Copy of Jaane Bhi Do Yaron (1983)


I am sorry folks to pee on your excitement but this movie is not original but copy of an Indian movie Jaane Bhi Do Yarno which was made in 1983. Yeah, its true even Hollywood copies and rips off. So who's the victim now?

Doesnt pee on my exitement theres prob only a handful of people that thave heard of that indian movie

Well actually, quite a bit more than a handful. 401 people rated it on IMDb, meaning that they've seen it. There are most definitely quite a few more people who have seen it. It's a cult classic in India. I'd say that's quite a few people, considering how India has the second largest population in the world...

Just because 'Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro' isn't as well known as some Hollywood movies doesn't make 'Weekend at Bernie's' any less of a copy.

even if it is who cares doesn't take away from how good this movie is

How does this possibly affect my excitement? I would not care if it was a story originally in the bible, I would still find it entertaining. And ofcourse Hollywood rips off ideas, nothing is ever truely original in a world with over 6 billion people.

So many copy right and left. If not the main plot, then details and with the latter, it's sometimes homage, sometimes subconscious even.

I never think about the future, it comes soon enough

Well, the main motive/story is even older from 1955 by Alfred Hitchcock "The Trouble With Harry", so I wouldn't say it's a copy of that Indian movie.
