....why did the makers fail to give credit to the original movie? They are still trying to pass it off as an original even though several scenes were copied with no changes. Yet another remake from the creatively bankrupt Bollywood.

I haven't watched the film but according to what my friend told me, Zain tried to kill Alisha but he ends up drowning...and then Alisha rushes home into the shower where she miscarries.

In Match Point, Nola tells Chris she is pregnant and wants to raise the child with him...which is why he kills her.


Which made me think the same thing. Its 90% similar to Match Point. Even if they make a few changes here and there, the minute you hear the story you relate it to Match Point.

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


Oh please.

Yes the ending was changed and some minor changes were made, but the film plot and concept have totally been copied (and even in the original, only one couple was married, the other broke off post engagement like in this one). And way too many scenes were copied exactly as they were in the original with no changes. It is laughable to suggest that this was not a remake.

It is definitely a copy of match point and a bad one at that.

Eh. I don't recall Woody Allen giving credit to novelist Theodore Dreiser or director George Stevens. Match Point is just a more cynical and brutal riff on on An American Tragedy/ A Place In The Sun.

Ehhh pls. I adore Matchpoint, it’s actually one of my favourite films (we’ll pretend it isn’t Woody Allen’s) but to call Gehraiyaan a copy of it is stretching the truth a bit too far. Matchpoint makes you feel for the characters. Gehraiyaan makes you want to throw the characters into “Gehraiyaan”.


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.

Two wrongs don't make a right unfortunately.
