Which Hindi movies have copied Hollywood movies or are inspired by them?

-
I'm sure everyone is sick and tired of hearing how Bollywood movies have been duplicated or inspired by Hollywood movies. But did you know that this happens the other way around as well? Here is a list of 10 Hollywood flicks that were inspired by Bollywood films:
  • A Common Man (2013)– A Wednesday (2008)
Chandran Rutnam had to cast Academy Award winner Ben Kingsley to pull off Naseeruddin Shah's character from A Wednesday . Yes, A Common Man is not just inspired but is an official remake of Neeraj Pandey's masterpiece.
  • Delivery Man (2013)– Vicky Donor (2012)
The difference between the two movies may lie in the plotand the fact that Vince Vaughn's sperm donations amounted to a total of 533 kids being born as compared to Ayyushman's 53 (guess Vinceismore fertile). But the basic idea of the film, sperm donation, has been inspired by Vicky Donor .
  • Fear (1996)– Darr (1993)
Apart from the name (direct translation) and the love triangle, the epic scene of the stalker, Shahrukh Khan, carving K-K-K-Kiran's name on his chest has also been adapted by James Foley in his American thriller,Fear .
  • Win A Date With Tad Hamilton! (2004)– Rangeela (1995)
Well the best friend may not be a taporiasportrayed by Aamir Khan,but the basic plot of the movie is agirl caught in a love triangle between her best friend and a movie star.
  • Kill Bill (2003)- Abhay (2001)
Though the plot differs,this famous thriller by Quentin Tarentino had action sequences which he himself told Anurag Kashyap were inspired by the Kamal Hassan-starrer Abhay .
Abhay was the hindi adaptation of Aalavandhan (a 2001 Tamil film) which also starred Kamal Hassan.
  • Pearl Harbor (2001)- Sangam (1964)
Pearl Harbor was less about Pearl Harbor but more about a romantic love triangle between two best friends and a girl. Plots for both movies are fairly similar and the only difference between the two movies was thatSangam had only one friend as a pilot whereas its Hollywood counterpart had both.
  • Leap Year (2010)– Jab We Met (2007)
The makers of Leap Year claimed the movie was not inspired by Jab We Met . But whydon't you decide for yourself? A bubbly, highly-talkative girl on her way to propose to her boyfriend meets a stranger and shares a hotel room with him. They fall in love, get separated but eventually re-unite and get married.
  • Just Go With It (2011)- Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya (2005)
Jennifer Aniston=Sushmita Sen &Adam Sandler=Salman Khan. Yes, that does not really add up, but the basic plots of both movies are very similar.
Both these movies were inspired byCactus Flower (1969)but with a different storyline.
  • Hitch (2005)- Chhoti Si Baat (1975)
We are all aware that the Bollywood movie Partner is said to be a copy of Hitch. But it looks like Hitch itself was inspired by the plot of Chhoti Si Baatwhere a guy who fails to woo a girl takes help of a man who makes it his profession to help people with similar problems.
  • Divorce Invitation (2012)- Aahwanam (1997)
Interestingly, S.V. Krishnan Reddy himself recreated his Tamil romantic comedy for the Hollywood Box Office featuring Jonathan Bennett and Jamie L. Sigler.
Peace and love✌

Is Jennifer Lawrence a bad actress?

I would say she is one of the better actresses in her generation. Watch   Winter’s Bone   (2010) Forget the commercial   Hunger Games(2012,2013,2015), X Men First Class (2011),X Men Apocalypse(2014) . She wasn’t bad, it was just acting in superhero movies. Watch   Silver Lining’s Playbook (2012) .   Forget Joy (2015). Look at   American Hustle   (2013). I would say she is better than most of her generation for   Bones. . Is she overrated/pushed by academy/critics? Of course. Every generation we have such phenomenon.She is white, American, talented, pretty and likeable -what better candidate? I thought it would be Amy Adams at one point. Then I thought the ‘chosen one ‘ would be   Lupita Nyongo   this decade, after her   12 Years a Slave   role. But she isn’t a white American, eh? Lawrence is currently experiencing an America's Sweetheart status that seems to predate these cynical, media-savvy times...

Here are 20 facts about Trump that set her apart from other first ladies. 1. She is only the second US first lady in American history to be born outside the US – in Slovenia.

How can we get a Bollywood actor/actress's mobile number?

Through this answer is not giving 100% justice to the above question, but will share my personal experience on how I cracked around 30+ celebrtiies numbers from internet. Few years back there was an application available on Blackberry Store, which use to work on reverse search option and similar like true caller, where once you install it, all your contact were uploaded in their database. Earlier every celebrity used to use Blackberry because of BBM, which was the most safest way to communicate and that application used to upload all contacts from their mobile to that application database. So incase if you want   Deepika Padukone's   number, you just need to put Deepika Padukone and the application would give search result with all numbers having Deepika Padukone as name with cellphone numbers, now the trick was to find the fancy numbers from that search result and after you sort 2/3 numbers, check them on true caller what name it is showing. No...
