This ones dedicated in the fond memory of all those who blatantly ripped off scenes and concepts frm FRIENDS and thot they were making thr movies cooler by doing so...As if none frm India watched, and still watches, FRIENDS....
2. The next one on the list is another shameless xerox...The introduction scene of Vatsal Seth in the recently released Heroes, which itself again is an 'inspired' version of Motorcycle Diaries...The scene bears uncanny resemblance to The One With All The Resolutions whr Ross's leather pants create a typically "Ross" situation :D
4. Now this ones not really a rip-off...lets call it an inspiration...Akshay Kumar's nerdy look in college in the Broadway-musical inspired Jaaneman is inspired frm Ross Geller's college look...thrs more similarities thn differences betn the two...but ths i gues can b described as a case of genuine inspiration rathr thn plagiarism....
So thats that ladies and gentlemen! :) Do let me know in case u come across any more cases of FRIENDS being copied around and i'll be happy to add to this notorious list :)
Note: This post is strictly original and any copies of this would amount to plagiarism and catapult the culprit into the elite league above :D
P.S. : I apologise for the poor quality of some of the movie scenes...they r screenshots taken frm youtube videos. On the othr hand, all FRIENDS clips r frm HD videos i have with me, hence the quality difference...
1. On top of my list here is the climax scene frm the no-brainer Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya, which itself was a copy of the Hollywood vintage comedy Cactus Flower. The scene whr Sushmita gets a call which prompts fellow passenger Arbaaz to proclaim somethings wrong with the plane is such a frame-by-frame copy of FRIENDS 1oth season (and hence, series) finale tht i dont even want to say anythng els...The movie was a turkey, and did pretty good business in India, as most turkeys do!

3. Preity Zinta's pregnancy in the unbearable unintended horror Salaam Namaste is so much like Rachel's whn she's gonna have Emma, tht u mit actually mistake one for the othr if u happen to catch a fleeting glimpse of either on tv....but wait for just a sec and u'll know which is which...while FRIENDS maintains humor in just the perfect vein, Salaam Namaste goes way over the top making the scene extremely puerile and juvenile...
