[edit] No Need For This Article

I can't believe a mediocre movie like 'Salaam Namaste' has such a long and detailed entry in Wikipedia!

Anonymous comment moved from article page:

Who ever has written that plagiarism is a commonplace in indian cinema should shut their mouth and shouldn't talk without knowing the facts. They should understand that indian cinema produces the highest number of cinemas worldwide every year and most of them are original plots, unlike HOLLYWOOD which copies plots from movies made in other languages.

[edit] Hindi movies borrow heavily from South Indian movies too

Plagiarism is rampant in Hindi cinema. So, I would (as an Indian) disagree with the rather emotional outburst of the person who has initiated this discussion. Hindi cinema not only borrows from other cinema worldwide, but also from South Indian cinema.

This is not to say that Hindi cinema does not have "original", creative, talented people -- but we ought not to get so defensive, when we know the truth that an element of Indian cinema (esp Hindi cinema) is to borrow heavily (Sanjay Gupta, for eg, copies frame-by-frame from Quentin Tarentino) from other cinematic influences.

[edit] Nine months aka Neuf mois

As a matter of fact, Nine Months is a remake of the French Neuf moins - so both Salaam Namaste and Nine Months are inspired by another movie. --Plumcouch 02:52, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
