After Kunder’s Kriti started garnering plaudits on social media, Nepali filmmaker Aneel Neupane accused him of practically stealing the plot of his movie Bob. Incidentally, YouTube removed Kriti on Monday itself, triggering Aneel to cherish his victory.
Kunder’s wife Farah Khan is “sad” and has expressed anger over the issue. “Any Tom, Dick and Harry cannot just cry foul and take away someone’s hard work,” Midday quoted Khan as saying. She also said, “Kriti is a psycho thriller, and there is almost always a psychiatrist in films of this genre, so you can’t say it was copied from another movie”.
Kriti, an 18-minute short film, was released online on June 22. The film is getting rave responses from members of the film fraternity and critics a like. Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal also appreciated Kunder for it.
