Just yesterday, Jennifer Winget’s new show, Bepannah
premiered on Colors TV and now, here’s some interesting dope on the show.
It’s not an unusual phenomenon in our industry to see
films or serials ‘loosely based’ many a times on Hollywood films or
series.
Interestingly, Bepannah is a fresh flower blossoming in
the (as they like to call it) ‘inspired by’ bouquet.
A Still From Bepannah
SpotboyE.com has it that the theme of Jennifer Winget’s
Bepannah bears an uncanny resemblance to the plot of 1999 romantic drama, Random
Hearts starring Harrison Ford & Kristin
Scott Thomas.
The story of the Hollywood
film is about a police officer and a congresswoman who discover that their
spouses were having an affair prior to being killed in an air disaster.

Similarly, Bepannah is about
two people (Jennifer Winget as Zoya & Harshad Chopda as Aditya Hooda) whose
spouses (Sehban Azim as Yash Arora & Namita Dubey as Puja
Hooda) are cheating on them and are dating each other. Their better halves lose
their lives in an accident while they were together.
A Still From Random Hearts
The plot is almost similar
but we’re sure the twists and turns in the show will be introduced keeping
Indian Television viewers’ taste in mind and might be different from the film
eventually. While the Hollywood film has a political background to it, we
wonder what path Bepannah will take.
A Still From Random Hearts
But for those who have
seen Random Hearts, will know how the serial is ‘inspired’ by it and those who
haven’t can always go and watch the film to decide how similar the plots are.
