Posters Bollywood stole from elsewhere

Pics :  Why is Bollywood short of original ideas

When will Bollywood get original. Once again its habit of lifting ideas from great western classicals has come to the fore. The provocation here is the PK poster which is 'inspired' by athe cover of a Portuguese album. We bring to you a list of posters which Bollywood has dared to lift directly. One just wishes that some day Bollywood also inspires the western world.PK - Aamir Khan may have been slapped with a court case post the nude poster of his upcoming film 'PK' came out but the perfectionist and his film has been embroiled in yet another controversy. Yes, the poster of Aamir Khan's 'PK' has raised eyebrows and not just for the obvious reasons. The film's poster bears an uncanny resemblance to a poster of an album cover of a Portuguese musician named Quim Barreiros. The 'PK' poster has Aamir posing with nothing but an old transistor covering his bare essentials. The old album cover that was released way back in 1973 has Quim holding nothing but a musical instrument to hide his naked body.
