Gehraiyaan was a copy of MatchPoint so.... - Page 2

Spoiler alert:

It was not a copy the ending was different

They were married couples in matchpoint nit engaged

Father daughter relationship/ property was different

The two female leads were not cousins/ sisters

The movie is very similar to matchpoint, yes some scenes and twists are different, but the general storyline is very similar. Months before the film released there was an article that said the movie is going to be based on matchpoint, and shakun keeps talking about how woody Allen is his favorite, so it seems like shakun took alot of inspiration from the film

It's weird because Shakun said in some interview that he took years to write this script, which is a little tough to believe because it is quite clearly not original. Neither Dharma nor Shakun have publicly accepted that it's a remake or is an 'inspiration'.

I guess they want to pass it off as an original story, most of the movie wasn't shocking to me coz I kind of had an idea that its going to be based on matchpoint

Gehraiyaan makes you want to throw the characters into “Gehraiyaan”.

True that. I was so happy when that Ananya character gets pushed into the middle of the ocean. Alas it was not real. 😭

It wasn't a good copy but the plot and situations were all copied from Match Point. MP was indeed a good film, and Gehraiyaan wasn't, but it was definitely a remake. As Raja Sen said, they copied everything barring the maturity.

Nah I disagree lol, let’s just say that.

Nope I love Matchpoint. It’s definitely a far better movie than Gehraiyaan. 😳

Wow..off late m becoming a fan of Raja Sen's reviews..

And to think I used to dislike him once upon a time

The first 75% of the film is like a direct lift(like all major plot points). Only the perspective was changed from the guy to the girl and she was given a backstory.

I was surprised too that they acknowledge this anywhere
