Barbara-Katrina : Same Story?

Barbara-Katrina : Same Story?

Barbara Mori's Spanish film My Brother's Wife releases in India this month with the titles A Beautiful Wife in English and Spanish Beauty in Hindi. The title of Mori's film is similar to Yash Raj Films project and Katrina Kaif-Imran Khan starrer Mere Brother Ki Dulhan.

Same Story ?

While My Brother's Wife has an adulterous theme dealing with the affair of a woman with her husband's brother, the Yash Raj film is a toned down version of the same.

Mere Brother Ki Dulhan

It tells the story of a guy (Imran) falling for his brother's (Ali Zafar) fiance (Katrina). Mere Brother Ki Dulhan is still in production, while the Barbara film releases in India soon.

No Threat

It seems that YRF doesn't consider Barbara's film as a threat to their project. They feel its release won't have any effect on them as the Katrina-Imran film has more of a romantic tone than an adult one.

Same But Different

Even though the basic premise is the same, the treatment would be very different. Does that mean that Kat's film will have songs and dances while Barbara's wont?

Barbara, The Beautiful Wife !

Keeping in mind the similarities between the titles - Mere Brother Ki Dulhan and My Brother's Wife, the distributors have decided to name the Mori film as A Beautiful Wife.
