Bollywood loves plaigarising movies and songs. I remember how they came up with three versions of "Sleeping with the enemy". They also had two terrible copies of "Macarena".
There was this movie "Gupt" where nearly all of the songs were copies. The title track was a direct copy of a track by Deep Forest.
The worst offence was when Anu Malik copied "We will rock you" by Queen for a Salman Khan movie.
Heck, they didn't even spare "Dil Dil Pakistan" and came up with a really bad copy.
There was this singer named Altaf Raja who blatantly ripped off Rahim Shah's "Kabhi Kabhi Gham Tha". The wanker then claimed he had a dream about the song.
"Ashiqui 2" was a direct copy of "A star is born" but then are some ignorant people who thought that the Bradley Cooper was the copy. They have forgotten that the movie has been made four times in 1937, 1954, 1976 and 2018 being the one with Gaga and Cooper.
Sanjay Gupta and Abbas Mustan have copied the most movies without permission. Sanjay Gupta would just watch the DVD of the movie he wanted to plaigarize before he shot a scene. The man copied "Oldboy", "Reservoir Dogs" and so many other movies.
There was a director who copied "My Cousin Vinny" and was sued before he could release his movie. It's been years and that movie has yet to see the light of day.
Hollywood is coming up with a biopic of the great Richard Williams titled "King Richard". It's about how he trained Venus and Serena. Some idiots claim that the movie is a copy of "Dangal". 😒

Canadians are known to be nice and polite but Chris Alexander is a rare exception. I dug around and found some interesting information. [Thread]
Not so long ago , the NSICOP came up with a report indicating foreign interference in Canada, where India was mentioned indirectly nsicop-cpsnr.ca/reports/rp-202…
A Canadian news channel also got their hands on a sensitive Canadian govt memo which stated how Indian intelligence agencies were trying to influence Canadian politicians using money and disinfo. globalnews.ca/news/6823170/c…

I had a look at @KhurramDehwar's thread on the disinformation related to the 71 war and would like to add some more to it.
Days before Pakistan Resolution day, I noticed small networks retweeting the same content. Since the 23rd was coming up, I did not tweet about it as it would distract everyone.
The campaign kept continuing with the hashtag used in the tweets below. You will see an interesting connection here.

Thread: On the 26th of August, a hashtag was reactivated to commemorate Akbar Bugti's death anniversary. I was given a tip that a lot of the users were not Baloch. So, I obtained the data for the entire data and made some interesting discoveries.
There were around 1800+ participants in the trend, with an original tweet count of 10k+ tweets. This does not count the retweets, as that would be redundant.
Imagine my surprise to see that the most active ones were not Pakistani. There were Baloch participants but not as much as the ones next door. Here is a chart for the Top 10 participants in the trend. Ignore "gamesreeder" as it got in the way.

I wonder why our neighbors are busy spreading fake news.
Not a coincidence that GB shared something similar earlier. It's not a coincidence that someone is purposely trying to sow the seeds of chaos. They don't care about Pakistan. It's about causing as much destruction as possible.

I have been analysing trends for years and have seen a lot of interesting stuff. When it comes to certain hashtags, there is always the presence of our neighbors there.
There are many hashtags where I discovered a heavy influx of our neighbors. How did I find out that they were from there? I am not lazy like some people to only depend on the location data. If people knew how to do their work, they would have known where they are from.
Some users don't share their location nor do their names give any clues from where they are. Those handles are not in the mix.

I think I need to go on a vacation next year where I leave all my devices at home. It's the weekend and I am excited about the work I will get to do.
Work challenges are always exciting for me. It gives me the ability to learn more. Most of the time, I finish before the deadline. The only obstacles are hardware issues or power outages.
If I had more resources and quality hardware, the results would be 350 percent better.
