Hello Sir!

100 Days is more inspired from Lucio Fulci\'s film SETTTE NOTE IN NERO(1977) ( known by \'the psychic\' in USA).

The Psychic is also about a husband and wife.The wife experiences psychic vision that lead her to discover a muder ,her husband may or may not be the culprit.The wife also finds a skeleton in the house......................madhuri dixit also comes through a hidden skeleton in the house.

Although I haven\'t seen the psychic but I think as afr as the basic idea or basic story is concerned,100 Days is more inspired(or copied) from the psychic rather than the eyes of laura mars.

Sir let me know ur opinion on this.

Hi Raj,
I think you have a valid argument here as the desription sutis 100 DAYS more. Therefore now I will have to see Lucio Fulci's SETTTE NOTE IN NERO / PSYCHIC (1977) soon to reach the right conclusion.
Would get back soon on this in the coming weeks for sure.

Thanks for this valuable info and keep writing in.
Cheers!

Hello!

Dulhan Wahi Jo Piya Mann Bhaye was copied from It Started With Eve.

It Started With Eve was remade into I'd Rather Be Rich...which was remade into Hero Hindustani.

P.S. Khel Khel Mein was based on a novel called Good Children Don't Kill
