Hi Sir!
Kundan Shah\'s \'Hum Toh Mohabbat Karega\' starring Karisma Kapoor and Bobby Deol was inspired/copied from Sigourney Weaver and William Hurt\'s movie \'Eyewitness\' which was released in 1981

Hello Sir!
Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam was based on a bengali novel called Na Hanyate by Maitreyi Devi and a 1943 german film called Immensee.

I think Sanjay Leela Bhansali is the most overrated director of Indian cinema.He hasn\'t made a single film on an original idea...right from Khamoshi to Bajirao Mastani.And he is such an arrogant person that he doesn\'t even give credit to original films and talks arrogantly and over confidently like he is in the leauge of Late Satyajit Ray or David Lean.

Hello Raj Vardhan,
Actually I am not aware of any official declaration of the film to be inspired from the novel by Maitreyi Devi and cant say if its close to 1943 German film called Immensee (as mentioned in Wikepedia) coz haven't seen it.

Regarding Sanjay Leela Bhansali, he is a director with an Eye (Visuals), Ear (Music) and Emotions (Performances), that have worked for him always making films on all borrowed themes and sequences. For Bajiro he has duly given the credit to the book and its writer but he is certainly not anywhere close to the legends you have mentioned.

However regarding the inspiration from Maiteryi Devi there is a French film of 1988 titled The Bengali Night featuring Supriya Pathak and Huge Grant that also is supposed to have the same theme. So I would let you know once I get to see it in the coming weeks.

Do Keep Visiting and Writing in,
Cheers!

Hello!
I didn't have any idea that Humraaz (2002) had traces of Balckmail (1973) too.
Akshaye's plan to get Amisha married to Bobby Deol for his money was taken from Blackmail.

I only read the 1st 4 lines of the story at IMDB and now I am going to see Blackmail on YouTube..if it's there
