Tollywood Survives on Piracy???

Most of our Indian filmmakers don't mind to copy the content from foreign movies. Right from Bollywood to South cinema, more than sixty percent films are either rip offs or partly inspired movies. Of late film people started to explore foreign films other than Hollywood movies and the results are already seen.

Three among the last four notable releases of Tollywood were inspired/copied/sourced from a foreign film. Dookudu's basic plot of son creating a fantasy world to keep his father's health in good condition is lifted from a German film Goodbye Lenin. NTR Jr starrer Oosaravelli too is copied from a Cantonese film Vengeance.

The recent release Pilla Zamindar is inspired from South Korean movie A Millionaire's First Love. Although all these films were copied/sourced from international movies, the directors ably adopted them to suit our audience tastes. Also none of these are blatant copies or complete rip offs of the original movies.
