Ramaiya Vastavaiya mixes Salman Khan’s Pyaar Kiya Toh Darna Kya,Maine Pyaar Kiya

Is Salman mania reaching such heights that his films are forming a base for Girish Kumar's launch pad?

The promos of Prabhu Dheva Ramaiya Vastavaiya indicate the film is a mix of Salman Khan starrer Pyaar Kiya Toh Darna Kya and Maine Pyaar Kiya

“If one has a close look at the promo of Ramaiya Vastavaiya,it appears as if the film is a mix of Pyaar Kiya Toh Darna Kya and Maine Pyaar Kiya,both Salman Khan starrers,” says an observer,”The signs are quite visible and one can’t overlook the similarities.”

These similarities come from the fact that just like in Pyaar Kiya Toh Darna Kya Salman sought Arbaaz Khan’s approval in order to win his love Kajol,even Girish is going through the same drill in Ramaiya Vastavaiya.

“Arbaaz and Kajol appear to be replaced by Sonu Sood and Shruti Haasan,that’s about it. Otherwise the core conflict appears to be just the same,” the observer adds.

Moreover just like Maine Pyaar Kiya where Salman Khan works as a daily wages labourer in order to show Bhagyashree’s father Alok Nath that he had it in him to fend on his own despite being born with a silver spoon in his mouth,even Girish is shown to be slogging out in the field despite belonging to a wealthy family.

When contacted,Girish laughed away the similarities though.

“In that sense,Bobby,Raja Hindustani and for that matter even Titanic would be similar since these are stories of ‘rich girl poor boy’ or vice versa,” says Girish,”There have been so many movies made on these lines but they are not said to be similar. See,Ramaiya Vastavaiya is a very character driven and screenplay oriented driven film. Even if the germ may seem same,it is an altogether different film due to characters’ journey and their struggles. We are not influenced at all by the films that you mention.”

Is Salman mania reaching such heights that two his films are forming a base for debutant Girish Kumar’s launch pad?
