Bollywood looks up to Hollywood

There's nothing unusual about remakes and remixes in Hindi films. But the inspiration isn't confined to ripping off phoren movies and music alone. Our filmmakers find a muse in Hollywood film posters as well!

The original: Sleepless in Seattle
The copy: Akele Hum Akele Tum

Mansoor Khan's relationship melodrama starring Aamir Khan and Manisha Koirala drew its plot from the Oscar-winning Kramer Vs Kramer and the poster from Tom Hanks-Meg Ryan romantic comedy, Sleepless in Seattle.

Other inspirations include The Godfather theme as Raja ko rani se pyaar ho gaya and George Michael's Last Christmas as Dil mera churaya kyon which was lifted by Anu Malik.
