The famous 'water-tank suicide' sequence in SHOLAY and its possible inspirations. (Did You Know - 70)

Md. Ezaz,
Your thoughts are right only partially bro,
Cause at the same time we still have much original work being offered in the Industry itself.

But yes getting inspired and copying is much easier then creating some original content.

Cheers!

Dear Mohsin,
Any creation becomes or is called an EPIC mainly due to the achievement it makes, the hearts it wins and the cult status it maintains after it is presented before the public as a final product.
And once it achieves all this its called an EPIC and then nobody cares from where its basic inspiration came from.

In other words, any maker does not and cannot make an EPIC himself, but its the end user, ie the public which turns the product into an EPIC.
So one might have got a great film made and lying in the cans for years, but it will be called an EPIC only after it is presented before the public for whom it was actually made and they give it a thumbs up, wholeheartedly

Plus there are two kind of EPIC movies,
One which make a fabulous impact at the box office on their release only like SHOLAY (after the initial hiccups)
and
Two the films which actually were flops, but later achieved a status of an epic in the coming decades like MERA NAAM JOKER, KAAGAZ KE PHOOL and more.

I hope I was able to make it clear.

Cheers!
