We may see that plagiarism has been turning a debatable issue and controversies toward a piece of creative work, inclusive of plagiarism, either help market the work or create a notoriously infamous perception on the piece of art!
As a blogger, we may not orient ourselves towards supporting writers but what we may assume of the Chetan Bhagat - Abhijat Joshi, Rajkumar Hirani and Aamir Khan row is that it may be a gross misunderstanding of terms implied in the agreement made between both the makers of 3 idiots and also Chetan Bhagat.
It seemed all too notorious on the part of Aamir Khan, Rajkumar Hirani and Vidhu Vinod Chopra to blatantly deny the authorship to Chetan Bhagat and claim it as a different story from the original Five Point Someone.
Definitions go that an author is the one who creates the original work, the spark, or the idea and any manipulation of the original might be termed Adaptation or when done without permission from the author, plagiarism. Also when the writer is not given due credit.
If the 3 idiots is not the story as in Five Point Someone, then why use certain elements of the Five Point Someone at all? Why make a story with the original idea of Five Point Someone, as both readers of Five Point Someone and the audience of the 3 idiots are aware.
How come authorship is denied to the right levels to Chetan Bhagat, when they have placed his name on the rolling credits as in the agreement? The definition of Ghost Writing goes like this, a ghostwriter is one who writes on the idea or inputs of someone else's original idea. Hence, in this case, Abhijat Joshi may be called the Ghostwriter of Five Point Someone's screen version.
The original idea, however, determines who the author of the story is than a writer who adapts it for the Screens. But, it has gone so grim to a place where both Chetan Bhagat and the makers of 3 idiots have gone about throwing blatant comments at each other.
Definitions on authorship deny authorship to any manipulation of the original idea or work and as popular culture goes, any manipulation of the original is a mere adaptation. Let Rajkumar Hirani, Vidhu Vinod Chopra and Aamir Khan contest the film in the Oscars for best screenplay and ask them if they would contest the film on "Best Original Screenplay? or Best Adapted Screenplay?"
An answer to that question would be rightly justifying their statements! I say this knowing fully that the film, even if it may, contest the Oscars in the Best Foreign Language Film category!
It also looks at the same time that the Chetan Bhagat 3 idiots controversy makes more news than the film 3 idiots itself and hence, this might be intended for publicity. But the ultimate answer to this controversy and the judgement on the same might be better left to the people who have both seen the 3 idiots as well as read the Five Point Someone!
And as readers of the Five Point Someone and audiences of the 3 idiot, you can guess if the film is based mostly on the book or not!
