Krazzy 4 : What a dream… team!
Seems like Krazzy 4 was supposed to be an original comedy, coming in a long long time. The team was on television and discussing the “Making of Krazzy 4″ when it all came together. The story of 4 crazy people out on a visit to a game under the guidance of their psychiatric doctor, who then disappears, leaving the four all alone in the big bad city… so that’s the story of Krazzy 4… no wait, that’s the story of The Dream Team
where
Arshad Warsi = Michael Keaton
Irrfan = Christopher Lloyd
Rajpal Yadav : Indianized and made = Peter Boyle
Suresh Menon = Stephen Furst
Story of Krazzy 4 = Story of The Dream Team
Meanwhile not a word about originality/copy/inspiration from the producers and team of Krazzy 4 who are pitching it as a “fantastic” comedy… well… makes sense, even fantastic things can be copies of original fantastic things. So will Krazzy 4 do it for us? Make us forget the original and have us laughing off our seats? Sadly the posters don’t make it seem so… except for Rajpal Yadav’s getup every thing else seems to be a copy & paste from The Dream Team’s poster…

PFC is waiting ….
Roshan’s speak up…
It definitely sounds like “The Dream Team”… I also remember seeing a Malayalam version of the same movie with a slightly different storyline… This one had the 4 mental patients escaping the mental hospital to see Amitabh Bacchan (who was supposed to be coming to Kochi)…
It seems that even the music is ‘inspired’! LOL
http://www.rediff.com/movies/2008/apr/08k4.htm
forgot to add tht the name of the malayalam movie i mentioned earlier was “Mookkillarajyathu”
An inspired movie with inspired songs. how apt! Anyway, the industry is holdong on to its tradition of maintaining traditions!
wait a minute there’s something completely original these guys have done .
nowhere in the world is crazy spelt like that ….you have to give it to them for such originality- cheers!
sags,
That’s not originality. That’s superstition! or tradition…whatever…
and its sad that the very big names of the industry are associated with this project, which has copied storyline, music and posters!… but i hope the film atleast turns out funny…
ha ha ha…Rachnaji r u still here ?
damn i thought for once we came up with soemthing good and orignal
krazzy 4
first day first show
i am not bothered about the fact that it is copied or inspired.
if rakesh roshan makes it entertaining that’s enough.
i can not enjoy a hollywood movie. the way an american audience can. in every movie there are some culturla refrences. without being aware of them or living with them i can not enjoy them. no matter how much i pretend to.
same way bollywood movies use cultral refrences i know. i enjoy them. other person who is unaware of those will not enjoy them.
if rakesh roshan has adapted dream team and indianized it. i will enjoy it more than dream team.
i enjoyed partner way too mcuh more than hitch.
rakesh roshan is far more intelligent than sagar balari when it comes to where to be inspired from.
sagar balari get inspired and made bheja fry.
bheja fry should be last on the list of movies to be adapted in india.
krazzy 4
inspired, not inspired, copied or whatever
if it entertains
that’s enough
“bheja fry should be last on the list of movies to be adapted in india”
:-?
gaurav
i am on discourse mode today
think twice
than let me know if you want to explain me that statement of mine.
and i will oblige without a hitch

Vishrant bhai
You are a very learned man. Now suppose you had written a book consolidating all your learning and knowledge for the sake of enlightening other people. Your book is a huge hit in Asia.
Now suppose some person took your book and adapted it for Europe without your consent, made some changes and passed it off as his own work.
Now even assuming that you are not bothered by either fame or fortune but would the fact that this person is just piggybacking on your years of learning and meditation and eating the cream not make an iota of difference to you ?
Well said Mithun..what really bothers is…i read one bollywood director saying..it takes at the max 1% of the whole production cost of a film to buy the original rights..now if a production company like FilmKraft, which didnt have a single flop for ages..cannot do that…what kinda precedence are we setting here?
Seems like the movie maker’s haven’t heard about Dream Team. Would it be a co-incidence???
the Story
After Krrish, I needed a break: Rakesh Roshan
With Krazzy 4, director Rakesh Roshan hands over the reigns to his assistant Jaideep Sen and takes a backseat.

don’t get personal :d
b-)
aaj rat maine ek bahut darawana sapna dekha
maine dekha ki
sagar balari ‘juno’ se inspired hokar,
khas bharat ki janta ke liye ek film bana rahe hain.
< :-p
Can’t these people take the rights of these movies and pass it off as a remake. There are so many remakes made in Hollywood with proper rights taken.
Hell, one can call it “official remake of…” which will attract the fans of the orignal movie rather than their curses. Also you can market it overseas where the tag may attract the non NRIs.
If it is expensive, make a deal which will give the holders a percentage of the earnings.
Bombay HC declares Krazzy 4 music is a copy!! Will this finally set a precedent for plagiarism let’s wait and watch.
If the movie screening gets stalled because of this, then we’ll have history of sorts in India as far as IPR is concerned.

WHAT A SHAME.. CALLING YOURSELF A FILMMAKER AFTER THIS
Ram Sampath is a good composer; I like his work. It is good to see him getting the justice. But, how did they come up with Rs 2 crores figure?
The music rights were sold for 2.5cr..so he decided to ask for an even 2cr
It seems that the movie will be release but without the title track ….
good on him…
i hope Hollywood writers Jon Connolly & David Loucka
and director Howard Zieff also sues these KKRAZZY makers…
as for Mr. Menon’s deduction that The Dream Team was inspired from the malayalam picture,yeah right !!!
only if the “The Dream Team” writer/director could go into the future to get inspired
The Dream Team (1989)
Mookkilyarajyathu (1991)
Mithun
i admire your intelligence.
you must have got my response (18)
just so that i can feel sure
i want to make it more clear
i feel it is a bit ambiguous
i was not warning you to not to get personal
i make that response to avoid your question
and tried to humor it away :d
HI im 18 and i adapted 12 angry men into a paly once…
even we could afford the rights :/
whats wrong with you rakesh roshan :@
Vivek u got the ryts!!!!
wow ..
write more on that !!!
may be a separate post !!!
Film Kraft has a tradition of getting ‘inspired’! Even their KNPH was a mixture of Prem Agan and some Prabhu Deva movie!
@J
That Prabhu Deva movie was Lovebirds. KNPH was copied heavily from it. DOnt understand how it got the Best Picture. It was entertaining, but nothing more.
Oz well whats new in this, it is well know the Roshans have been copying left, right and center. Yeah but to give em their due, at times they make pretty entertaining copies.
Khel was copied from Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, but did not mind it, as the movie was entertaining enough.
Khoon Bhari Mang from an Aussie TV series( dont remember the name), but brother Rajesh Roshan, totally copied Vangelis Chariots of Fire theme for Main Teri Hoon Jaanam.
Somehow never understan why Rajesh needs to copy like this, he has given some really good tunes for movies like Julie, Priyatma, Swami, Khatta Meetha, Yaarana without resorting to copy cat tricks.
And most of their K flicks have been inspired one way or another
Khudgarz-Kane and Abel
King Uncle-Annie
Koi Mil Gaya-ET and Forrest Gump
I think Koyla, has been one of the few movies not copied from anywhere.
Koyla was copied too… it was “inspired” by the 1990 Tony Scott film Revenge, which itself is an adaptation of a novella by Jim Harrison.
BTW, here’s Wikipedia’s list of “inspired’ Hindi films…
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Bollywood_Movies_inspired_from_English_Movies#List_of_Bollywood_movies_inspired_from_English_Movies
Ram Sampath^:)^^:)^^:)^
hope others to get this moral science lesson
BUT PFC endorses such plagiarism. When Anurag Basu copied from The Apartment in his Life in a Metro, the bigwigs on PFC praised the hell out of him. In fact he got awards for his screenplay. It seems two faced to hit the Roshans when the Basus can go scot free.
Medium
12 Angry men was a play before it was a movie….we had to get the script rights
it cost a few pounds and its quite affordable ?
but then again the point is Indian creativity is at an ALL time low..
Our advertisements are pathetic,ever listen to the radio…?i think the last good advert i saw was the IPL ad
Our cinema fails to entertain…yes there is a tzp[btw even tzp is inspired in a way...],
but in genral are we sucking hard ?
and for f*cks sake rakesh roshan dont be shy to acquire rights.we know how “creative” you are.
@Vivek Interesting info on the rights.
In any case, for a production house buying rights should not be an issue. It is total disregard to other people’s creativity and talent that peopl just copy and do not even care to acknowledge let alone go ahead and get the rights the proper way!
Hey, Ram Sampath won the court case yesterday ….
Bravo man !!! =d>
He is a great Music Director …
Remember .. Khakee, Family , Tanha Dil Tanha Safar …
And the greatest of all … Bheegi bheegi raaton mein … Which made Adnan Sami an overnight success in India …
Kudos to his GUTS !!!
Kudos to Ram Sampath for showing courage and dragging some biggest name to the court to get his due.
@Avi
yes me too have liked the music of khakee.Apart from other hit songs, it has a song “upper wale” which was not used in film properly. it was a motivational song.used to listen it repeatedly.Then this film-album has another song sung by sonu nigam somthing like “teri bahoo me hum”. this song was not used in film.very melodius song.
i did not know that behind “bhegi bhegi raato me”, it was Mr. Sampat. great work, dude.
And even after caught red handed and proved guilt in court, Mr. Roshan says this all was done to “harass him and take money”.
you blatantly copy some ones work, use it, earn 2.5 cr money with it and when the original owners asks for his due, you shout its harassment.
