Just like how several film industries find themselves looking West for some creative inspiration, the Tollywood industry is also known to imitate Hollywood with little creativity. The industry has often been criticised for ripping off the central theme or even the entire plot of some international films. While some like to call it an "inspiration," others call it blatant plagiarism. As there is no risk of plagiarism charges, Tollywood filmmakers often rip off Hollywood flicks and add a few necessary changes to make it their own.
