Barfi - Background Check

Movie BARFI & My Experience :

Watched BARFI in Udaipur two weeks back. Loved the movie that time. A movie buff like me could not stop himself from clapping with many others like me in the theater at the end of the movie. Just had a thought that time that I will go to FB and post my review and feeling for what a piece of ART this movie was for me. Thank god I was not having internet access for two days and that I still don't use a smart phone, which saved me from making a fool of myself.

This week I got to know how more then 32 scenes of the movie were directly copied from oscar winning films. How the complete background music is a copy of the Oscar winning film Amili. I was shocked and angry, felt like a fool....a big one. Shame on you Anurag Basu and Pritam for doing this!!!! 

Its so amazing to know that the film has done 100 crore business. And to add to the shame the film has been sent to Oscars. Its a fact that the film will be thrown away in Oscars in screening committee due to its copied content. But what has happened to the Film Federation of India (FFI) who are so brain dead to pick up this film for Oscars. I guess they don't watch too much of Foreign Movies like me these days....

This incident has evoked a fresh interest in me for Foreign films and diluted it for my Hindi films as of now.... and i feel sorry for it but can't help it.
