song of her generosity turned into an outcry. The director of movie Pankh has dragged her into some legal mess for this act of kindness.
Anurag Basu being ever so competitive couldn't have let Zoya be the mugger all alone. The guy went a step ahead. While Zoya lifted the story from a flop movie, Anurag stole his part from a writer who'd sent him his story for review.
The writer of the book Nishant claims that he had sent this story to Anurag which revolved around a guy who wanted Mr.Amitabh Bachchan to listen to his poems.
Guess Anurag thought his name would go better with the story as he ceremoniously it the first script he ever wrote.
Fucked up the tribute much??

It's Anurag Basu not Kashyap!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the feedback. But I'm afraid its Anurag kashyap. Anurag Basu would be director of Barfi.
