The remake trend in Hollywood traces back to the 1990s, with notable instances like “Pearl Harbor.” Criticised for its misleading title, the film diverged from historical accuracy to focus on a romantic love triangle. Interestingly, the similarities between “Pearl Harbour” and the Bollywood classic “Sangam” are striking.
Both narratives revolve around a love triangle involving two best friends and a girl, set against the backdrop of pilots and planes. The key distinction lies in “Sangam,” where only one friend is a pilot, while “Pearl Harbour” features both friends as pilots. This cinematic parallel underscores the enduring influence and adaptation of storytelling themes across different cultural landscapes.
