The victory of “Parasite” at the 92nd Academy award ceremony is one of the biggest moment in the history of cinema. The movie which revolves around a four members family trying to own a luxurious house talked about the poverty in the South Korean region. Infact, the idea of the film is universal which can be connected by any one in the world.

The main themes of Parasite are class conflict and social inequality. Film critics and Bong Joon-ho himself have considered the film as a reflection of modern capitalism. The similarity between “Minsara Kanna” directed by K.S Ravikumar and “Parasite” is the members of the poor family getting employed to a rich family without introducing themselves as a family. The Tamil film which was released in the year 1999 became a box office dud during its release time.

Would be fun if Korea starts suing Indian film industry over ‘inspired’ songs & films over the years…that awful hindi remake of oldboy should be a crime!

Sir, Indian movies have been borrowing a lot of things from Korean Cinema. What would happen if they retaliate?
