Is ‘Jerryy’ copied from a Filipino movie?


The posters of Nepali movie ‘Jerryy’ and Filipino movie ‘Starting Over Again’ have taken over the memes of ‘SAARC Summit’ and ‘Hera Bhai/Baini’ on social media platforms these days. If we look at the two movies’ posters, it’s very easy to find out that they look very similar.

‘Jerryy’ was released all over Nepal on Nov 14th and has been doing very good. It had been gathering praises everywhere until the two posters went viral on social media recently and the film found itself a controversy. The Filipino flick ‘Starting Over Again’ was released earlier this year on Feb 12th and had grossed $13.4 million worldwide.

After the poster controversy, people had also started suspecting that even the film might be copied from the Filipino film and in order to see if it’s true, we watched ‘Starting Over Again’ too and we can tell that it’s only the poster which is ‘inspired’.

‘Jerry’ starring Anmol KC and Anna Sharma and directed by Hemraj BC is a teenage love story with hatred, love, misunderstanding, friendship as the main elements. On the other hand, ‘Starting Over Again’ tells the story of two lovers who had to break-up because of their career priorities and get a chance again after many years to get together.

See the trailers of both the movies below and do share your views.
