Mumbai: After the trailer of Aamir Khan’s upcoming film ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’ was released recently, movie buffs were quick to discover that the film is a ‘frame-by-frame’ copy of English film ‘Champions.’
‘Champions’, incidentally, is a copy of Spanish film ‘Campeones.’
One user commented, “After the Forrest Gump fiasco, he should have stayed away from remakes or adaptations.”
Another posted, “Luckily, Champions is less popular than Forrest Gump, so fewer people may care. But still not a good look.”
“Perfectionist in copying the film frame by frame,” commented another person.
Another post read: “Even that tubelight falling scene and almost every gag is from the original. I was assuming mamu will put some spin on it, but yeh frame-to-frame remake hai. Story 99 percent same lag rahi hai.”
Looks like SZP is a frame-by-frame copy of the Spanish hit Campeones(2023).
