“Yuvraaj” versus “Rainman” & “Sautela Bhai”

After his inspired “Black & White”, Subhash Ghai’s latest offering “Yuvraaj” has a plot similar to Tom Cruise and Dustin Hoffman starrer & Oscar Winner “Rainman”. The only novelty in Salman starrer is the third additional brother as compared to the two in “Rainman”.  It runs on the same storyline where the rich father dies giving everything to his autistic son and now the other brother(s) has to win his heart to survive.

Check out at : http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0095953/    

Interestingly before “Rainman” there was a movie made in our Bollywood on the same plot featuring Guru Dutt. It was “Sautela Bhai” which released in 1962. Here Guru Dutt played the innocent brother and Raaj Kumar played the brother who was deprived of all the riches.

No doubt, it sounds tough but is quite possible that somehow “Sautela Bhai” was the first original one and all the later versions followed it. Having said this, I again remember the masters of Indian Cinema in the Golden Era with high regards.

But the fact still remains, that if you are asked to rate the best one out of all, the answer would be same from all sides and that’s “Rainman”. The movie has the power to make you sit and praise the performance of Dustin Hoffman without any hesitation. He simply wins your heart with his lovable act. In fact after watching “Rainman”, I became his fan and began searching for all the movies featuring him.

“Sautela Bhai” can be rated second, though may be the most original one and “Yuvraaj” comes third with not so impressive interpretation of the story.

(Apart from these, another movie was also there inspired form the “Rainman” syndrome and that was “Hum Dono” starring Rishi Kapoor and Nana Patekar)

V. Shantaram Inspires Hollywood

V. Shantaram is a respected and well known name in Indian Film Industry with many major contributions to Indian Cinema. One of his most famous movies probably inspired Hollywood filmmakers too.

12 convicts are given to an officer to train them as military men. This is the plot forThe Dirty Dozen” a film made in 1967. Sounds very familiar to “Do Ankhen Barah Haath” made by V. Shantaram in 1957 which was exactly on the same subject. So its not always we copying from the west, this time its the other way around.

One argument can be given that Akira Kurosawa’s “Seven Samurai” came in 1954, so it may be the inspiration behind all. May be its possible but in “Do Ankhen Barah Haath” the convicts were not fighting with anyone and were only being transformed to be good citizens. So a fresh new angle was there in the masterpeice which surely inspired the makers of “The Dirty Dozen”.
