A Blogger Noticed These Striking Similarities Between Jagga Jasoos & Tintin Comics. Do You See It?


The trailer for the upcoming movie Jagga Jasoos is a breath of fresh air. It stars Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif, and everything from the production to the acting to the adventures they go on looks pretty damn legit. A blogger named Sagaran Jos noticed something pretty interesting about the Anurag Basu directed flick. It seems to share a lot of similarities with Tintin, the boy detective and his comic escapades.

Keep in mind, these are only based on what's shown in the trailer, and it's totally possible this is all coincidence. But here's a few similarities Sagaran noticed.

1. They sport similar hairstyles

Ranbir's character sports a quiff, a quirky hairstyle made famous by Tintin. In fact, his entire look seems to be a little a little inspired by Tintin, from the hair to the clothes.

2. They feature similar vehicles

There's a Wright Brothers style yellow airplane in the trailer, pretty similar to the one in Tintin's The Black Island. There's also a tank similar to the one in The Calculus affair.

3. They use similar disguises

In the trailer, we see Ranbir wear a soldier uniform disguise similar to the one Tintin wears in The Broken Ear. We also see Ranbir running away after being shot, another shot similar to Tintin in The Broken Ear.

4. Several of the chase scenes are similar

It's an adventure movie through and through, though some of these scenes do look oddly the same.

Such as this one of Tintin narrowly escaping a black train in a red car.

Or this scene of them running along the top of a train.

Or this sidecar chase from Tintin in the Land of the Soviets.

5. Even the poster looks a bit like the cover for The Broken Ear

Take look below.

I have never read a "tin tin" comic in my entire life but i couldve told you about these similarities as well. Hardly newsworthy. 🥱

Yup I used to read Tintin a lot during childhood and every scene of Jagga Jasoos had this deja vu feeling to it cause the visuals looked so close to the comics.

Coincidence? if it would be only one thing but too many things doesnt looke like coincidence.So again plagiarism by Anurag. Guess he wont learn and keeps hoping that people dont find out 😆 just like i despite Barfi for that so called "inspiration" seems like another one. And people really call him one of the best directors 🤢

Jagga Jasoos 'inspired' by Tintin comics, says blogger; Anurag Basu denies any similarities


"I think one should wait for the release. Only after watching the film people will realise it's nowhere close to Tintin."


Anurag Basu said he wanted to PAY HOMAGE to all the art,literature,comics that have influenced his work.
