Reddit Post Shows Marvel's Shang-Chi Copied A Scene From Bajirao Mastani And We're Bowled Over

We have heard of Bollywood copying from Hollywood on several occasions, however, this was something that took social media by storm. On Reddit, a user showed how a scene from Marvel's Shang-Chi (released in 2021) is an exact replica of Ranveer Singh-starrer scene in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Bajirao Mastani (released in 2015).

Everyone who has watched it is bowled over.

How did people react to Shang-Chi copying a scene from Bajirao Mastani? Here are some of the comments.

"This is a blatant copy but yet no one would have issues since it's HW taking from BW."

"It is a standard Wuxia genre thematic shot. Hero being a very good example. Both bollywood and hollywood used it to show power of their superheroes."

"Ummm, there was a lot of criticism of a couple of scenes in Barfi copying iconic Hollywood scenes, especially the dummy on the couch scene from ¡°Singing In The Rain¡±. Films regularly copy earlier films as do TV shows. It just happens. "

"They took revenge for all the scenes we copied"

"Cause it has been seen a lot of times in Chinese movies waaaay before bajirao mastani"

"When Flying Jatt copied X Men: First Class,it was butchered by everyone. Now no one bats an eye when this happens."

"isnt shang chi's more believable? like bajirao is a human but in shang chi, the rings are magical. they made a force field kind of thing, but with ropes/swords, that was completely illogical. Though super cool".

"Bro it is hundred percent copy because bajirao mastani is internationally recognized movie. If you check out any song of this movie or in general any SLB's songs comment section is owned by foriegners and many stars like grimes and elon musk also posted about this movie."

"Went from copying hollywood to hollywood copying us, we all grew up"

From music to movie plots, Bollywood has often copied Hollywood calling it inspiration. But do know Hollywood has also taken inspiration from Bollywood many times?

For instance, Yash Chopra's 1993 released film Darr starring Shah Rukh, Sunny Deol and Juhi Chawla was copied by Hollywood. The movie was titled Fear that was released in 1996. It starred Mark Wahlberg, Reese Witherspoon and William Petersen.

Even Hollywood movie Delivery Man (2013) is a copy of a Bollywood film Vicky Donor.

Imtiaz Ali's Jab We Met was also remade in Hollywood as Leap Year (2010).

Ben Kingsley's A Common Man was also a copy of Neeraj Pandey's most appreciated film A Wednesday starring Naseeruddin Shah and Anupam Kher.
