Is Aitraaz based on Disclosure?

Aitraaz is the new thriller from the stables of Abbas-Mustan. The director due have given us hits like Baazigar, Khilaadi etc. It’s no hidden fact that they lift the subject of several Hollywood flicks to make their film. But that works for Bollywood. Everyone lifts themes. What’s special about this duo is that they know how to blend the Hollywood theme into a pot-puri that works for Indians.

So, people won’t be surprised if told that Aitraaz is a rip-off or inspired by ‘Disclosure’.

‘Disclosure’ is a film starring ‘Michael Douglas’ and ‘Demi Moore’ was based on sexual harassment in office, but here it is the man who is harassed by his new female boss. A high-flying executive, Meredith (Demi Moore), is out to ruin her former lover Tom (Douglas), who she’s just beaten to the top job in an electronics company, using every trick in the book.

Now in Aitraaz we see Priyanka donning the role once immortalized by Demi. She plays Akshay Kumar’s ex-lover in the film that comes out to destroy him. Her grudge! Well she can get everything in her life but lost Akshay and she can’t bear to see that he is happily married to Kareena Kapoor.

So Priyanka decides to destroy him. She returns into Akshay’s life after many years as his superior. Then she tries to seduce him when he refuses she threatens him. When he doesn’t budge she goes out and files for sexual harassment against him.

Courts are always biased towards girls in such cases and Akshay’s only hope is his wife Kareena. She happens to be a lawyer and she is the only one standing tall between all oddities and Akshay.
