The Real Director or A Smart Copycat

When it comes to copying a film, nobody can beat Priyadarshan,.

He has copied pictures with perfection. Rather I would say he copied well in initial days but not now……..

Of course Priydarshan has produced some brilliant movies like "Boeing Boeing","Thalavattam","Vandanam", "Chandrelekha" for Malayalam .But its heartbreaking to hear that all these were copied from some of the famous English films. He continued his trend of copying into Hindi too .He was not successful with his first Bollywod film with Muskurahat, again remake of his own Malayalam film Kilukkam which ended up as a terrible flop.

Film like “God Father” which was a super hit in Malayalam because of the screen play, sheer brilliance of acting and director’s potential were copied frame by frame to Hindi .

The psycho thriller movie "Manichitrathazhu" written by Madhu Mattom and directed perfectly by Fazil was a golden hit only because each scene in the screenplay sustains our interest in the story. The characters played in the movie by Sunny Joseph (Mohanlal) ,Nakulan (Suresh Gopi) Ganga (Shobhana) are all unforgettable.The same movie was copied by Priyadarshan into Hindi ensuing in “Bhool Bhulaiyaa”, which  was nothing but a substandard copy of the original.

The movie was declared a hit in box office but not in minds of people who have seen Manichitrathazhu .Though he continued this for several other movies   he was not successful many times. Saat Rang Ke Sapne, remake of Thenmavin Kombathu, Doli Saja Ke Rakhna, copy of Fazil's Aniyathi Pravu were all flops.

1.Boeing Boeing copied from French play Boeing-Boeing(English)

2.Thalavattam copied from One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest(English)

3.Ayalvasi Oru Daridravasi copied from Gol Maal(Hindi)

4.Mukunthetta Sumitra Vilikkunnu copied from Katha(Hindi)

5.Vandanam copied from Stakeout(English)

6.Chandralekha copied from While You Were Sleeping(English)

7.Raakilipattu copied from Bindhaasth (Marathi) 

8.Malamaal Weekly copied from Waking Ned(English)

9.Bhool Bhulaiyaa(Hindi) copied from Manichitrathazhu(Malayalam)

His latest film  Malayalam," Arabeem Ottakom P. Madhavan Nayarum in Oru Marubhoomikkadha"  (few scenes from  the english movies Excess baggage and Serendipity) had very stale kind of comedy in it.And at last comes another flop for Mollywood ,Geethanjali ,a copy of films Nadia kollapetta rathri and  Charulatha..

And this is what he has to say

“I never come up with an idea. Sometimes it is inspired from other films that I have seen and enjoyed watching, sometimes from the films that I have made.I never come up with an idea.I ventured into making Hindi films only to make better money than Malayalam movies. That was my sole aim.”
