worst review, best movie i' ve seen in the last 10 months. fullhyd seems to uplift films like dor, but fails to recognise good and catchy themes like okkadunnadu. okkadunnadu is a brilliant attempt by our telugu director and thoroughly engrossing fare, it was. he' s for sure the ace director in tollywood now .
i am not sure whether the hollywood guys have seen our movies while writing the plot but here is a movie which is very similar to a telugu movie called okkadunnadu .
okkadunnadu is a telugu movie, directed by chandrashekhar yelet, starring gopichand, neha julka along with others. here, on the movie page, you will find every thing that you need to know. get the up - to - date news updates of okkadunnadu, as it happens. check out what others are saying about the movie on twitter .
from one of the most underrated directors of south india, chandrashekar yeleti, came one of the most underrated movies, okkadunnadu. the novelty of the concept of “okkadunnadu” failed to reach the audience as it was supposed to. the movie revolves around protagonist with a rare blood group and the ironically, the movie is one of those rare attempts where all the usual norms of indian thrillers were broken. till date, the movie is not even well appreciated even among telugu audience. “okkadunnadu” is a rare cinematic experience and deserves to be watched and recognized .
don’t you think there is void in okkadunnadu due to lack of contribution from gangaraju in the writing department? it is a tricky question. yes. i would have had more creative discussions with him. he would have suggested me better scenes .
people are commenting that music of the film is not up to the standard of keeravani. what do you say? i feel that okkadunnadu music is appealing. i personally liked adugadugu and i say enjoy songs. the masses are liking ‘obbo veedento’ song .
chandrasekhar yeleti seems to be out to prove a point, namely that he too is capable of making a standard masala movie. the question that pops to mind is ,
why ?
that being said, okkadunnadu works pretty well as a run - of - the - mill flick. thanks to yeleti, ... .
five minutes into okkadunnadu, the villain makes his mark (literally) by trying to pull off a henchman' s ear. literally tear it off, in the manner in which one tears off a leg from the rest of the chicken in your biryani. this somewhat funny yet ominous scene should give you an inkling of how the rest of the movie will shape up .
okkadunnadu, undoubtedly my all time favorite telugu film, i' ve seen this film twice in the theater, on the same day and countless number of times on tv and youtube. gopichand is fantastic in the film, his histrionics, body language and performance were of top notch. he excelled in the action episodes. okkadunnadu is not a regular commercial telugu film, entertainment levels are less, but still bramhanandam & giribabu were hilarious at times. the movie sticks to the point and never deviates, the story becomes clear once the actual thread is revealed. there is a reason behind every move that gopichand makes. the dialog' s made lot of sense specially when mahesh manjrekar says
nee gunde dhairyam chavali kaani nee gunde bathakali
clearly reveals the intentions of the villain, and that' s what makes gopichand invincible. chandrasekhar yeleti, who earlier gave aithe & anukokunda oka roju, now comes with another different concept. the direction and the screenplay were great. his direction specially for the ruthless action scenes was awesome. i loved this film to the core, a perfect 10 / 10. thanks to chandrasekhar yeleti, thanks for being in tollywood, thanks for making okkadunnadu... kudos! !
what is the feedback you are getting about this film? i got appreciation from film industry a lot for the film anukokunda oka roju but not many phone calls from the public. i did not get any appreciation from film industry for okkadunnadu, but getting good response from the public and they seem to be liking it. i did not make this film for critical acclaim. i wanted producer to make money .

saturday, march 03, 2007 a complete action film sans the entertainment though the telugu film makers always fall short of good stories, creative directors like chandrasekhar yeleti were able to present a little different from routine subjects and his films like aithe and anukokunda oka roju prove this statement. he prepared a tailor made story for gopichand who had earned a mass image with films like ranam and yagnam. cherry, who had worked as executive producer for some films, has produced through this film. the story had a good action backdrop and a major part of the film was shot in mumbai .
gauthami (neha jhulka) is a real estate agent in mumbai. she brokers deals with the buyers and sellers and gets paid commissionwise. she arranges a deal between gowri shankar (suman) of sri venkateswara bank, hyderabad, and a seth (raghubabu) in mumbai, for the sale of a guest house in mumbai. as per the agreement, there is three months time for registration. however, gowri shankar' s son kiran (gopichand) comes to mumbai and demands the money immediately. though gauthami tries very hard to convince kiran that it may not be possible to complete the deal early, the latter did not listen and want to complete the deal saying that he needed urgently needed money .
on the other hand, there is a mafia don called sonu bhai (mahesh manjrekar), who needs an urgent heart transplantation and looks for a person who has a typical blood group called mumbai group. despite several efforts, the entire mafia gang was not able to get a person with that rare blood group. incidentally, kiran has the same blood group and the goons catch him. however, kiran escapes as he was alerted by the nephew of sonu bhai (rahul dev), who eyed his property. from then on the chase begins between kiran, gauthami and sonu bhai' s men. in fact, kiran' s father gowrishankar who started a private bank suffers losses .
the customers attack the bank on learning about the losses demanding the return of their deposits. in order to recoup from it, he needs urgent deposits from other banks to safeguard the interests of the customers. kiran and gowrishankar approach a finance secretary janakiram (tanikella bharani) in the central government who could influence the rbi and he demands rs 4 crore as bribe. so kiran reaches mumbai to collect the sale proceeds which could be given to him. now, sonu bhai' s friend jayadev (nazar) calls up chandrasekhar and promises rs 200 crore deposit. following a call from his father kiran meets jayadev and sonubhai, who agree to deposit the money but in return wanted kiran' s heart. after a lot of mental struggle, kiran decides to take away the money as sonubhai is threatening the seth against buying his guest house. finally, kiran goes to sonubhai' s hotel and takes away rs 100 crore by thrashing all his goons. he also destroys the lifesaving machine arranged to sonubhai. the film ends with the death of sonubhai and jayadev' s suicide as he could not stop kiran .
plus points the macho man physique of gopichand, his ease in action scenes and histrionics are the major plus point of the film. the choreography of action scenes is another highlight. cinematography by jayakrishna especially in action scenes and the use of digital intermediate technology in action scenes and in a couple of songs was also appealing .
minus points though the villain is said to be a big mafia don who threatens the entire mumbai was portrayed as a puppet. there are several loopholes in the characterization of the villain. an ordinary man thrashing the men of a mafia don and taking away of rs 100 crore looks like a joke. in an attempt to elevate the hero' s image, the director let down the villain' s role in the film. despite a gripping screenplay, the poor portrayal of the villain spoiled the entire film. music by keeravani is just okay. but for the gopichand' s solo song shot abroad, no other song is worth watching. the heroine' s role was also downplayed. there was no scope either for performance nor a good choreography in songs to highlight her glamour .
final remarks: when compared with the earlier films of chandrasekhar yeleti, this film looked a little poor as he looked compromised in certain scenes to boost the image of the hero. the director tried to rewrite the medical science by creating a rare blood group. lack of comedy is another major minus in the film. there is absolutely no comedy track and the 5 - minute comedy bit involving giribabu, brahmanandam is not appealing. it is not known why the director had kept a brother to the heroine and the scene could be totally avoided. it is just an okay film for those who like action films. the film might run well in b, c centres because of its mass appeal with good action scenes. can be recommended to watch once only if you are interested in action films .
cast: gopichand, neha jhulka, mahesh manjrekar, nazar, giribabu, suman, raghubabu, rahul dev, tanikella bharani, brahmanandam, hema, rupa and others .
credits: dialogues - siva cinematography - jayakrishna gummadi music - keeravani editing - mohan - ramarao producer - chiranjeevi (cherry) story, screenplay and direction - chandrasekhar yeleti .

gopichand had earned himself a mass image with films like' yagnam and ranam'. chandrasekhar yeleti, whose earlier films' aithe and anukokunda oka roju' have a tint of difference, came up with a good script, which fits gopichand to the 't' .
cherry who worked as executive producer, ventures into production with this film. the backdrop of the film is perfect for action, and a major part of the film was shot in mumbai .
gautami (neha jhulka) is a real estate agent in mumbai, helps gowri shankar (suman) of hyderabad to sell his guest house in mumbai. as per the agreement there is three months time for registration. however, gowri shankar' s son kiran (gopichand) calls on gautami and demands the money. gautami tries hard to convince kiran, but the latter wants to finalize the deal saying he is in a mess and urgently needed money .
on the other hand, there is a mafia don called sona bhai (mahesh manjrekar), who needs urgent heart transplant and is looking for a person who has a typical blood group called mumbai group. incidentally, kiran is a match and the goons chase him .
however, kiran escapes thanks to the nephew of sonu bhai (rahul dev), who is eyeing his uncle' s property. from then on the audiences are trated to the sights and sounds of mumbai, with the chase sequences between kiran, gautami and sonu bhai' s men .
kiran reveals to gautami that his father started a private bank and filed bankruptcy. in a bid to save his self - respect, he needs urgent deposits from other banks to safeguard the interests of customers. they approach finance secretary janakiram (tanikella bharani) who could influence the rbi, but the latter demands rs 4 crores as bribe .
at this juncture, sonu bhai' s friend jayadev (nazar) calls up chandrasekhar and promises rs 200 crore deposit in his bank. following a call from his father kiran meets jayadev and sonu bhai, who agree to deposit the money but in return demand kiran' s heart. kiran falls in the classic dilemma of his life or his father' s self - respect .
gopichand with his histrionics and action timing is the highlight of the film. the action scenes by allan ameen and ram laxman, keep the audience on the edge of their seats. cinematography by jayakrishna and the use of digital intermediate technology in action sequences and a couple of songs was quite appealing .
chandrasekhar yeleti, a champion of gripping screenplay passes yet again with flying colours. music by keeravani is okay. lack of a separate comedy track can have a negative effect on the film. the director was able to carry the whole film on action and was able to cater to the masses .
credits: dialogues - siva, cinematography - jayakrishna gummadi, editing - mohan - ramarao, music - keeravani, producer - chiranjeevi (cherry), story, screenplay and direction - chandrasekhar yeleti .
there are few young directors in tollywood who have created their own brand with just two films. chandrasekhar yeleti has created his signature style with his earlier films
. unlike them, his third offering is more of a commercial film though he has chosen a rather different subject hitherto unexplored element of a villain hunting for a guy who has' bombay blood group'. based on this theme, the director has a perfect hero in gopichand as the man fighting for vengeance .
is a regular commercial film but shot in eye - catching manner with superb visuals and adrenalin pumping action sequences. in fact, the film largely focuses on these elements, thereby loosing the grip on the content especially in the second half. but the film presents hero gopichand as a new poster boy .
a bankrupted bank owner' s son kiran (gopichand) comes to mumbai to sell off their house. he approaches a real estate agent gowthami (neha julka) to clinch the deal. while he is on that deal, mumbai mafia don sonabhai (mahesh manjrekar) learns that kiran has what he is looking for - a heart with the rare blood group, bombay blood group .
sonabhai has the same group and he suffers from cardiac problem and has to undergo heart transplantation urgently. sonabhai wants kiran' s heart by hook or crook. now it is our hero' s mission to survive himself and also get money as quickly as possible. how would he achieve this forms rest of the film !
the first half is racy and holds the interest with some amazing action scenes. but soon it peters out to an ordinary commercial potboiler as there is not much substance. even the climax is abrupt. lack of entertainment and romance between the lead pair does not go well with the common audiences .
the film is perfect vehicle for gopichand to get new image. he does it with? lan as he looks so urbane in chic dresses and excels in the action sequences. newcomer neha julka is okay. mahesh manjrekar is the real scene stealer. he looks awesome in the villain role. nazar plays villain' s aide while brhamanandam' s comedy is a saving grace .
is brilliant with gummadi jayakrishn' a excellent photography, and editing is slick. mm keeravani' s music is not great but he scores in re - recording. in a nutshell, the film is an average flick which caters to urban audiences .

story gautami (neha julka) is a real estate agent in mumbai. kiran (gopichand) owns a property in mumbai and sells it through gautami. he needs money for an urgent purpose and asks gautami to help him out in getting the money soon instead of the agreed time of six months. sona bhai (mahesh manjrekar) is an influential mafia don in mumbai who needs an urgent heart transplantation. his blood group (bombay blood group) is rare as very few people in india belong to the same blood group. as sona bhai runs out of options, his men desperately search for a healthy man from whom the can get heart for their boss. apparantly kiran also belongs to the same blood group. and the rest of the story is all about the tussle between kiran and sona bhai .
gopichand: kiran role in this film adds a new addition to gopichand‘s arsenal. he changed his dialogue delivery and body language to suit the role of a city - based guy, brought up in sophisticated environment. he looks extremely flexible and comfortable in lethal action sequences .
others: neha julka is adequate as female lead. she looks more beautiful without a bindi (bottu). mahesh manjrekar is good as mafia man suffering from health problems. nassar played a vital role of villain’s close associate. rahul dev is extremely good in a different character. giri babu plays heroine’s father. the comedy bit by brahmanandam in second half deserves special mention .
story - screenplay - direction: story of the film is different. though the storyline is very thin, director chandra sekhar yeleti made sure that there is enough logic behind every move hero makes. he also created the screenplay in such a way that hero has a strong reason behind staying in mumbai though hounded by the villain’s gang. at the same time, goons can’t be ruthless on hero as they want him alive and healthy. that gives hero the power of invincibility. chandra sekhar canned action sequences extremely well, but the romance thread between the lead pair is under developed. one unappealing thing about the narration of the film is that the subject is too serious and the director did not try to mix some humor in narration of the film the way he did for his earlier two films .
other departments: cinematography by jaya krishna gummadi is neat. we definitely expect better music from keeravani for this film. the songs shot in dubai by krishna vamsi offer some relief. dialogues by koratala siva are good. there are some intelligent dialogues in second half like ‘nee gunde dhairyam chavali. kaani gunde bagundali’. artwork by ravindar is realistic (especially heroine’s house set by the bay). fights composed by allen amin, ram lakshman & vijay are first rate. production values by clap entertainment are good .
analysis: first half of the film is neat and it lays very good foundation for the battle between the hero and the villain. second half is filled with series of action sequences which makes it redundant. the way gopichand takes 4 crores from villain is good (it’s more of psychological than physical). the climax of the film appears little abrupt. the plus points of the film are taking of chandra sekhar yeleti and action sequences. the main draw back of the film is lack of relieving entertainment. chandra sekhar made sure in his earlier films (aithe and aor) that however serious the subject is, the narration is in lighter vein with nice humor. that humor is missing in this film. violence is excessive. the fate of the film depends on how family crowds take it .

forrest gump is a 1994 oscar winning movie that changed the hollywood films in lot of ways .
filmmakers from other countries are being inspired from our country regarding the art. but we are not able to represent it on screen well. seeing a poster of' uttama villain', some people said i copied it from a french poster. it is our makeup and they copied it from us. no one understands it .
some people say i copy from hollywood films. actually, they are copying a lot from us. oscar winning film,' forrest gump' was inspired a lot from our' swathi mutyam'. there are many other hollywood films, which were inspired from our films .

bollywood and hollywood are two lowly terms for the global idea of cinema. but one very vital example of an english film borrowing material from indian cinema is this ...
v shantaram' s classics were among the first indian films to make an impact abroad .
both the films are masterpieces in their own ways. the english film came 10 years after the hindi one. both are humane tales of leadership, and moral evolution .
another example, though not hollywood and bollywood, is an english film loosely based on a bengali film. satyajit ray' s (the greatest auteur of indian cinema)' charulata' was remade into' forty shades of blue' .

, thinker, reader, iitian, coder, writer, salsa dancer and a pretty good bluff ...
which gained huge popularity. this was later planned to be made into a movie
which was to be directed by himself and produced by columbia pictures. however this did not materialize (as could be seen in the link) .
there are many articles on the internet which give a lot of insight on this... one of the articles read :
this may be news to many and surely an interesting one. it is said that it was the master film - maker
who was originally responsible for the' friendly alien concept' to be filmed later. he also had a complete outline of a script ready which was based on one of his own short story titled
the famous spielberg movie, “e. t. ” is actually said to be based on the plot penned by the great ray. the outline and the rough script of the idea kept roaming into several production houses in hollywood before it was made as “e. t. ” and there are many detailed stories associated with this. however the fact is not officially accepted .
here the interesting thing is that after many years our own film makers found their inspiration from spielberg' s “e. t. ” for making their “koi mil gaya” (2003) talking about a friendly alien .
or just search “satyajit ray & spielberg” and there are numerous references on the web .
when i seen this question, in a fraction of that second i recalled 2 movies. obviously hindi movie and copied by english movie as stated in question .
so first i checked whether anyone has covered it or not. but to my surprise it is not. (that’s why i got to answer this question. : )
but looking at the plots of both the movies, they are totally same .
a group of people are sent to some strange place as part of their training as agents or something like that (watched a long back! !). there when they start to settle, they start being killed one after the another. a great suspense thriller .
the thing to notice is if you think that this is a hero, he would die next. if you think that this is the villain who is doing these murders, he would die next. (this is not a spoiler! ! so if you want to watch the movie, go ahead. this information will enhance your experience of suspense. )
the biggest thing hollywood copied from the bollywood is the theme music for the movie mission impossible .
this theme music which we remember as the tom cruise music has been exactly note to note copied from the bollywood movie blackmail .
yes exactly copied all the music - right from the siren at the start to the end music .
but if you care to validate then go to youtube and search for the movie blackmail. come to the climax of the movie where the bad guys are trying to capture the actress (rakhi) and the hero is saving her. you will see the same music track of mission impossible
edit: i had no clue regarding the mission impossible television series. sorry. lot of guys have suggested and thus i came to know that the theme music is inspired from the mission impossible television series which was aired from 1966–1973. the film blackmail (1973), clearly has copied this theme from the tv series .
there' s not a hollywood movie i have heard as completely copied or inspired from an indian movie. it' s often vice versa. however there' s this one sequence from kill bill .
it seems tarantino was inspired by the animation sequence in the 2001 tamil film
aalavanthan
( hindi: abhay). the kill bill
o - ren ishii japanese
animation sequence was adapted from that .
apparently tarantino admitted in a private conversation with anurag kashyap that the celebrated animation - action sequence in kill bill was inspired from 2001 tamil film, kamal haasan starrer, aalavanthan .
when contacted, kashyap says, “yes, sight and sound critic naman ramchandran first told me this. so when i met quentin in venice i asked him whether the manga sequence in kill bill was inspired from an indian film and he excitedly remarked, ‘yes, i saw this indian serial - killer film which showed violence as animated. ’”
kashyap explains, “there is only one indian serial - killer film which was made before kill bill where violence was animated, and that was abhay / aalavanthan. ”
kamal haasan, who starred in aalavanthan, has his own take on the compliment. “when i did the animation action sequence 12 years ago it was seen as self - indulgent and odd by a lot of people. now that it has been endorsed by a filmmaker of such brilliance, critics will be kinder to some of the things i attempt in my films. ”
the hollywood movie was heavily critisized for its misleading name as it was based on a love triangle rather than on the incident of pearl harbor itself .
in both the movies, protagonist has a rare blood group type and incidentally meets the villain who has the same blood group type. villain suffers from some disease and needs the blood from the protagonist. so the rest of the movie is whether the villain gets that blood from the protagonist or not !
as per the question and it' s comments goes, plot is something very basic as i have told in three lines above. the movie can be made in various ways. for example using the same plot above
get the gringo
is made completely different as a crime movie inside a prison. the characterizations of the actors can also vary. in the original the protagonist is a very soft spoken guy who comes to mumbai to sell his plot whereas in gtg, mel gibson is a badass character with lot of negative traits .
i have read the comment on the question which basically says some of the answers are wrong here. i am sorry but the question is so loosely asked. you could have asked what are some of the hollywood movies which are remakes of indian movies rather than asking about the plot being copied !
i don' t know much about copying or being inspired by the whole plot, but there' s a telugu movie called' athadu' .
in the movie, the protagonist mahesh babu plays the role of an assassin who is hired to injure a politician in such a way that he gains sympathy from people. but someone else kills the politician and he is framed for it .
that part of the movie was taken in a hollywood movie called' the international' where a politician in shot in the same way in a meeting in brussels .
i believe hollywood doesn' t have time (at least these days) to watch movies of an entirely different language group, that too indian languages, let alone copy them, as most of them are money spinners lifted or inspired from other foreign movies. i bet most hollywood filmmakers have watched satyajit ray' s works at best... that too ends with the apu trilogy for most among them! they have more relevant languages with relevant cultural similarities (such as french, spanish, italian, etc .) at their disposal, if they are intent on' copying' a movie. most indian movies had officially started remaking (and later copying) foreign films from the late 60' s. prior to that, i don' t think indian films had that much foreign exposure (except for satyajit ray' s works). having said that, many instances have been taken inspired, so to speak, from indian movies, but most were limited to' copying' certain scenes and loose plots or subplots. but i can only coin et as a copied movie, based on satyajit ray' s abandoned script ,
the alien
. no matter how much spielberg denies the allegations, there are just to many proofs against him. because of that scandal (and numerous others around that time), hollywood has become sly and wealthy enough to remake movies rather than wasting money on court cases and mutual settlements. i am personally looking forward to the english remake of kahaani and rumored remake of munnabhai mbbs as trendsetters for official hollywood remakes of indian movies. that would inspire more script writers and directors to work with original concepts (and induce confidence among producers to support such projects), rather than following a set of' masala movie' formulas, just to earn money at the box office. only time will tell what' s in store for us !
though not' bollywood', there are a few indian films (which is different from bollywood) which have been adapted to hollywood & american indie cinema (which are also quite different entities). the most significant example is satyajit ray' s script of' the alien' which was usurped by the same studio to whom he submitted it and was converted into spielberg' s' et'. another example, also of ray, was that of' charulata', that was transformed and adapted to a contemporary american context and made into' forty shades of blue' which the director ira sachs has proclaimed is a tribute to the ray film. mira nair is also making a hollywood film based on' munnabhai'. there is an entire 15 minute closing scene in the american film' my family' which is a shot by shot copy of the last scene of ray' s' apur sansar' (the world of apu).
