Sadak a bollycat of Taxi Driver
Aptly named "Sadak" (Road) is about a "Taxi Driver" who ends up falling in love with a prostitute. Both individuals are tired of the scum of the society that surrounds their livery night life. That might not be inlined with the Hollywood version, but the mayhame that ensues afterwards is majorly similar.

Uhmmmmmm !!!
At what pt. in taxi driver did Robert de niro had a sister and fell in " love " with the prostitute, she was 13 years old. He was just trying to save her. There is no way these two movies are similar, try to do a better job next time !!
I don't get it.Taxi driver and sadak have entirely different storylines. It is stupid to say that one was based on the other
Actually, There is a sequence which is a RIP-OFF from Cyborg ( old Van Damme flick) which has Van Damme running across a wasteland and the villian's goons tie him up on something resembling a Crucifix...
Sadak is loosely based on Taxi Driver. The scenes of trauma and nervous breakdown, Sanjay's concern for prostitutes etc are taken directly from Taxi Driver. I'd say the concept has been borrowed and moulded to suit the Indian taste. Obviously, Taxi Driver per se won't appeal much in India.
There is one scene in Sadak which is a direct copy of Lethal weapon. The scene where Sanjay Dutt goes to get his taxi back from some thieves. In Lethal Weapon Mel Gibson tries to buy some drugs and the sequence is similar..
it is obvious, a mahesh bhatt movie has to ba copy of some english movie .there are no doubts whatsoever
Another scene "borrowed" from Lethal Weapon is the one where fed up from his daily routine of loneliness, Sanjay Dutt's character tries to force himself into blasting his head own head off. He tries all sorts of combinations: forehead, temple, buccal cavity, in vain and finally gives up after he never quite gets himself to pull the trigger. That scene is a total rip-off of Mel Gibson's character attempting suicide in Lethal Weapon. Mel too fails to get the job done. Afterall, how would the three sequels have been possible without him? But it is foolish to say that Sadak isn't a rip-off of Taxi Driver. Clearly De Niro's character (Travis Bickle) has a lot in common with Sanjay's character. They both experience terrible loneliness which nearly breaks them down. To soothe this isolation out, they both end up harbouring sympathy for respective prostitutes and eventually go to extremes, do carnage in order to save their protegée. I can't believe the posts from Jukebox and lebleu weren't deleted. Obviously those two are here just to troll about...
