Originality has seldom been Bollywood's forte. So it doesn't come as a surprise to learn that the concept of Vinod Pande's forthcoming film ‘Red Swastik’, starring Sherlyn Chopra in the lead, bears an uncanny resemblance to one of
The storylines are simple – A girl is brutally attacked by a group of boys. She manages to survive. What follows are acts of revenge. She cleanses with blood! Not only the storylines, but even the poster designs are identical – with the barely clad girl steadfastly holding a knife to kill. Its time Bollywood starts being original.
When lead actress of ‘Red Swastik’ was asked, she replied, “In today's times, even originality is undetected plagiarism. Most films are a reflection of life. Maybe we have to improve life before we can hope to improve our films.”

Copy from one, it's plagiarism; copy from two, it's research."
