Five is greater than three :D

Five is greater than three , you think the title is weird??.In my Yesterday's post i was talking about "3 idiots" , one of my favourite movies[of all time :)].You people must have heard about the controversy around the movie and the book called "Five point someone" by "Chetan Bhagat" its my favourite book too :D. Before starting i want to say both the movie and book is great and awesome.My personal opinion is Chetan has been cheated because i read the book before watching the movie like most of us ;), so i felt that he is cheated but i didn't say that the director copied it absolutely he changed many things like Ryan marries Neha[names are specified as in the book]and not Hari :P and the way the movie starts , two friends searching for their lost friend and Neha has a sister and things like Ryan tops where as in book he is also a five pointer and Ryan changing Neha's Mind from marrying Suhas[Character creted in film only]and the astronauts pen which Cherian gives to Ryan and the main difference is that Ryan is not Ryan [:P] and the person switching stuff with his landlord.




Resemblance:I have said many differences now its the time to show the places where it is a replica of FPS .
1.There are exactly 3 friends.
2.They meet during the ragging.
3.Alok divides in between.
4.Alok's family background.
5.Alok diving from the building.
6.Dialogues in Alok's home like"We decided to leave his mother and concentrate on the food"When Alok walks out of the home.
7.Finally the whole plot is stolen from FPS
These are just a little of what has been taken from FPS and still there is lot more I 'm not blaming the Director of the movie but sharing my view.


And what i read in wikipedia is as follows :D
A controversy developed a few days after the release, however, over the fact that Chetan's credit, "Based on the novel Five Point Someone by Chetan Bhagat" appeared in the closing credits rather than in the opening ones. At that time, Bhagat stated that he "was expecting an opening credit and I was quite surprised on not seeing it. They had bought the rights, made the payment and committed to a credit in the contract. It’s there, but it’s not about it being there, it’s about the placement and the prominence." In a 31 December 2009 blog post on his personal website, Bhagat stated that he was told the movie was only 2-5% based on the book, but when he saw it, he felt that it was 70% of the book. He also argued that he was misled by the makers of the film, though he noted, that "this has nothing to do with Mr. Aamir Khan . I am a big fan of Aamir and he has made my story reach people. However, he was told by the makers not to read the book, and he hasn’t. Thus, he cannot comment on the issue in a meaningful manner."
A few people responded to Chetan's statements. According to the Indo-Asian News Service (IANS), during a press conference with reporters producer Vidhu Vinod Chopra "clarified that in the agreement between the producer and Bhagat, it was clearly mentioned that the author’s name would be put in the closing credits." IANS also reported that Chopra "lost his cool" and "asked a reporter to shut up after being questioned whether his hit 3 Idiots was lifted from author Chetan Bhagat’s book Five Point Someone." Chopra later apologized, stating: "I really think I’m silly. I was provoked, but I shouldn't have done this. I saw myself on TV and saw how I was shouting ‘shut up, shut up’ like an animal. I told myself — ‘what nonsensical behaviour’." Aamir Khan also responded to these claims.Rajkumar Hirani stated that "We have officially bought the rights for the film. We drew a contract with him and it clearly mentions about the position of his credit. With open eyes he had seen the contract, consulted his lawyer and signed the agreement. In the contract, we have said that the title would be given in the rolling credits. We haven't changed the font size. We haven't increased the speed of the title. It's exactly there where it was agreed to be." Legal documents concerning the relationship between Bhagat and the filmmakers have been added to the Vinod Chopra Productions website as well.


Bottomline:Aal izz well.........
