Bollywood Filmmakers continue with plagiarism despite being accused of it- not all plagiarized films have proved success
Indian filmmakers still continue to lift scenes from Hollywood films and not all of them have proved success in it. Our Indian filmmakers still lack in creativity whereas Hollywood film makers believe in it and make things look authentic and real. It is sad that plagiarism exists in Indian films even as of now.
Far too many times Bollywood have been accused plagiarism
plagiarism from similar plotlines to action sequences to even poster art. Our Hindi filmmakers fail to understand that plagiarism can really shift the reputation of a film.
There are 7 films which hsve been plagiarized.

Judgementall Hai Kya
Hindi Medium
Dear Zindagi
Raabta
Mardaani
Ghajini
Vidya Balan starrer ‘Neeyat’ a murder mystery goes to evince that creative failure isn’t limited. It seemed like Indian filmmakers had given up lifting scenes from Hollywood films, but no. It still continues.
Recent films like Adipurush and Neeyat evinces that certain habits die hard. There is a saying that ‘Old Habits Die Hard’. And this is what is happenning with our Bollywood Filmmakers
The trailer for Pathaan, for instance, immediately betrayed the influence of everything from the Fast and the Furious films to Marvel’s The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. But that was Shah Rukh Khan, so all was mostly forgiven.
Empowered beyond belief and clearly obsessed with pandemic-era streaming shows, he’s doing it again with Jawan, in which he wears a costume that seems identical to the one worn by Oscar Isaac in yet another Marvel series, Moon Knight.
People weren’t as forgiving, however, when the first trailer for Adipurush was released. In addition to the outrage directed at the poor visual effects, audiences also called out the blatant plagiarism that director Om Raut and his team had clearly participated in. Things only became worse when they actually watched the movie, which had moments lifted directly from a little indie called The Avengers. All of this goes to show how little respect certain Indian directors have for the audience, convinced as they are that their indiscretions will go unnoticed.
But the misconception is that this behaviour is limited to large-scale productions and not smaller movies. Well, the new Vidya Balan vehicle Neeyat is here to remind you that creative bankruptcy is a plague that has overrun every tier of Hindi filmmaking.
