But, recent Indian movie makers are imitating Hollywood or other foreign movies,to a great extent. Many foreign movies are remade into Indian languages. They also copies techniques and story treatments, which they come across in foreign movies.

Creative movie makers like Mani Ratnam and Balu Mahendra add their own bit of originilality in their movies. Those who lack creativity will make the carbon copies of others' movies. If you have creativity there's no need to make movies from others creative property.

True.. But these days many of them are missing creativity. They just copy paste same thing with different cast.. lol

The entire cinema scenario is brimming with "CopyCats,"

True.. Not only at international level.. I have seen Bollywood copying south movies. They do copy hit movies. But they copy past exactly what south movies got. That's really irritating because south movies are now popular and their hindi version already cast on TV on some channels. So watching another version of it is like boring.

That's the problem with movies sans originality.

I wonder what is the problem. Guess they are out of ideas. lol. Only few movies get originality these days.

Again it confirms that there is a striking absence of "Creativity". Had creativity is there in our film makers, there would have been an avalanche of quality movies. In the past, Legends like Bimal Roy , Mehboob khan, K. Asif used to vie with each other for producing Quality cinemas.

Some people have always the craze for ready-made items, whether it is food or film. They know that the time is too valuable and the pain of creation is too intense to withstand.

Creativity comes with a price tag. It demands sacrifices.If one is not willing to shed sweat and not willing to sacrifice, the best place for them is a Dustbin. They remain as non-entities all along their lives.

Yup that need time and hard work. And that thing people don't want to do. That's why they always used to find short cuts.

If people do not want to toil, we will land in neck deep Mediocrity. As we are seeing now.
