IMPORTANT TIME BOMB INFORMATION (24) - Page 3

ok, i take that back...You should read more carefully, I didn't mean to call the "culture" idiotic, but rather the way the producers use other's ideas to their advantage and create something glorious to make money on that they don't deserve. It's like you creating an AMAZING story, and someone else makes money on it by turning it into a book. That's why we have the copyright and patent office. I HATE it when someone takes another idea and uses it for themself, and then take ALL of the credit for it. I used to hate it for little things, and then I saw the indian movies. At first I didn't let it bother me. My aunt soon introduced me to 24, and I LOVED IT! In fact, I became so addicted I couldn't stand to see it copied and twisted just so some other producer can make money. It's an insult. Whenever I will try to introduce 24 to my family in India, they'll say"Oh, this is just like Time Bomb, same thing, no I like Time Bomb better just because its indian." They won't even give it a chance. You can probably ask the producer; he probably has seen 24 before and decided to make money off the great idea. Why not? I mean, all those other Indian movies do it...they don't get in trouble. This shouldn't be happening. Maybe this is why India isn't progressing as fast as it should be; it's playing catch-up.

NO PLAGIARISM IS NOT TOO STRONG OF A WORD TO TALK ABOUT WHATS HAPPENING HERE. I cannot believe you think that this isn't plagiarism. Look at these screens:



and...



if this isn't plagiarism in itself, I don't know what is. I bet you that the producer was trying to make the didgital numbers yellow because 24 has it that way. 😆 I guess theres nothing I can do about it now that Time Bomb is cleared. I guess all I can say is, "indian friends, if you like Time Bomb, you will LOVE 24!" And you know why.

We have not seen 24 here in India....It is not aired in any channel here neither dvd's of US serials are available in 90% of Indian cities. Maybe in some metropolitans but not all...... So for us this show is the greatest. It is a copy of 24 was told long time back even when shooting was not started. So what........ how does that matter....... the story is a new one....... maybe the concept has been copied. Hamae aam khanae se matlab hai gutliyo ko ginnae se nahi 😉

My friends, have you ever heard of Ebay?

Krupawan I'll like to tell you one thing................. when you say about english learning just remember......... more than 60% of Indian public stays in the village. And TV serials will have to be made according to them also. They are also a part of this country. And those people don't understand english let alone speak. Arae most of them cannot read properly too. This is India and not US. Villagers are not the same as the cities one. When your granny told you about knowing english she was talking about cities. Ask her and she'll tell you whats the conditions in the villages. So for them serials like TB are a boon. They get to see good serials in their own language.

And Krupawan when you are posting better check your language. I am also deleting the pics. you have posted here in the topic. Get them resized to proper smaller size and then post here.

And one more thing I would like to comment. Maybe you won't like it but still....... you seem to be more american than indian. But we love India and feel India is the best...... anything Indian is the best....... be it serials or anything. So when you say those things you are basically insulting us Indians. Don't do that........

And I don't buy things from Ebay........ I buy things that are Indian, have Indian taste and made in India..............

Yo that pic you deleted isn't showing up, so I posted it here. It's resized. BTW I took that with my own camera :)



You have to understand, just because these people copy 24 doesn't mean that their version will be GOOD. It just means that they will make money off of something they should NOT. And stop talking about just India too, take a moment to grasp a broader view of the world. I know it's hard for you to understand, but India isn't the only country in the world. ZeeTV premiers in Europe, USA, Pakistan, and other parts of Asia as well. And when you say that you only buy things that are of indian taste, you don't sound smart, because that just shows how narrow minded you are. i don't blame you though; many indians in my family are too. Besides, you wouldn't be living now if you bought EVERYTHING from Indian Taste because most stuff today are made in Taiwan, China, USA, India, etc. NOT just India. Plus, there are many Indian users who use Ebay, so u can get whatever Indian things they have. But I guess you can't get 24 from a user from USA or China because it is against your code. "I buy things that are Indian, have Indian taste and made in India." Whatever you say, friend, whatever you say. You really need to realize that indians aren't the only race on this planet. "anything Indian is the best" There's an irony for you. Only to Indians, anything Indian is best, because they cannot see the outside world. They are trapped in a cage, like the one you are trapped in right now. Now I'm trying to help you get out of this "cage," but you don't want to get out. NOW GET THIS: I AM NOT TRYING TO INSULT YOU. I hope you understand that. But this is why India is behind, they convince each other that anything Indian is the best without looking at the global market, and when the few do look at it, they take the great ideas and turn it into something second-rate, but indian. Therefore people like you will think that the second-rate thing is the best, just because you have held on to that philosophy all these years. And if someone like me tries to help you see the light, you turn them down because you cannot admit that India would produce something like that. This is also why Indians like family drama; if they actually looked at the world and realized that there ARE other topics/genres to look at other than family drama...well we could call that progress, couldn't we? Too bad they are trapped in their own little world (NO OFFENCE WHEN I SAID THAT).

What is wrong with being more American than Indian? Nothing is wrong. All it means is that I am exposed to many more cultures around the globe, not just India. American means being Indian, but being Indian doesn't neccessarily mean being American.

nv sorry it did show up...you can delete the second repeated pic. sry.

I think this discussion is going out of hand. We are here to discuss tv serials not to insult Indian culture.Remember one imp thing my friend that as long as you stay in america you always remain indian an outsider for american.And one more thing India and other countries lived in the shadow of terrorism for past many years and it is sensitive sub for every indian. For us TB is reality show because our two respected PM were killed by terrorist So what they show in TB is true show for every Indian and if you don't believe me than ask your granny.Sorry if i offended you but you are insulting my country directly indirectly.

I think KruPawan you are crossing the limits now. If you feel Time Bomb is a trash and should not be seen it's your decision....... ham logo par isae mat thhopo. We are very very happy to see the show....... and I am sure this show will be a hit in India and other parts among Indian subcontinent community........

Don't abuse Indian culture....... a culture which is so old that even westerns try to get lesons from it........ I am proud to be an Indian...... so are many of the members here. So better stop your anti-indian culture comments on the forum. I am closing the topic because of these statements of yours.....
