nuvvu naaku nachchav comedy scene is a direct copy from "Meet the parents"

I just saw one of the comedy scenes of Robert De Niro and Ben Stiller starrer, "meet the parents" released in the year, 2000.
The scene is how Ben prays to god on the dining table and how De Niro reads a poem about his mother.
Now the sad part is this scene is just copied in our telugu movie, "nuvvu naaku nachchav", starring venkatesh and aarti agarwal; directed by k.vijay bhaskar released in 2001.
the complete comedy scene is just a word to word translation from english to telugu.

This telugu movie was one of the highest grossers and became a huge hit due to the comedy in the movie and the director vijay bhaskar became very popular. Till now I wasn't aware that this has a copied scene and now I lost all the respect for Mr. vijay bhaskar.
Our telugu movie makers are proving the same thing again and again that they are the best at copying.

we saw 4 little mini guppies in our fish tank day before yesterday.
i guess our female guppy started delivering babies on wednesday.
now the males are continuously harassing the female and hence I separated the males and put them in a bucket.

anyhow its delivery time in my house now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I cleared my MCTS 70-432 exam

After 8 years of experience on SQL Server I've attended Microsoft Certification exam today and cleared it.

So now I am a Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist in SQL Server 2008.

My next levels which I may attempt are:

70-457 - Transition MCTS to MCSA SQL Server 2012 Part 1

70-458  - Transition MCTS to MCSA SQL Server 2012 Part2

The next question is - Is 206 AUD worth for each certification?
I might give them a go later.

plagiarism at its best - chandramukhi's original(manichitrathazhu) is a copy of Kudrat (chetan anand's classic)

Its sad that many of our indian movies are remakes of some other movies in different languages.
What saddens me most is when our own indian movies plagiarize our own movies of a different language.
This was what happened with the great Malayalam movie, Manichitrathazhu (shobhana, mohan lal, suresh gopi; written by Madhu Muttam and directed by Fazil and released in 1994


This movie was later remade into "chandramukhi" starring rajani kanth, prabhu and jyothika which was a huge success.


The fact is that the original version of Manichitrathazhu is a copy of the Hindi classic called "Kudrat" written and directed by the master director, Chetan Anand; rajesh khanna, hema malini and vinod khanna are the actors in this movie. this was released in 1981.


I just watched Kudrat and the performances by rajesh khanna and others are too good and by the time the interval is over I came to know that this is similar to Chandramukhi.
In fact hema malini's character name in the movie is Chandramukhi.

I am not sure if the original writer, Madhu Muttam gave credit to our great Chetan Anand or he just copied the story and made crores. 
Anyhow I wanted to highlight this to the people to know that Chandramukhi's original is not a master piece but infact a copy of Chetan Anand's classic.
