Karz was a superb movie, directed by the showman SUBHASH GHAI. But now where is this superb director of mine come on SUBHASH GHAIji we want the same subhashji who directed superb movies like Vishwanath, Kalicharan, Karz, Karma, Ram Lakhan, Saudagar etc. Come on Subhashji APNE PAR TU KAR VISHWAS AUR PHIR SE EK BAAR BANA DE AISI FILM JO MEIN AUR SAARI DUNIYA DEKHE BAAR BAAR.

And now I come to main topic about the Film KARZ which was beautifully directed and all the actors played their parts successfully and what music fantastic., the best performance which made me cry was the performance by DURGA KHOTE simply brilliant ,after bidaai (the filmm starring jeetendra) I think durga khote's best performance was for this film Karz.

Hello Sir
Thanks for replying

As soon as I get any link for mentioned movies,i'll definitely inform you.

There's an another movie titled 'Chase A Crooked Shadow' starring Anne Baxter.
This movie is slightly different from the previous ones.
Those movies were about missing wives but this movie is about a missing brother.
Its the story about a woman whose brother dies in an accident and returns after some days.The woman does not accept him as her brother but everyone around her says that he is her brother.
There's an another movie called 'Bunny Lake Is Missing' starring Laurence Olivier.This movie is about a mother and her missing daughter.

Thanks Raj for this valuable info...
I will soon try to watch all these films and then would add them in a separte post on "Khoj" and its similarities..
So keep visiting.
Cheers!

Hello Sir!
Rishi Kapoor starrer 'Khoj' was the remake of hollywood fick called 'Honeymoon with a stranger',which itself was based on a play by Robert Thomas. This particular play has inspired many movies in hollywood and also few tv mini- series.

Hi Raj,
Thanks for visiting and giving a very valuable info which infact has to be included in the Inspired Movies Sections here.
As per the IMDB I found few TV films and a Russian Movie made on the same plot as below :

1. Honemoon with a Stranger (1969) (TV Movie)
2. One of My Wives Is Missing (1976) (TV Movie)
3. Vanishing Act (1986) (TV Movie)
4. Lovushka Dlya Odinokogo Muzhchiny (1990) (Russian)

However I was not able to find any DVD or Link where these movies can be bought or seen. So please do let me know if you have any link for the same as that will be really great.

Thanks once again and waiting for your reply.
Cheers!

but.....sholay and karma may be inspired from seven samurai... bcoz of similarity b/w themes ..

Dear Praveen,

The point here is that both Sholay and Karma were inspired by the same THOUGHT - which was no doubt based on "THE SEVEN SAMURAI". Infact Kurosawa's classic remains the main inspiration behind all such films undeniably all over the world..

But at the same time, the fact remains that this brilliant plot or thought was for the first time incorprated in Hindi Cinema by V. Shantaram and then the rest followed. And that too with a new and different social angle in it without any villian as such.
 
However as far as SHOLAY is concerned it was based on a lot more inspirational sources mentioned in my dedicated post to the topic. (So do read it too)

Cheers!

Well it seems that there are cases of hollywood getting inspired from our very own indian film industry.

I can give you few more examples.Ritwick Ghatak's ajantrik has inspired the english herbie films which came later. Also Mel Gibson's Apocalypto seems to be inspired by Mrinal Sen's Mrigaya.

And F. truffaut's famous film 400 blows has a theme very similar to Ritwick Ghatak's Bari Theke Paliye which came earlier.

Thanks Raunak for your valuable input.

I would sure look into this soon and get back to you.

Cheers! and KEEP VISITING.
