Alag: He Is Different.... He Is Alone...

A very good movie called Powder is copied and completely ripped of by bollywood people and made into a popcorn fest rather than the movie it should av bin. this is what happens if u give a goat your money it'll just eat it.

performance was could have been better and whats always with this Big bad guy trying to do bad things, can't bollywood make a movie without the badguy and flashback story telling , it ruins the whole experience.

Very poor rip off of a good movie. but they will take the credit for the movie as their original script.

At the end where poor acting and a good script is taken and completely badly rewritten bollywood style.

This is not so much of a spoiler as an agreement to the reviewer from the UAE (where I have come back from a holiday), but both in story and style, this movie is an almost direct copy of 1995's POWDER. You could almost have dubbed the original in Hindi for the same effect! Perhaps the only difference is the Bollywood "dance" scene in the middle of it, so aptly parodied in the Simpson's episode when Homer rents the Bolly version of PAINT YOUR WAGON and is shocked when the characters break into a dance halfway through a tense moment.

Anyway, I think it's fairly well known that whenever a movie is made in the USA, Bollywood will copy it later (I hear there is a Bollywood version of THE MATRIX floating around).

But as an enjoyable movie for a long haul flight from Melbourne and Dubai, this one ate up a couple of sudsy, tragi-comic hours.

One of the best content I see ever. And the acting by Akshay Kapoor was Fabulous, In my view he was one of the most underarate actor in bollywood industry.

Remember that movie "Powder" from the 90s? The hairless albino kid with electric powers found after his caregiver died? This is a derivative copy of that movie with some Bollywood flair thrown in. They did try to change it up with the addition of an evil scientist, but the movie was the same. Right down to the weird hat that Powder wore. Props for trying to add a love interest though. Although it is very unlikely that a woman that good looking was single in the first place! Even more unlikely that she falls in love with this guy in less than a couple of weeks! Try harder!

It's like they didn't even try.

Why??? Why do Bollywood directors have to copy Hollywood when they are doing a project which is different from any typical Bollywood film, this movie is just another example of how Bollywood can make a good Hollywood film not only look bad but rip off totally.

I cannot remember ever seeing a Bollywood remake of a Hollywood film and actually make it enjoyable rather than annoying, this movie is just another one to add to the list of unoriginal Bollywood films and another director/writer to add to the list of unoriginality. there are many bad Bollywood films out there but when it comes down to movies like this it really is embarrassing to the industry that they even got the budget to make the movie.

In the industry today there are only two directors which have made Bollywood proud and these two directors are Ashutosh Gowariker and Sanjay Leela Bhansali who are not only great directors but also great writers. The director and writers really need to take notes from these two directors.

Overall I wont really recommend this movie to anyone even though it may have the best special effects for a Bollywood movie.

p.s. I wont be surprised if the director/writers try making there own version of Swades after reading this comment.
