    Two wrongs don’t make a right. Also pretty terrible to blame one dude for the faults of an entire national industry.

      nobody’s saying either wrong is right. nobody’s blaming the one dude.

      as an indian, i’ve always cringed at movies like baazi, kaante, aatank hi aatank, hum tum, chachi 420, zinda, ek ruka hua faisla, satte pe satta, sholay, qayamat, ghulam, and a boatload of other shameless rip-offs and i was just marvelling at the irony of the situation.

      It’s not a wrong though and even if it was, it’s not their idea to begin with, they stole it from Hunger Games and Battle Royale.
