Cinema is always something which gives us new unseen things which happens all around the world and gives us stories of different people who is living in different circumstances and situations. So it’s always a give and take from different parts of the world. Some take inspiration from the plots of foreign flicks and some directly takes a film from other languages.
We are here presenting you a gallery which consists of our Malayalam movies which is made from taking so called inspiration from other language films or clear copycats even without giving credits to the original ones. Some films we are giving here only took the basic theme and made it in a completely different manner. There are films which had really well made just like the original ones and there are ones which failed to reach to the standard of the original ones as well. Now please take a look into those ones and it is quite interesting to know those ones…
