Slumdog Millionaire and Wolverine:Same story line pretty much

Most people don't agree with the statement above. I know, it doesn't seem to be right, but in reality if we observe closely we can find it. For those who have not seen either of these movies and care to watch them, I will suggest them to watch them first and then read the analysis.

Lets begin form the beginning. So, Slumdog Millionaire is tale of two orphaned brothers and how their relationship changed with the course of life based on making personal choices. Now, coming back to Wolverine it sounds kind of similar, but I will explain it how. Two brothers (I know they are not really, but it is pretty much depicted this way) with similar kinds of super powers that have rough childhoods. Then, as they grow older, they drift apart because of the choices they make.

Lets take much closer look: Logan and Victor have super powers and this makes on of them different form others however one embraces the fact and go do the right thing other become bad and vicious. Jamal Malik and Salim are poor brothers in the slums of Mumbai, India. As the grow older, Jamal becomes nice and hard working, while Salim becomes a gangster.

Now we are coming to the part which also make both the movies' story lines similar-the love triangle as we speak. So Victor, a.k.a. Sabretooth, takes away Kayla (Logan's lover)whichthen motivates him to go out and look for Victor so that he can take revenge. So, becuase of this the whole deal , where Logan get injected with Adamantium(alloy) , happens. The main thing which makes wolverine who he is. Now lets compare with Slumdog. Salim rapes and takes Latika away from Jamal. Now Jamal wants to find Salim so that he can find Latika and that is why he tries to go on the game show. I know they are depicted differently but I have to say similarity is there.

Lastly, Victor defends Logan against Deadpool, and similarly Salim protects and helps Latika to escape which in turn helps his brother.

Don't get me wrong I like both movies. They are very well made, directed and above all very successful-which I appreciate. But it looks like it this might be a great formula for Hollywood now to create blockbusters.
