Case Study The 3 Idiots Copyright Controversy “Whither the
Moral Right of Attribution?”

enkatesan brought in the New Year at LAOT by highlighting a copyright
controversy that recently broke out between the makers of India’s most
Ventertaining, yet thoughtful Bollywood flick of 2009 and the author from whose
book the central plot was allegedly lifted; a movie that goes by the name of “3 Idiots”, but
does not have the faintest trace of idiocy in either its script or execution.
Clearly one of the best movies to have been released this year, it demonstrates yet again
that meaningful “message laden” scripts sans any mind numbing dance, song or fight
sequences have a fair shot at tasting box office success! Needless to state, a lot of the success
of this particular movie owed itself to a brilliantly conceptualised storyline and an
amazingly punchy script.
