You thought it couldn't happen, but it really can and it
really does. We present both Dirty Dancing films (but
NOT Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights)
side-by-side on two screens each.
You all know the original. Here's the description of its Bollywood
cousin:
Holiday
(2006), Director: Pooja Bhatt
"Dirty Dancing"
blatantly stolen nearly shot for shot. The story begins with the
family of Dr. Daksh Suri arriving in Goa for a month-long vacation.
Accompanying Dr. Suri are his wife and two daughters, the extroverted
Samara and shy, bookish Muskaan. Muskaan befriends a group of
dancers who perform risqué and exotic routines to Salsa
music (the song exposing the girl to such forbidden pleasures
is aptly titled, "The Sound of the Future.") at the
hotel’s discotheque. One among them is pregnant, and Muskaan—always
eager to make things work out for the best—boldly decides
to step in as her replacement when she goes for her abortion.
Completely clueless when it comes to the dance, rugged and rebellious
Dino steps in to train her, and in the process helps her overcome
her fears. And in case you didn’t guess, they also fall
in love. "Move with my Body," another ridiculously sultry
R&B breakdown is performed against a Che Guevara backdrop.
Onjolee Nair as the awkward Muskaan even looks something like
Jennifer Grey. Not to be believed!"
