Bollywood Posters Copy from Hollywood

Batman / Ra-One

The latest to join the copy-cat bandwagon is 'Ra One' with posters inspired from ‘Tron: Legacy’ and ‘Batman Begins’. As soon as SRK unveiled the teaser poster, comparisons with the Hollywood film's poster was all over the internet. This poster is clearly a copy from Christian Bale, Katie Holmes starrer ‘Batman Begins’



The Notebook / Kites

Though there were not many takers for the Hrithik Roshan- Barbara Mori love saga ‘Kites’, the poster was a visual rip-off of the 2004 film ‘Notebook’. The makers of ‘Kites’ also didn’t mind lifting a few scenes also from the Hollywood film.


Lords of Dogtown / Zindagi na milegi Dobara

The audience would have expected the brother-sister duo of Farhan-Zoya Akhtar to atleast have an original poster. But like the rest of Bollywood, they also looked for bare-bodied inspiration in Katherine Hardwicke’s ‘Lords of Dogtown’.

Anti-Christ / Murder2

When the ‘Murder 2’ makers asked the audience to choose their favourite poster, little did they realize that it would get so much flak. The poster starring Emraan and Jacqueline has a number of outstretched arms entangled between some branches and roots have been "inspired" by the poster of Lars won Trier's " Antichrist".

Till Death/Ugly aur Pagli

The makers of ‘Ugly aur Pagli’ were truly lacking in the creative department. While the film was a rip-off of ‘My Sassy Girl’, the poster was a copy of hugely successful TV series ‘Till Death’.

Prince of Persia Game/ Drona

Bollywood even Copy its poster from a Game.
