There are around 280 Bollywood Hindi movies that are copied from Hollywood movies. Several even frame by frame and shot for shot.

Bollywood super hits like Ghajni, Mann and Black all took inspiration from Hollywood films.

Nonetheless, Salman Khan’s Tubelight can also be added to the list. The film takes inspiration from the Hollywood film, Little Boy.

It wasn’t just Salman Khan’s acting skills that caught the audiences’ attention.

The teaser of the film as expected became a top trend on social media soon after its release. Salman Khan’s acting left everyone lost for words. However, there was something else that caught the audiences’ attention other than the stunning visuals.

Much to our surprise, the unique story and idea of the film are an inspiration from the 2015 Hollywood film Little Boy.

The story of the film is about a boy, whose encounter with a magician and advice from a priest, convinces him that the power to bring his dad safely back from war may be within his actions and himself.

Here are the two trailers for proof, just in case.

Tubelight (2017)

Little Boy (2015)

What is your take on this? Is Tubelight a copy or not?

The war fantasy, drama film is slated to hit the screens on June 25th, 2017 – which is right in time for Eid.
