बर्फी! (Barfi!)

A plagiarism claim. After release, side-by-side videos showed scenes of Barfi! closely matching The Notebook; Anurag Basu called them inspirations, not copies.

A plagiarism claim. Viewers matched Barfi!'s lamp-post routine and other set pieces to Singin' in the Rain; Basu described his silent-comedy scenes as homage.

A critics' reading. Barfi!'s whimsical tone and accordion-led score were widely compared to Amélie's.
