Of course the first Munna Bhai was an Indian Patch Adams but the 2nd one (which I like even more) was an original one (the Gandhigiri concept!).
3 Idiots was mostly based on Bhagat's "Five Point Someone" but PK again had an original script.
Sanju was made like a smoothened biography of Sanjay Dutt (with his collaboration) but Dunki again is an original script.
If it comes to "copycat", there are many Indian filmmakers one can name... focussing on Hirani or Bhansali is quite ridiculous, imo.
