Raabta vs Magadheera

Makers of Sushant Singh Rajput and Kriti Sanon starrer 'Raabta' have cited several differences in the script and storyline of their film 'Raabta' and 'Magadheera'.

The lawyers have argued that the background of the lead characters, their storyline development, the role of villain, the foreign locations and most importantly the finale of the film is completely different from 'Magadheera'. They also pointed out that the concerns of the 'Magadheera' makers that the iconic 100 warriors scene has been lifted in 'Raabta' is completely unfounded as there was no such scene either in their film or the trailer.

The lawyers have argued that in their film, unlike 'Magadheera', the villainous character was in fact an anti-hero and a parallel interest point for the heroine. Even in the back story, depicting the past life of characters, the hero of the film actually plays a negative character for most part.

The makers further pointed out the similiarities, even if there were any, were purely on themes that are generic to every film made on reincarnation of two lovers such as 'Prem', 'Hamesha', 'Om Shanti Om', 'Kudrat'. In fact, the makers cited a list of more than 100 films on the theme of reincarnation

When contacted, Ankit Relan, lawyer for T-series confirmed that the injunction application has been reserved for orders. He said "We have filed the entire script of our film along with a comparative chart showing how the two films are completely different in the their story, treatment and expression, something that the Plaintiff ought to have done in the first place as part of his pleadings to show comparative similarities."

'Raabta' is produced and directed by Dinesh Vijan and is slated to release on June 9. Sushant Singh Rajput and Kriti Sanon star in the lead roles.
