Read an article on the new movie 'Tum mile'... and realized something very weird... I have been writing an exact same script ... A couple falls in love during a calamity .. in their case its 26/07 Mumbai floods... in my case its 26/11 Mumbai terror Attack. The film, in both cases, revolves on how in this danger to life they realize their love for each other. And the similarities don't stop on the date only... in my story as well as this movie both the girl and boy are ex. They have been in a relationship in the past ... and have broken up due to some reason. And now realize how silly they were.
This happened a few months ago too... although not to a very developed script but the idea was exactly the same. It was for a tv show.. where the whole plot is 'Reality show Big boss goes wrong'. There is a murder in the house... and the show must go on .. coz TRP's are sky high... so how are the participants convinced and how is the crowd fooled... and how is the culprit found.
Lo Behold a month later after we thought of this idea a Show started with the SAME story!!! WHAT THE HELL!!
Made me wonder ... Am i actually thinking of good commercial ideas... which is very good.... or is it that i am thinking of very common ideas that every other writer can think up?!?! WHICH IS BAD
