Before it released the movie made enough noise to attract audience; throwing promises that it is too hot to handle, referring to the sizzling chemistry between the actors while the story is quite thrilling and horrifying. Well, it proved to be exactly that, but 'Murder 2' generated fresh set of gossips once it hit the screens.

While 'Murder 2' was critically acclaimed for its concept and main cast, two weeks since its release the movie is still a hot topic of discussion, on turning out to be the Indian version of a Korean movie 'Chugyeogja', in English titled 'The Chaser'. The plot about a cop on a mission of human trafficking and hunt for serial killer only made people to connect 'Murder 2' directly with that of 'The Chaser'.

Incidentally, the posters itself had generated talks earlier for being similar to Lars won Trier's 'Antichrist', a Korean ad commercial and also 'Bad Guy', yet another Korean film.

When asked about the uncanny resemblances of the posters, director Mohit Suri had then said, "How can you expect someone to come up with purely original? You do see, read and get inspired. That poster is a copy from some Korean ad commercial even they have copied that from someone else."

Hmmmmm, copy or not what matters in the end is the entertainment quotient. For that matter, one can consider this way that copying or (putting it in better way) "inspired" only helps the Indian audience to get introduced to foreign flavours. Yeah, its another story that its high time our filmmakers come up with something original so that Indian films "inspire" international filmmakers.

Can you come up with Hindi movies which are inspired from foreign flicks? Share them here....
