friends, the movie miracle worker is based on true events of blind girl helen keller and her mentor Annie Sullivan.. true story.. i have not seen either of the films so i am not going to predict anything but artists often borrow materials and get "inspired" from a source.. sergio leone once got inspired by kurusawa's yojimbo and made fist full of dollars.. mr. leone was not a chor.. many movies have been inspirational to others... now again, i have not seen the films but before rushing to judgement i would give bansali some space.. by the way he also remade devdas which was origianally made from a book.. the the original film maker copied the author.. bansali le original ko choryo??? i know many who steal and yet make an inferiror product.. as long as bansali makes good films, i couldn't care less if he borrowed or usle choryo.. once again, mr.bansali is one of the better indian director with films such as khamosi, hum dil de.... and so on. i don't think it is appropriate to lable him as a "chor" unless he is for real a "chor."
