Munnabhai M.B.B.S. a bollycat of Patch Adams

Hey,
In some cases u r right and in some cases u r just trying to justify ur comparing...in case of munnabhai i dont think there is any similarity. if u relate it just with medico n a guy then u can find similarity in all film which is about romance...they all have one thing common that a boy fells in love with a girl ... :

Old guy in both cases actually. But Munnabhai is funnier!

This is crap. The said movies doesn't have any similarity that can be reported as plagiarism. Please remove this. We want good entiries in this site and not fake once like this.

This is not fake. This one is real. I have seen both the films and I was baffled. These bollywood film makers are shameless. Especially Munnabhai makers should be shamed of themselves.

This is absolutely unfair to tag a great film like this as a Copy Cat. The heart of the film, which made the movie what it is, the Mumbai slang and all the comedy associated with it, can not be copied from any damn bollywood movie. Please remove this entry from your web site.

In MunnaBhai, his parents are insulted that is why he decides to be a doctor. Then ended up helping others and changing the way of hospital, but he is a BHAI. Man now i got why paki movies are failures. By The Way, have u seen paki version of MunnaBhai MBBS. That is called copying. Scene to Scene. U pakis man. u need to Grow up.

No copy here. You Pakis are shameless idiots.

The story lines are completely different. In Munnabhai, Sanjay Dutt does not "develop" the method of making patients laugh, like in Patch Adams, he just does not know any better, and just acts like what he is.

and uhh muna bhai is a gangsta and path adams is a LOSER hehe ... and circuit... ahhhh flawless character... i mean.. uhh HOTTIE

munnabhai a bollycat ? see the above link where it says that 20th century fox is buying the rights to make a movie called GANGSTER MD

please remove such false plagiarism accusations

hahaha another fake comparison.according to ur opinion every movie is a copy of some other coz every movie has a hero and a heroine and who r in love with each other.honey for ur kind info. hollywood is going to copy this movie and even the same title" gangster MD.boy just come out of mentality to call bollywood as a copycat.ur site has some true info. but such comparisons are just degrading its level.

hey!!!!!!!u ppl r so jealous of bolly movies dat ur makin unnecessary comparisons jus bcoz ur own paki movie industry is as small as vatican city........if u hv 2 make comparisons go chck out ur own paki movies who try 2 copy every second bolly movie.....plz remember this suggestion..

There is a huge difference between being inspired from something and copying something. All of us are constantly inspired from something; theoretically this website is plagarized because there are tons of concepts like this.

are u'll mad or what ...have u see patch adams????????????

the only similarity is that both are wannabe doctors....and munna doesnt "heart feltly" wanna be one.....whereas Patch Adams is the story of the evolution of a man trying to find himself..and who finds the purpose of his life living against all odds........except for the docotr part please enlighten me with more matches in the storyline!!!!!

mbbs has the same plotline as patch adams both persons doesn't like the medical system and tries their own way healing a patient...and love story...bollywood just added one so it can be a bollywood movie...a bolly wood movie without a love story is impossible to be a bollywood movie...stop being ignorant indians and accept the fact...and why are you hating on pakis so much...ignorance is bliss

Mark Antony is spot on! There are quite a few movies that Bollywood has made that can be called frame to frame copies of their original and there are quite a few that have worked on a "Concept" (if you all understand what a concept means) adopted in A movie and a lot of movies listed on this site are crap. A copy falunted as an original definitely needs to be caned but it is an utter disgust to see good movies with original storylines listed here. I feel this site is probably an excellent example of a good "Concept" gone sour. A bad copy which fails.

You Fuckin Pakistanis have to come off age and look at starts not gutter.....stop these nonsense and think of the reality....who copies who....u dont have to really bother....just see to it that what ur country is doing ... all bullshit

HELL YEAH... I SAW BOTH MOVIES... BOLLYWOOD STILL SUCKS!

settle down !

The person explains how its not an exact rip-off.

I also thought of PatchAdams when I saw Munnabhai. Its interesting that someone else did too.

You could say its more of an inspiration than a copy.
But thats when you compare it to the rest of the hindi movies.

The whole movie is carried forward in the same way PatchAdams was. So there was a copy at some level. Probably the screenplay and dialogues were innovative. But the initial story wasn't.

So get over it. This does deserve a mention on this great site. :)

What ever you do is a copy, because your actions are inspired by your surrounding.

If you put a child in a closed room till he is adult, do you expect him to be "intelligent", "creative" etc. No right, because he never got any inputs on which he could learn and proceed. So now would you call every person in this world a Copy as every person is learning and beign inspired and influenced by his surroundings?

Website author wrote: "... 'Munnabahi' is an original story because it's being remade in Hollywood as 'Gangsta MD', ..."

Do not play with words. Munnabai is original not because it is being remade in Hollywood... it is original for other reasons. Obviously you haven't seen either so stop making stupid comparisons.
