Nothing in Bollywood is original, rants exasperated producer Subhash Ghai when asked if Hello Darling is inspired
by the H-Town film
The promos of Hello Darling were released last week, and it now appears that the film is a lot like the Dolly Parton-
starrer Nine to Five (1980).
The H-town flick starred Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin and Dolly as female employees who are treated as sex objects by
their chauvinist boss played by Dabney Coleman.
Fed up, they find a way to turn the tables on him.
Similarly, Hello Darling producer Mukta Arts' official release states, "It is a story of three beautiful women teaming up
to take on their womanising boss in a hilarious series of events which in the end, prove that Women Will Rule!"
Jaaved Jaaffrey plays the lusty boss of three fashion designers, played by Celina Jaitly, Eesha Koppikhar and Gul
Panag.
Subhash Ghai, chairman, Mukta Arts, said, "Hello Darling has been inspired not just from Nine To Five but also from
several Hollywood films."
He added, "There's not one film in Bollywood that hasn't been inspired by another fim."
