Zinda (2006)

Sunjay Gupta Copy Machine
24 April 2006
Warning: Spoilers
This director hasn't made a lot of movies, but the following are his movies that are copied from the corresponding movie names:

Zinda - Old Boy

Musaafir - U-turn

Kante - Resorvior Dogs

Jung - Desperate Measures & Face Off

Khauf - Juror

I read somewhere on the internet that his Aatish, Hamesha, and Raam Shastra were also copied/inspired by some "hollywood" movies. I'm sorry if I'm too harsh on the guy, but he's a copy machine man. He's the copy machine sitting in Kinko's that does the crappiest copy for you and you loose your 10 cents and the time.

Whats funny is that people are big fans of this director. They think he's making a difference to the Bollywood, well he may be, considering that bollywood creates ridiculous movies. But I mean come on, I did a little research on all the movies Sunjay Gupta made and they're all copies of one movie or the other. Thats nothing but ignorance. There is a movie director out there who does not realize that he lacks innovation and the ability to produce a piece of work on his own. Yet he claims that he is a director.

Again, I will say what I say every time, I understand that people everywhere just want to make money the easiest possible way. If Americans here in Hollywood somehow figured out a way to copy something and make money off of it, they'd do it. But even remaking a copied movie takes about 80% of the effort. Thats why most of the Hollywood people just end up making something totally new. Why why why, why make a piece of crap out of something good and live with your head held up high.

How can someone feel good after feeding a copied piece of crap to the Indian public and think that its the right thing to do. Well, I suppose they have to show the original to the producer as a prototype and then when the producer likes the original, he orders the director to make the exact copy. If thats how it works in Bollywood then I can safely say that Bollywood is way behind. But then again Sunjay Gupta was the director and producer of "Kaante", why did he copy that off of Resorvior Dogs, he didn't have to answer anyone there. That really proves that he is a no talent as s clown.

Oh yeah, about the movie, Sunjay Dutt sucks, does pretty much the same thing in every movie. He is over confident and why shouldn't he be, all the low-esteemed and inferiority complexed people in South Asia, and even in some western countries idolize him. What better chance than this for Sunjay Dutt to cash his faky personality. If anyone can remember his conversation with Chota Shakeel that was out on the internet a while back they'll know what i'm talking about when I say faky personality. Someone said Lara does a great job as a babe, but not as a Punjabi cab driver, I agree. John Abraham is the worst successful actor possibly in the history of Bollywood. Along the same line as Salman Khan, but worse. There are flaws in the movie, specially when Sunjay Dutt fights those Thai guys with a hammer. No way a literally Old Boy like Sunjay Dutt could fight so many Thai guys like that. They would kick his u know what in 10 seconds I bet anything.
