Sirf Tum a bollycat of You've Got Mail
The tag line of "Sirf Tum" (Only You) should have been something like: the bloody postman's here. That's because it copies it's plot from the Meg Ryan-Tom Hanks flick, except for the fact that there's no bookstore or slow-ass AOL dialup accounts. The whole thing is done via snail-mail... which explains why it took the whole 3 hours length to know each other's indentity compared to an hour and ten minutes in the original.

Hi,
I am really not sure if this movie belongs to this category. This movie was originally made in Tamil dubbed into Telugu. Both the movies were hits, after this the same movie was remade in Hindi. The original was released in Tamil and Telugu in 1996. So you can easily claim that the English version is a hollycat of this original Tamil version.
This is actually a copy of a tamil film which was a copy of the old film "THE SHOP AROUND THE CORNER," which years later was remade as "YOU'VE GOT MAIL."
Hi ,
its not tamil movie.its originally made in telugu 1st then dubbed into temil.and then re-make into hindi.this film director name is Karunakaran. and its released in 1998.i dont know wheather karunakaran stolen from english.
Neel Trivedi, you are absolutely right.
The tamil movie is a bollycat from The Shop Around the Corner. Spot on.
Sirf Tum is the remake of Kaadhal Kottai directed by the same director.

Kaadhal Kottai may be inspired from "The Shop Around the corner" but certainly not of "You've Got Mail" because You've Got mail released after Kaadhal Kottai.
