Indian filmmakers consider their film industry (Bollywood) to be the second largest in the world, but the fact is that most of the films they make are replicas of English films, which they paint in their own colors and display in the market. Even their storytellers, poets, and musicians now resort to stealing instead of working hard and they do not feel the slightest shame while stealing movie stories, movie songs, and melodies. Leave it to the filmmakers, even the singers who sing the song of Chori do not have the awareness and enthusiasm to refuse to sing replicas, nor do their great actors have the courage to refuse to sing replicas even though If they want, they can convince the filmmaker.
A small example of this is a recent film made in India called "Thugs of India" in which Pakistani singer Saleem Javed's famous song "Vish Mela" was sung without any alterations. The song was filmed on top actors Aamir Khan and Amitabh while the heroine of the film was Katrina Kaif. The question is that so many great artists did not know that the song is pictured on them is a Pakistani song. The world-famous singer Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan's famous Afaq Qawwali "Dum Mast Qalandar Mast Mast" used to be sung by children in the street bazaars.
Which was included in the movie 'Mehra' and was filmed on Akshay Kumar. A famous lyric of Faiz Ahmed Faiz's ghazal "What is in the world of your eyes" Majrooh Sultan Puri, a well-known Indian poet, liked this verse so much and wanted to use it in one of his film songs, but look at his container. That he made a formal request to Faiz Ahmad Faiz for only one stanza of a poem and asked him for this poem and after getting his consent, he made this poem the front of his song and wrote the whole song on it. He wrote this song for the movie "Chirag" which was composed by Madan Mohan. The song was sung by Lata Mangeshkar and also sung by Mohammad Rafi.
It was filmed on Sunil Dutt and Asha Parikh. If he wanted, he would have included this poem in his song without asking, but it was just a matter of elegance. He did not want to tarnish his name with theft. Now, the whole song is recorded in the voices of its singers, including the lyrics, and put in their films. There is a long list of Pakistani songs that India has stolen to adorn its films. It is certainly a matter of great pride for us that our poets and musicians are such great creators that the Indian film industry steals their songs and in a way praises their talents.
We will discuss these songs later which were included in Indian films with original melodies by changing the lyrics, but before that let's talk about Bollywood's replica films. According to an estimate, about 70% of Hollywood films are currently being made in Bollywood with minor alterations, which would be filmed in Hindi with Hindi actors and presented for screening. The majority of Bollywood filmmakers used to steal other people's poetry, stories, music, and dialogues, but now they have also started stealing posters of English films. Similarly, according to another report, Apart from Shah Rukh Khan's film Zero, posters of many other films have been copied from English films.
These are the achievements of the so-called second largest film industry in the world. In Pakistan, there was a Punjabi film called "Nokrovhati Da" which was a comedy film. And Mumtaz Side was the heroine. The film was a huge success at the box office and according to critics, it was a memorable film of Munawar Zarif's life that raised the flag of success in Pakistan. The film was also well-received in India. Bollywood was moved by the popularity of the film and made an Urdu film called "Nokrbivi Ka" in which the then famous actor Dharmendra was the hero. Now look at his boldness that not only the entire film was copied by violating the copyright act, but also the screenplay and dial-up yards were lost in this film without any change.
۔ We don't care how successful the film "Nokrbivi Ka" was in India, but its hero Dharmendra later admitted that he was unable to do the quality of Munawar Zarif in the film. Films were made in India by stealing dialogues and stories of many other films, including Pakistan's Punjabi films "Sher Khan" and "Mola Jutt" as well as Urdu films "Aina" and "Badnam". Imitation is imitation, no matter how hard you try to put it into action. The best and most famous example of this is that comedian Charlie Chaplin was one of the best actors of his time, in the black and white films of the time. Were formed in which there was no sound, but still four
