Bollywood butchering ....

Recently I saw some hit new movies. One was "Phir Hera Pheri" . Most people would've liked it as its story-line , which was just a real sad version of my favourite "Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" . Why doesn't Bollywood just copy the Hollywood romance stories ? Why pick up such cutting-edge movies like "Reservoir Dogs" , and "Fight Club" and recently "Lock Stock.." ? What a misfit !

Then I saw "Pyare Mohan" thinking it might have references to "Chupke Chupke" where Dharmendra's character was called Pyare Mohan for sometime . But NO !! Turns out its a horrible copy of a not-so-great-but-very-enjoyable Hollywood movie "See No Evil Hear No Evil" .

My advise to Bollywood : Just take a look at "Sweet Home Alabama" . There's scope for making at least 20 versions of it with several of them starring SRK and at least one with Aamir Khan , Akshay Kumar and the others.
