The only thing that is common between these two movies is "Love" Nothing more, nothing less.
One such example of an accusation is "Vinnaithaandi Varuvaya" is lifted from " 500 Days of Summer". There are a large number of movies in Tamil that would fall in this category.Īs soon as a movie's first teaser release or first look poster releases, the rumors start flying around claiming that the movie is a copy just because of some minor resemblance in the narration. Similarly, Avvai Shanmugi is undoubtedly lifted from the movie Mrs. Doubtfire. Technically speaking, any copied movie should be automatically disqualified from awards. It is shocking to see the movie getting the maximum number of nominations at Filmfare awards recently. Deiva Thirumagal is lifted from I am sam with some minor changes like Santhanam's comedy & Amala paul's character. It is deplorable to note the number of movies in Tamil which were unflinching copies of Hollywood movies, without giving credits to them. That is why Time Magazine included both The Godfather and Nayagan in its list of "All- Time 100 Best Films ". Similarly In Godfather, Marlon Brando is shown dying when playing with his grand son. Even though the essence of those scenes are the same, the treatment, style and scene construction are different. One such example is Sivaji Ganesan's death scene in the movie while playing with his Granddaughters. Devar Magan has scenes inspired by the Godfather. In this scene, Dhanush will be shown sitting in his house with a pistol depicting the killings in a subtle manner.Įxamples are plenty to illustrate examples of Inspirations.
In Pudhupettai, Dhanush orders his men to kill his own father and another don who refuse to pay him. In Nayagan after the death of Saranya, Kamal kills the other dons in Mumbai during the last rites ( pindam karaithal). For e.g., After the death of Marlon Brando(Vito Corleone) and during the christening of Connie's(Marlon Brando's daughter) son, Al Pacino orders to kill the other New York Dons and Moe Greene. The basic plot is " How an unassuming normal person eventually becomes a powerful don". As everybody knows that these two movies share the same plot of Godfather trilogy. I would say these two Tamil films are the best examples for "Inspiration". INSPIRATION : Nayagan and Pudhupettai from The Godfather Here are some popular movies that are well known among people to illustrate the above point. In that sense, Vetrimaran's bold gesture to credit the films which inspired him to make Aadukalam should be appreciated. It is basic courtesy for film makers to give due credits to the original. But the one that deserves criticism are the filmmakers who are merely doing copy-paste work without giving credits to the original film maker and stealing credits for somebody else's hard work. It is natural that any creative person continues to be inspired or get stimulated by things happening in real or reel life, knowingly or unknowingly. The second kind vehemently denies of any inspiration and tries to convince oneself and others that it is purely a product of their own imagination. The first kind are the ones who are bold enough to quote the source for inspiration. Inspirations and Blatant Copies in Tamil Movies
