Bollywood's plagiarism problem: A look at movies accused of copying

While it was India's official entry to the Academy Awards, "Barfi!" faced significant backlash for allegedly lifting numerous scenes and comedic gags from classic Hollywood films, including those of Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton.

This Kamal Haasan comedy, while beloved, was a clear adaptation of the American hit "Mrs. Doubtfire" (1993), though it was generally considered an authorized remake in spirit if not explicitly.

This Aamir Khan starrer, a massive box office hit, was widely criticized for being a direct copy of Christopher Nolan's critically acclaimed "Memento" (2000), even though it was an official remake of a Tamil film.

Directed by Sanjay Gupta, this action thriller was openly acknowledged by the director as heavily inspired by Quentin Tarantino's "Reservoir Dogs" (1992), with many scenes bearing striking resemblances.

This Emraan Hashmi-starrer was accused of being a blatant copy of the South Korean psychological thriller "The Chaser" (2008).
