smuggle are more colloquial than piracy. Bootleg is used more for liquor, narcotics etc. While the dvds are smuggled into Pakistan, the fact remains that they are also pirated versions. The difference is this: DVDs are smuggled into Pakistan because it is (or was) illegal to get movies through imports. However, most of the DVDs available in Pakistan are also pirated, that is, not released by the copyright holders for DVDs. On balance, piracy is more serious from Bollywood's point of view as it affects their revenues. If legit DVDs were to be smuggled into Pakistan, it wouldn't be piracy but still smuggling - yet, it would no longer be a problem of Bollywood but Pakistan's law and order problem. In your paraphrasing, some of the contextual meaning has been greatly lost. Some POV also entered, probably inadvertently, when you call the India TV show "popular" - The TRP ratings of the show and the channel are not much to write home about, the previous categorization of tabloid show seems a better description. Some grammar mistakes have also jumped in, such as, plagiarized Pakistani industry - it should be plagiarized from. A minor matter, but strictly speaking, it should be "plagiarised" as we are supposed to use British English on this article. Roshan senior did not launch his sons, just as Harivanshrai Bachchan did not launch Amitabh or Sekhar did not launch A. R. Rahman. I felt the stress was on people who made it more on their own steam rather than their parents'. Suzanne Khan is the wife of Hrithik Roshan and the daughter of Sanjay Khan of "The Sword of Tipu Sultan." On a topic like Bollywood which sees constant churn like it does, it becomes very difficult to maintain the integrity when several edits are made within a few minutes. The situation becomes complicated especially in situations like these, where all the edits are well-meaning, but some improving the quality and some reducing the same. I would like to hear from the other regular editors of this article as well about what they think about the issue. --

scripts, even if one is used without the other. Give it up. Please stop trying to portray the genteel discussion on this page as if it were a whirlwind of controversy. ("I feel like I'm walking through a minefield. Please help us achieve a peaceful consensus on this." "I'm caught right in the middle of you guys.") I know you are concerned about us, but the very ethnic communities you feel obliged to "protect" by eradicating Urdu and Hindi from Bollywood articles are the very same ones who disagree with your censoring crusade. Please stop portraying yourself as the final arbiter of propriety here on Knowledge, like telling people they need to convince you of their opinions or face censorship. Please stop trying to adjudicate unrealistic (and frequently contradictory) "solutions" designed only to appease your own opinions. (Like:

head-over-heels in love with her, and marries her. This breaks Anjali's heart and she leaves to go and settle far away. The marriage of Rahul and Tina results in the birth of baby Anjali (Sana Saeed), and due to complications following the birth, Tina loses a lot of blood and passes away, leaving Rahul devastated. Anjali Khanna grows up, and finds out that her mom had left her some letters to read, and she does so, and finds out that her dad may have been in love with Anjali instead without realizing it. She then makes attempts to make both of them meet again. She does locate Anjali, only to find out that she is to marry Aman Mehra (Salman Khan) shortly, and Rahul and the heartbreak she suffered is history.

bollycat.com and I think that undermines the collective effort of those who've created this article for research purposes. Succumbing to H2D2 wishes sends the wrong message to others. I hope you reconsider. I don't want to edit it out myself and undermine your revision, but I don't want such a malicious, slanderous and dubious site linked from a respectable site like wikipedia. If we keep this one, it gives the green light to others with malintentions and wishes of having their own sites linked, no matter how shorn of merit they are. The only purpose I can see of linking a website here is as a resource to readers, so it is our responsibility we give them accurate information.

1360:

So, please, do not bring race into this, I'm sure you know that most Pakistani's are Bollywood fans anyway and even they could find this site offensive and inaccurate. What is relavent to me is the content, and because the content is highly propaganized, sometimes offensive and inaccurate and not suitable for research, I decided to remove the link. I did not feel the same about the film music web site, which at least gives the sound clips for comparison for vistors to make their own judgements, hence why I did not edit it. I only justified what I edited. If you would note, I also left the initial paragraph discussing Plagiarism alone.

1740:

there are many more money submitted to Bollycat than approved. (Again, I've told you before that it's not my site, but I do contribute there). There's a pending cases page, and you can see there that people have made much more ridiculuous assumptions to link movies that the ones that you are most annoyed with, like KKHH. The whole point of that site I think is to create a list of what people believe to be plagiarism, yes that includes accepting others' imaginative points of view, but that's part of deal. Besides, let's say Knowledge implements such a rating system... what rating do you think the article on 'Carl Rove' would get???

720:(and millions of other users unfamiliar with Devanagari) could read them and get a more accurate sense of how to pronounce them. (If someone wanted to, I also wouldn't object to someone adding e.g. Tamil versions of non-Tamil actors' names; it's an official Indian language, no one's eyes will explode if they see it, and it makes Knowledge more useful for those users). However, none of these versions needs to be deleted, and it's not an explosive enough situation that we need to wait for coordination; if an article has one and not the other, then eventually someone will come along to fill in the gap. 206:

of informations. So if we want to know the true name of a hindi film or actor, we need a script that renders Hindi correctly. Two scripts are made for that : Devanagari and Urdu. I use Devanagari only because I don't know Urdu script at all, but having Urdu script as well is no problem to me. We can't add both each time we edit a Bollywood related article because Elyaqim and I have only half of the knowledge, and it would require us to be perfectly synchronized, which isn't possible. So one musn't see political issues when only one these two scripts is given.

1261:

them made accountable. As an aspiring writer myself I can relate to how wrong it is to steal anothers intellectual property. Unfortunately, Bollycat, which I hoped would have listed genuine cases, has too many egregiously wrong cases and that has more to do with it's anti Bollywood politics and I think it is unacceptable. In fact, I was going through most of it's entries last night, and I found more wrong than right cases, and in some instances even when a genuine "bollycat" has been identified it has been linked with the wrong Hollywood film e.g. the film

1581:, you are still spamming the article. Let me get my point straight, I have no problem having a paragraph on plagiarism. But the paragraph you are inserting again and again is simply a website promotion. The site has dubious merit, as pointed to by others. Also it is not a universally accepted site like imdb. All you are doing here is promoting the site, and wikipedia is not a tool for such promotional activities. I'm asking you again and again, give some compelling reason why your site is so important to be mentioned in detail here. Thanks. -- 1462:

to marry her fiancé Walter soon. She can't find a rest until she really knows for sure that Sam Baldwin is not the one person for her. Thus, Annie travels to Seattle, where Sam and Jonah live, and there decides that Sam is not the one. The letter she never sent was posted by a friend of Annie, and therefore Jonah, who feels that she's the one for his dad, already booked a flight to New York in order to meet her on the roof of the Empire State building, just like in "An Affair to Remember". Of course, his father follows him instantly...

Japanese I know, which required learning to read all over again. That is the point of giving the title in both scripts. To make it easy for everyone. You guys seem to think that Urdu and Hindi are different languages -- they aren't. They're different registers of the same language, with vocabulary skewed towards either Sanskrit or Arabic/Persian. Look at the Knowledge articles on Hindi, Urdu, and Hindustani. Bollywood films are consciously aimed at the street version of Hindustani, which is the same however it is written.

2077:

controversial (which is the problem with the Urdu/Hindi language labels). Bollywood itself is dominated by Muslims, many of them refugees from the Punjab and the Partition, who fled to Mumbai and made new lives in the film industry. They tend to be extremely respectful of Hindu beliefs, and many films financed, directed, and acted by Muslims feature idealized versions of Hindu worship, Hindu shrines, etc. They're equally respectful of Islam. Bollywood films tend towards a chipper, cheery "Hindu-Muslim bhai-bhai" attitude.

restore any reverts he makes unless he joins in a discussion to justify them and to work toward consensus. He doesn't engage in any specifically blockable behavior on a chronic basis, unless perhaps he is trolling. (It's hard for me to tell if he's sincere, a troll, or engaged in revenge reversion.) However, if the editing community as a whole finds him a nuissance, he can be blocked by concensus. I know at least one editor out there would like this, but I'm more interested in what the rest of you think.

1369:, it is making a claim that somebody has stolen somebody elses original work and is claiming it as their own. While saying something has violated the copyright of something, is claiming that content has been extracted from somebody else's work without permission. All claims must be proven as either true or false. These are very serious claims and cannot be made casually. In fact, I am not very well versed in Internet law, but I wonder if bollycat.com could face charges for slander and defamation. 31: 1707:

Bollywood is relevant too. I'm not part of a gang or a conspiracy out there to defame Bollywood. I'm just a fan who believes there are things, important things, that we ignore. Like plagiarism. As far as the site itself is concerned, if it comes out as a Bollywood Haters Club, I frankly don't care. What I care is that it provides a long list of movies and more than often accurate descriptions of script and story plagiarism in Bollywood. Wish you could deal with that...

3992:. Yes it says HINDI language. It doesn't matter if they use poetic Urdu words or dialogues. They similarly use Punjabi songs, dances and phrases. It's the Hindi film industry. The reason why the name may be written in Urdu on DVD covers is because despite the fact that the two languages sound similar, they are written quite differently and thus it makes sense to release the same movie (so no dubbing) to two different audiences (Indian and Pakistani). 4421:

related in some sense--whether it's the film's language or just because films are relased in their non-dubbed form with devanagari and nastaliq. This is no doubt something that can be falsified on a case-by-case basis. For instance--religious (Hindu) film marketing may very well not include any nastaliq. This is a problem you get with mutually intelligible languages that we will have to deal with.

3953:

formal realms that it becomes incomprehensible to those not educated in literary Urdu (including, of course, plenty of illiterate or otherwise uneducated Urdu speakers). Hindi, of course, has its own literary and formal registers which pose the same barriers to comprehension. The dialogue of most "Bollywood" films is written in an uncomplicated register understandable to a broad range of people.

103:

prices went up and cost of film production did not give good returns. Someone who is closed to this history can tell better. Shoppers Stop in Andheri was connected to either studio or a cinema house. Also the word talkies = talking movies need presentation in history of bollywood. Then there are immitation of Bollywood in the form of Tamil's Tollywood, Kerala's Kollywood, Lahore's Lollywood.

2651:. It might seem at first sight that if a film professional becomes well known (Nandita Das, Satyajit Ray) they are casually appended to the big list in the sky titled 'Bollywood'. Feels odd to see Sen and Ray on the page - maybe the writer just did not make clear enough that the references were to what was NOT Bollywood? Whatever the case - scope for tidying up I wonder? 3145:). The author is a Canadian transvestite, whom I know slightly from the time he posted to rec.arts.movies.local.indian on Usenet. He's funny but ... he's not the whole story. Some of us started out making fun of Bollywood and ended up loving it. So I removed the sentence re camp. However, there may be another way to add the info (and the website?). Comments? Discussion? 4416:

more but do not remove Urdu script until there is a massive chance in consensus. Also, your evidentiary demands are not something that can easily be met for Hindi, either. There are mixed references about what language the films are actually in. Also, you may note that if you ever study linguistics that language delineation is not always the most clear prcess and it

theories at us. (Like: I am "some BJP anti-Muslim activist." BernardM and I are the same person, and we are coding articles to identify Muslims. Saying BernardM is a false identity by misquoting him as saying "this is the name I use when ....") Everything was fine until you set up a roadblock with your party of one, and starting censoring articles and making demands.

1314:

relativism here. Two of the later, Mother India and Shree 420 have been discussed over the years in the Indian press as being inspired from Hollywood. As for the other two movies, they are relatively new and many a references exist on the web from mainstream Indian newspapers about speculations of these movies containing, at least in part, plagiarized content.

3045:

so to speak and leveling an accusation, albeit implicitly, which is not what an encyclopedia is all about. So if there is a scent of wrong doing in the actions of the subject about whom the article is being written, you ALWAYS use the word 'alleged' - its common sense, polite and saves you from something called 'libel' - ever heard of that word??

3199:

Where ARE the Bollywood studios or facilities located? That would be useful info, particularily for those of us who aren't Mumbaikars. A map, with studios marked on it? Comments re traffic in Mumbai, difficulties this makes for movie stars commuting between sets? Stars who marry their drivers? That could be a whole section later in the article.

3283:, and bring some of his? her? insights into the article, that would be great. The book has some great discussions of the Bollywood creative process that would really enhance the article. So would the material on locations of film studios. More work on the history of Bollywood in particular would help. Rise and fall of studios, directors, etc. 3257:

nothing less than Featured Article promotion and if it does not match the criteria at the moment we should be working to get it to reach the criteria. So could someone just list what the article needs to become a featured article and then work can begin. If it needs a lot of work I may nominate it as Indian Collaboration of the Week. Thanks.

2027:. Since there is a heck of a lot more to the Indian film industry than just Bollywood (though Bollywood is the biggest chunk of it), and since some of the movies that have had a large vogue outside India, like Satyagit Ray's films, aren't from Bollywood, it would be seriously misleading to put the main discussion in the Bollywood article. 3719:, Routledge, 2004. Ganti is a professor of anthropology at Connecticut College. Respectable press, respectable academic. Linguists might quarrel with the description of Hindustani -- it's more that Hindi and Urdu are registers of Hindustani -- but the fact that the film industry goes for the broadest common denominator is undisputed. 1653:

that the site has been criticized as inaccurate. H2d2 can decide whether he wants the link dropped entirely, or whether he wants it there with the caveat. I don't want Knowledge to go on record as endorsing a site that puts up anonymous denunciations of dubious value. We're supposed to be an encyclopedia, not an advertising forum.

2564:

back to my poser - fame is glueing together a number of notable and otherwise non-notable names; this seems to be a global phenomenon. But fame in south asia is its own paradigm if you catch my drift. Worthy of a section? We could then have a global list of entertainers. I think I well repair back here after some sleep!

planting a time bomb in the engine room. Later, there is a gas leak and an explosion and the train catches fire. The rest is your quintessential disaster movie of the people fighting for their life and rescue efforts made to save them. The towering inferno is about people trapped in a skyscraper with raging fires.

1063:, Promothesh Barua, Nur Jahan, Madhubala? In his day, Dilip Kumar was very famous, earning the nickname "Tragedy king" (for his portrayal of tragic heroes). So, either the actors from all eras should be mentioned, or the bloated section highlighting the current box office favorites need to be summarized. Thanks. 704:

and BernardM might be the same person. It was just weird, both of you starting to add scripts at the same time. If I'm being difficult, it's because I want to be fair to people who might not be here to bring up their POVs. If an Indian Muslim could assure me that there's no problem, I'd stop worrying.

3969:

Again, you're starting from the assumption that Hindi and Urdu are completely separate languages, and that a Hindi film will be unintelligible to Urdu speakers and vice-versa. That's just not the case. The film-makers don't record the dialogues twice, once in Hindi, once in Urdu. They're written, and

3774:

The title of a film, in Hindustani, is pronounced the same whether it is written in Devanagari or Arabic/Persian/Urdu script. It's the same word, different scripts. It is HARD to learn to read a different script. It was much easier for me to learn Tongan or French than it was to learn the tiny bit of

3525:

I looked at the Bollywood entry and just HAD to edit. Someone had inserted a personal essay about Bollywood values. It had no references, just assertions. Had to go. Someone had again inserted some commercial sites as "news." Someone who adores Sholay added several references to it in the body of the

3463:

a simple web search will turn over so many different options for fans who seek to learn the style of Bollywood dancing, or who are just enthusiastic about the song and dance sequences. I felt it was a great addition to the wiki, elaborating that Bollywood is no longer an underground or cult phenomena

3217:

Currently Film city is a single location in Goregaon ( in the suburbs) and has most sets and highest usage for film and TV shooting in Mumbai. However independent studios exist outside this area ( ie RK studio in Chembur) Film city came up in the 80's and 90's. Till a couple of years ago did not have

3159:

I don't think the Deewar Dialogue has a place in this article. It just doesn't represent anything to the general reader. Firstly, I don't believe an example is necessary, as the article stresses continually of how Hindi films are melodramatic etc. Also, I'm not sure whether anyone will agree with me,

2906:

I'm not against people editing my prose. I welcome it, when the editor is skilled. Users Autumnleaf (from New Delhi), IFaqeer, and Mustafaa have been wonderful at fixing my prose. But I don't think you have that level of skill, PDB. In many cases you make things worse rather than better. I hate to be

2547:

Agree with everything you say. I've been meaning to work on a general history of Indian cinema article for ages, and just haven't gotten a round tuit. If you want to excise the subsection and make it the start of the new article, and point both Bollywood and Cinema of India at it, please do! At least

2518:

It seems to me that these two phrasings ought to redirect to the same place, and if that place should be a subsection of anything, it should be at the general "Cinema of India" page. A general history of Indian film should not be tacked on way down towards the end of a Bollywood article. I'm sure I

2487:

And my Hindi is nonexistant! This wasn't a question of literalness, but of the English being smooth and evocative. "I have Mother" is more, I dunno, poetic? It's certainly how I would respond if someone addressed me that way. But perhaps it doesn't capture the flavor of the Hindi dialogue. I wouldn't

2250:

immediately coming after reference to Urdu smacks of some sort of fundamentalism which equates Urdu with Islam - I don't buy that argument. In an article on Hollywood, one doesn't talk of elements of christianity. Why shd it be diff here? In fact, we have elements of Sikhism and Islam as well. I only

1919:

It's a specific set of Urdu words commonly associated with Urdu love poetry/Sufi religious poetry (the categories overlap) that are often used in song lyrics. Zindagi, dil, ishq, mohabbat ... all words of Persian origin. The other set of references commonly used (hey, probably should be mentioned) is

1749:

I added the NPOV tag. I'm not sure if this really counts as POV or if the article just needs cleanup. An example of this is: "Indian audiences expect full value for their money, with a good entertainer generally referred to as paisa vasool, (literally, "money's worth"). There has even been a quirky

1677:

It's the dirty secret of Knowledge that it comes down to gangs and numbers when you're dealing with people who won't compromise. H2d2 has three reverts a day on any one article; I have three reverts. More than that and one is blocked for a while. If it's just him versus me, then we have an impasse. I

1631:

I believe that Harprit is the editor who also uses anon IPs to attack the Urdu and Hindi articles, and has now expanded into the Bollywood article. He believes -- against the consensus of all linguists -- that Urdu and Hindi are two separate languages that just happen to have absorbed some vocabulary

1598:

I just noticed that sometime during all the recent reversion and vandalism, someone removed all information re Bollywood as making movies in Hindi! I know that this is a politically difficult topic, but it really must be addressed in the article. I have tried to restore what I remember of the text we

After his wife died, Sam Baldwin did not think about other women. His 8-year old son Jonah thinks that his father needs a woman in order to get his life back in order and calls in on a nation-wide radio-show. The voice and story of Sam is heard by hundreds of women, including Annie Reed, who is about

Because the tallest skyscraper being built in India would have been unimaginable and since the country actually does have the world's largest rail network, replacing the "Glass Tower" to India's fatest train, aptly named the "Super Express", really made sense in the Bollywood version. The rest of the

The Bollycat link, a web site cataloguing alleged Bollywood copies of HW films(called Bollycats) and the write up pertaining to it was removed after reviewing the web site and deeming it very unprofessional and malicious. There is a lot disinformation and racial based vitriol posted on the site. This

285:

The problem, as I see it, is that if we use Urdu ONLY for names of Urdu origin, it's like putting a sticker up that says "Muslim". Given the political situation in South Asia, this could be difficult. It also goes against the usual Bollywood policy, which is NOT to make a big deal out of Hindu/Muslim

205:

Ok, let me explain clearly my opinion. Even when they're everywhere the same, for various reasons, English transliterations (nearly) always suck a lot, from a linguistic point of view. But we have to use them since it's English Knowledge, I agree. Having only English transliteration is a serious lack

4420:

a political one as well. The point being that you get contradicting claims which are politicized and that you will not find an 'objective truth' of Hindi vs. Urdu but a multitude of interpretations. So, continue this discussion by all means but don't remove Urdu script from the films because it is

3926:

There is no purpose in standardising on one script or the other. The irrefutable linguistic fact of the matter is that readers of the language spoken in "Bollywood" films read one or more of the following scripts: Nagari, Urdu, and Roman. Since the article is in English, Roman is required. The other

3302:

Also, I reverted your edits in the Hollywood-Bollywood sentence. I felt that you had just made the sentence more stilted and harder to read. Now this is a matter of taste. We try to sound encyclopedic but not academic here, and it's a hard balance to attain. Still, I don't think the previous version

3256:

I've had this article on my watchlist for a while but haven't seen any genuine progress being made into it. Nor any ongoing organized effort or place to see what the article now needs. Perhaps I just missed it. Anyway the point is that an article with as much potential as this should be reaching for

3160:

but I believe the dialogue has absolutely no effect in English. The 'I have mom' bit doesn't help the idea of melodrama, to anyone that hasn't watched the movie, I doubt it will make sense or help the explanation of Bollywood dialogues. In any case, the way it's written (with the <short pause: -->

2907:

so blunt, but I'm not sure that anything else will have an effect. Until you're a better copyeditor, it would be a better use of your time and energy if you were to visit the Indian cinema projects page, look at the list of articles to be created, and start work researching and writing from scratch.

2895:

You added your own POV when you said that audiences are more familiar with Western media because of cable TV. I understand that this is a big part of it, but cheap VCDs, more Hollywood films in multiplexes, influence of large diasporic community, etc., surely have something to do with it too. Rather

2447:

this is immediately evocative of 'I have love', or 'I have my respect', 'I have integrity', 'I have honor', or a dozen other variations of this formula that can be understood to mean 'I have what matters most'. No one would ever think it means 'I have a mother and you don't'. That would be expressed

1344:

It's possible that the music site should be demoted to the external links section, rather than featured. It's also possible that it too is wildly inaccurate. That hasn't been my impression, but then I've only sampled a tiny bit of the site. If other people say that it's inaccurate, then it should be

1285:

It seems the owners of this site do not watch these films themselves or pass of the slightest of resemblance or inspirations as a copy. In some cases even if the films tackle similar themes, the copy label falls. So as this site is very propaganized and even offensive, I don't think it has any place

1131:

I know that alot of Bollywood films, especially today, are released exclusively with titles written in Roman characters, but many films show the name of the film in Devanagri script as well as the Urdu title and if anyone has any information on these, I feel they should be included in the individual

1116:

The Spicevienna linkspammer (yes, back again!) also made an edit, stating that Bollywood made films in Marathi and Gujarati. I recall hearing that there were a few such films made, but I've certainly never seen them discussed on any Bollywood websites, or heard of any specific movies. Until this can

958:

No Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam are all different scripts - though Tamil and Malayalam are similar to each other as are Telugu and Kannada. Just to preëmpt anything, yes there are special Devanāgarī characters to write தமிழ் (thamizh, Tamil), but this is actually probably more of a political problem

944:

Dunno, but I agree that the proper script would be useful for names in Tamil. I'm not that knowledgeable about Indian languages -- do Telegu, Malayalam, and other South Indian languages use the Tamil script? The Devanagari? Anyhow, same thing for those. Script as used in the region in which the film

686:

Yes, Zora, we have heard your point of view plenty of times already. Hindu, Muslim, Jew, Buddhist and (possibly) Sikh and Christian have all participated in this discussion here and we all seem to more or less agree that there is nothing inherently "provocative" or "offensive" about the use of these

616:

Muslim contingent, and they have always come down on the side of NOT stressing ethnic/religious differences, preaching tolerance, etc. This is not anti-Urdu discrimination on my part -- I think IFaqeer knows that that's not it -- it's worry about possible effects on/reactions of the PEOPLE involved.

129:

It would be helpful if we could get input from a number of editors as to the best policy for Bollywood actors and movies. I would guess that this policy need only be devised for Bollywood, as the various other Indian languages are all written in Devanagari -- right? Let's leave out Gurmukhi, I don't

4415:

It appears that there's a pretty good consensus to leave Urdu script in the opening here. There is some disagreement about why it belongs there and--rightly so. This is not very clear and the question is not whether Urdu is equal to or as important as Hindi. Bharatveer, feel free to discuss this

4353:

And what I am saying is that the use of Urdu in songs and dialogues is completely irrelevant. This is the article on the film industry, not of the movies that use Urdu or of the songs that use Urdu. The film industry is a Hindi one. Also, as I pointed out above, it is pointless to dub films in Urdu

3044:

First rule of writing an encyclopediac article: Do not level accusations, even implied. Never mind if Bollywood plagiarizes, copies or even trashes other people's work. But Knowledge has no business passing judgement - specifically, by omitting the word 'alleged' you are jumping into the bandwagon,

Hello all - was fussing around Sania Mirza's page and it struck me that there should be a category or page for south asian entertainers and celebrities. I've just been laboriously uploading a section on Nandita Das as well - hope people from here will bring their tools along to the latter site. But

1943:

Um, I have never ever seen or heard anyone who said that Bollywood was British Hollywood. I have been reading books about Bollywood, reading online Indian film magazines, and participating in the discussions on the Usenet newsgroup rec.arts.movies.local.indian for years, and I've never encountered

movie that was a transparent knockoff of the Trinity character from The Matrix. I wouldn't call that plagiarism -- it's opportunistic exploitation. It's not necessarily bad, either -- people can make imitative films that are a heck of a lot better than what they're imitating. Can, but often don't.

1652:

I put the plagiarism links in their own section and added a caveat to the Bollycat listing. I don't want it there, really, but I'm not sure that I want to play revert war with H2d2, who's defending what I'm guessing is "his" site tooth and nail. If it is going to be there, link-clickers should know

Explanation: Similar plot lines, a widower who needs a new wife according to those around him. A young kid who wants a mom, and goes to great lengths (like leaving home and going to look for the girl so he/she can hook 'em up) to get her. And then there's the thing about one of the characters going

1374:

As per copyrights law for screenwriters, at least in the US and UK guild, concepts/ideas cannot be copyrighted, only a screenplay or treatment can. Bollycat.com claims plagiarism on just some concepts/ideas resemblances, not proof. In some cases it claims plagiarism on just it's own speculations. I

1321:

But if your judgement is clouded by your blind love for Bollywood, then please go ahead and do as you please. Oh and you fail to justify in your writeup how the music website can continue to be listed? May be your forgot to mention that that Bollycat is the creation of a Pakistani, and perhaps this

Bollywood movies are released with English and Hindi titles. Since I come from Bollywood's locale, I am very sure of this. However, the titles may be changed depending on the screening location for obvious reasons. In UP, Hindi/Urdu would be common; in Tamil Nadu, Tamil and English would be common;

If the film is dubbed into Bengali or Tamil or Malayalee, then it makes sense to have those versions of the title, for the convenience of someone who might have seen it in those languages and is looking it up on the English WP. If it isn't dubbed, then I don't think there's any need to include any

to be fair, I get lots of google hits for the Hindi spelling, but none for the Urdu one. Still, the "fact" template is mistaken here, since it is not the spelling that is disputed, as far as I gather, but the relevance of Urdu to the concept. This is a content dispute (and I have no opinion here),

A while ago, someone suggested that we set up a Bollywood "project" page. Mebbe that should be an Indian cinema project page, and we could try to expand Knowledge coverage in the non-Bollywood areas. I know I'd like more info. I feel hesitant to rent Tamil films from Netflix when I don't know WHAT

This is true; linguistics do consider them variants/dialects. And yes, it is politically charged. And seeing as the distinction between Hindi and Urdu was just refered to, these 2 sentences seem quite appropriate. Perhaps the last sentence could be changed to "the Knowledge articles on those three

I believe that if a section on "Accusations of Plagiarisms" can exist on this page, it really needs a reference to this website. Of course in case of Bollycat these accusations are user submitted and sometimes perhaps a bit far-fethcing. But there is no other website out there that even bothers to

P.S I did not actually know I could edit the articles myself. I was initially going to lodge a complaint with Knowledge, but then realised I could edit it. So I edited it anonymously, but felt it would be wrong not to justify the edits, so I registered an account only to do so. Hopefully, if I get

An anon keeps inserting sentences in the top para claiming that Bollywood isn't a place, unlike Hollywood. First of all, I'm not sure that Hollywood is a place any longer. It was once, but I have the impression that film studios in LA are more spread out now. Second, negative info isn't much use.

Harprit's edits are overwhelmingly blind reverts, as in this article. He refuses to engage in any discussion in the articles, to justify his versions, or even to make corrections when someone points out spelling errors. In some cases this has gone on for a month or more. I've told him that I will

Well, most language is meaningless when taken too literally. If I were to say this to someone, I would chose the wording 'I have Mother'. It ties in with the previous wording, and is direct and to the point. If someone were to instead say, 'I am with mother', my first thought would be, 'What does

Let's say both Britannica and Encarta team up and launch an ad campaign against Knowledge. Denouncing it's use in Academia due to the very simple fact any one can go in here and put whatever they think of something. Wouldn't that be very similar to your point against Bollycat? I for one know that

If Hindi and Urdu are "pretty much the same," you've as much as admitted that they're the same language. A writing system does not make a language. Ataturk, in Turkey, decreed that the Arabic alphabet be abandoned and a Roman alphabet used. The change in writing systems did not mean that Turkish

The language on the censor certificate is absolutely irrelevant to linguistic reality. The 1960 censor certificate for Mughal-E-Azam lists the language as Urdu. For the 2004 colorized re-release, the certificate lists the language as Hindi. Yet not one word in the film has changed. It remains in

The reason I'm worried about giving some actor names Urdu glosses and others not is that it's pointing up the ethnic/religious origins of the actors in a way that I'm not sure that they, or anyone in Bollywood, would like. It's like putting stars on Jews, for me. Bollywood has always had a large

One question again, I saw Urdu titles, actor names along with Hindi/English in some late eighties/early nineties movies, (an example would be "Quyamat se Qyamat Tak". But I watched a version for International audience, so that may be the reason. What about the titles as seen in movie theatres in

I'm stuck in the middle, myself, and dithering. I would prefer to see neither A nor D scripts, as using one or the other seems like a political choice. If we're going to have them, we should probably have both. But then ... I've noticed a trend for Bollywood film titles to be in D only, no A, in

I'm OK with removing the quirky chick-flick bit. It doesn't really add to the para. As for the general tone of this article, and other Bollywood articles -- it's a constant struggle between stiff academic language and fans who write just like their favorite movie columnists, all gush and hype.

Hi Zora, I don't think the criticism will make any difference to H2D2 as the main objective remains the same, publicity. Moreover, readers will find it questionable citing the reference anyway if it's a dubious site. It's becoming apparent that H2D2 is using wikipedia as a promotional tool for

Ostensibly, I agree with Nichalp. Urdu is not relevent in every article. It is relevent and sufficient to be in the articles of people with Near Eastern names or a Muslim background. However, it was Zora who insisted unilaterally that it was unacceptable to have one without the other, saying

good examples of bad entries and I had to agree that Knowledge shouldn't link to a site where any suspicion, ridiculous or not, is allowed to stay up. I probably didn't do MY job as an editor because I didn't check out the site myself. It's not a blind love of Bollywood to demand accuracy.

We could go round on this for ages. Would it be OK to just say, well, leave the poster up for a few days and then change to another? That way everyone would get a chance to put up his/her favorite poster. I'd change back to the Dhoom poster if I thought it was going to be just temporary.

714:

I think it would be best to have both, but we don't have to delete contributions of only one version or the other. Personally, I have nothing against Devanagari script, and I think every Bollywood actor should have their name provided in Devanagari. It also seems noncontroversial to add

especially since the transliteration isn`t always clear. (Is it Zhayed Khan or Zayed Khan? Is it Shahrukh Khan or Sharukh Khan? I've seen both versions.) But if there are concerns about people getting offended or discriminated ... we should just stick to English. I hope I was helpful.^^ --

There are other subtle differences between Urdu and Hindi such as Urdu uses the "Aap" form much more often. However both names should be included. 2076:

It is unclear what an "element" of Hinduism is, and exactly how it features in Bollywood films. Perhaps I should make it clear that this is minefield territory. India has been riven by communal violence many times during its recent history, and any Hindu/Muslim references are immediately

He also seems to enjoy revert wars but not talking to people, so I'll comment on one of his changes: Wouldn't "Brother, I have mother" be better English than "Mother is with me"? Is the latter just an attempt to translate the Hindustani literally? (does it not have a verb 'to have'?)

If you want your site to really rate a mention on Knowledge, institute some quality control. One method that I've suggested is to allow viewers to vote on the accuracy of allegations. Or take a more judicious view yourself. Anything that screens out inaccurate claims of plagiarism.

3856:. Both references metion the use of Urdu and Hindi in Bollywood songs and films. Despite my giving of these references, it is quite clear that film titles are presented in both Hindi and Urdu. As a result, this article will mention both scripts. Thanks for your understanding. 377:

Thus far, I think people feel the addition of Devanāgarī and Urdu scripts to be benign rather than inflammatory. However, not only is it impossible for BernardM and I to work in such unnecessary synchronization, the Urdu names deserve a Pakistani or Indian Muslim Wikipedian's
