Baazigar (1993) & A Kiss Before Dying (1993)

Hi Raj Vardhan,
Thanks for the info, but if you have seen A KISS BEFORE DYING then you would be knowing that BAAZIGAR takes a lot from it for sure.
The plot of 'THE BAD SLEEP WELL' is similar only in terms of revenge but A KISS BEFORE DYING has a lot to do in terms of inspiration as written in the article.

But anyway keep writing in with such info as always.
Cheers!

Dear AJ,
The term adaptation is used when a book or source is officially adapted with rights.
Or it is used when you adapt from something which is in Public domain like Shakespeare or Rabindranath Tagore for which rights are not required.

However when a movie is made unofficially taking the content from either a novel or any other film then it is called inspired or copied as per the similarities found in it.

Now in this particular case I don't think anything from 1950 can be considered as Public domain.
Moreover as per IMDB both the films made in 1956 and 1991 are officially adapted from the novel as mentioned on their respective pages having the same title.

Therefore where both the English movies are adaptations, the Hindi one remains a highly inspired movie taking the content unofficially.

Cheers!

Dear AJ,
I am writing that after watching both the films and that should say it all.
Moreover since the credits need to be given where required...... not giving them intentionally hiding it both from the original creator as well as the public is called Copying illegally.

Cheers!
