Apparently, yindians can't come up with original impressive posters for movies without ripping em off from somewhere else
post such instances here
was watching Agneepath trailer and noticed that Sanjay Dutt's face was pretty close to an Aphex twin album

Iron fort's furious lion

copied from pirates of carribbean - the curse of the black pearl.

In the above film - Iron fort's furious lion, even the theme music for the hero is remastered music of the jack sparrow!!!
And velayudham copied from assassin's creed is unacceptable - The stunts come in the film itself - WTH!

@Anorion: Why do you always prefix a "y" before the word "indian"?

Oh dude you reminded me of Kim Ki Duk. Any new releases. I rank up Bin Jip as a masterpiece and SSFAW, and others follow. Didn't like Dreams.

Now you understand why bollywood s***s donkey bollocks? All good movies in Hindi should not be labelled Bollywood, because bollywood is the epitome of cheesiness and kitschiness and I feel sorry for all those who dig it.

Also, since bollywood is constantly ripping off hollywood (or otherwise) movies, those have to be better in many ways for the bollywood bigwigs to even consider ripping them off. They know very well that the Indian public will watch anything they throw at them. So, in order to reduce the effort in creating something aesthetic and original, they create a half cooked tripe reverse engineered from hollywood and thrown to the dogs (read cinema goers).

This is why I gave up watching bollywood altogether.

PS:
Even hollywood as some shitty titles. So don't call me biased towards hollywood movies.
