like "pudhiya paravai" uruvified from "following the crooked shadow"?

if uruvified why does times magazine recognise nayagan?...

if u say inspiration and copying has thin line..."pather panchali" is inspired from a western drama....is sathyajitray a thirudan sorry to say this Vikki. But I think u mistunderstood what "groucho" said. He said there is only minimal difference between getting inspired and copying.

He didn't refer to anyone in particular. He referred to the word "Inspiration " being used by many to hide their copying, I think.

btw, Only Nayagan got recognition in the magazine. Right ? I have nothing against this as long as it enriches tamil cinema.

But anyway mistake is a mistake. Be it inspiration or copying. no selva...there is huge difference between copying and inspiration!

thats why i mentioned that satyajitray example!

see..in cinema everything is inspiration...from real life or from the movies they watch in younger days!

but the way they take is what matters...devar mahan is inspired from godfather....this would explain that there is a huge line between copying and inspiration
