From storylines to movie posters, our entertainment industry has copied it all. Here&#8217;s a fun list of Bollywood films that drew inspiration from its international counterpart while designing movie posters:<\/p>\n<div style=\"max-width: 640px; width: 100%; overflow: hidden; position: relative;\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"ed-img\" title=\"femina\" src=\"http:\/\/www.femina.in\/media\/content\/2016\/Jun\/temp_1465483692.jpg\" alt=\"femina\" \/><\/div>\n<p><strong>Dishoom = Due Date<\/strong><br \/>The poster of the Varun Dhavn and John Abraham starrer Dishoom seems to have been inspired from Hollywood film Due Date. Its trailer, however, doesn&#8217;t strike a common note with the film, starring Robert Downey Jr. and Zach Galifianakis. <\/p>\n<p><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<div style=\"max-width: 640px; width: 100%; overflow: hidden; position: relative;\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"ed-img\" title=\"femina\" src=\"http:\/\/www.femina.in\/media\/content\/2016\/Jun\/temp_1465483733.jpg\" alt=\"femina\" \/><\/div>\n<p><strong>Phantom = Homefront<\/strong><br \/>The first poster of the film starring Katrina Kaif and Saif Ali Khan, Phantom, was spine-chilling. However, its eerie resemblance to Homefront&#8217;s poster was hard to ignore. <\/p>\n<p><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"max-width: 640px; width: 100%; overflow: hidden; position: relative;\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"ed-img\" title=\"femina\" src=\"http:\/\/www.femina.in\/media\/content\/2016\/Jun\/temp_1465483770.jpg\" alt=\"femina\" \/><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Badlapur = Inception<\/strong><br \/>The poster for Badlapur, starring Varun Dhavn, pictured a top-shot of the Badlapur station and the railway tracks, indicating that the film is set in a specific part of Mumbai. We feel this shot was perhaps inspired by a similar poster for the film Inception. What do you think?<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"max-width: 640px; width: 100%; overflow: hidden; position: relative;\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"ed-img\" title=\"femina\" src=\"http:\/\/www.femina.in\/media\/content\/2016\/Jun\/temp_1465483818.jpg\" alt=\"femina\" \/><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Creature 3D = Jeepers Creepers<\/strong><br \/>Remember that movie that Bipasha Basu acted in? No, not Alone, the other one. Vikram Bhatt&#8217;s Creatures 3D&#8217;s resemblance to the 2001 Hollywood movie Jeepers Creepers was unmistakable&mdash;and incredibly spooky.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"max-width: 640px; width: 100%; overflow: hidden; position: relative;\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"ed-img\" title=\"femina\" src=\"http:\/\/www.femina.in\/media\/content\/2016\/Jun\/temp_1465483854.jpg\" alt=\"femina\" \/><\/div>\n<p><strong>Ra.One &#8212; Batman Begins<\/strong><br \/>While some feel Shah Rukh Khan&#8217;s Ra.One was inspired by the Hollywood film Tron, its poster resembled the one designed for Batman Begins. On a side note, we think SRK looked even better than Batman.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hollywood has been the inspiration for Bollywood for the longest time.
