Recently, the trailer of Ayushmann Khurrana starrer Bala released which presents the story of a protagonist with premature balding.
And while the trailer was definitely interesting, Twitterati felt it held a strong resemblance to another trailer recently released – Ujda Chaman starring Sunny Singh.
Though technically the teaser for Bala was released first, the two trailers had quite a few similarities – other than the central subject of course. And people were all too quick to point them out:
Content of 2 films could be same but how so many aspects could be similar. Both Ayushman & sunny playing teachers, both films have saurabh shukla, both trailers end with Hair transplant scene,posters are identical.Its going to be tough choice for the audience #Bala & #UjdaChaman

Weird face-off in Bollywood. Huge similarities between trailers of #Bala and #UjdaChaman.

– Both have bald protagonists, who are teachers
– Both have Saurabh Shukla
– Many similar dialogues and situations
– Both releasing with just a day’s gap
Audience – will they see both?
#Bala shifted movie release a day before #UjdaChaman.

Wish they had shifted their creativity on movies subject and poster design too a bit. pic.twitter.com/NAol0rMR5V

2 movies with same concept on same weekend🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
What’s going on????
Bala makers dar gaye lagta hai😅😅
Well UJDA CHAMAN is a remake so what is BALA??…inspired? pic.twitter.com/WXzsFeZa8V
Makers of #bala feared that as #UjdaChaman was releasing before with same concept ,viewers may get feeling of repetitiveness from their film. now its obvious people will prefer bala on 8th nov coz of @ayushmannk stardom.Nice strategy!😉

Bollywood is running out of scrips that again both the movies came up with similar kind of scripts based on hair transplantation topic. Earlier we had similar incidents on the topic of wrestling. This will effect each movies bussiness in making.#Bala#UjdaChaman pic.twitter.com/eJybnLUcs0

#Bala & #UjdaChaman both trailers are HILARIOUS. Both have same Subject. Even @saurabhshukla_s is present there in both films. And now the release date too is Same.

Ab Ye Ganit to bass producer saab hi samza sake hai 🤪
Also, apparently the story may be inspired by the Kannada movie Ondu Motteya Kathe.
Does #Bala story relates to kannada super hit movie Ondu Motteya Kathe ( Story of A Bald ) pic.twitter.com/OuzgBSFn48

Irrespective of who came up with the idea first, we’re happy that at least a subject like male pattern baldness is making its way to mainstream cinema.
