Bollywood doesn’t mind turning to the west for inspiration or out rightly plagiarizing their content. Here’s a look at the posters which were lifted, inspired or copied from their Hollywood counterparts.
1. BATMAN BEGINS V/S RA.ONE
The latest to join the copy-cat bandwagon is 'Ra One' with posters inspired from ‘Tron: Legacy’ and ‘Batman Begins’.As soon as SRK unveiled the teaser poster, comparisons with the Hollywood film's poster was all over the internet.This poster is clearly a copy from Christian Bale, Katie Holmes starrer ‘Batman Begins’
2.ANTICRIST V/S MURDER -2
When the ‘Murder 2’ makers asked the audience to choose their favourite poster, little did they realize that it would getso much flak. The poster starring Emraan and Jacquelinehas a number of outstretched arms entangled between some branches and roots have been "inspired" by the poster of Lars won Trier's " Antichrist".
3. NOTEBOOK V/S KITES
Though there were not many takers for the hrithik roshan- barbara mori love saga 'KITES' the poster was a visual rip off of the 2004 film 'NOTEBOOK' .The makers of kite also didn't mind lifting the few scenes also from the hollywood movies
4.LORDS OF DOGTOWN V/S ZINDAGI NA MILEGI DOBARA
The audience would have expected the brother- sister duo of farhan-zoya aktar to atleast have an orignal poster. but like the rest of bollywood they are looked for barebodied inspiration in katherine hardwicke's 'LORDS OF DOG TOWN'
5.UGLY AUR PAGLI V/S TILL DEATH (tv series)
The makers of ‘Ugly aur Pagli’ were truly lacking in the creative department. While the film was a rip-off of ‘My
Sassy Girl’, the poster was a copy of hugely successful TVseries ‘Till Death’.
