Mission Impossible 5 approximately equals Billa

I am just back from watching Mission Impossible 5 - Rogue Nation and I must confess I enjoyed the movie (and of course Tom Cruise). It was racy, with action sequences and stunts that kept the audience excited. Not to mention the exotic locations the movie takes us - Vienna, Moracco, Cuba, London to name a few. And whoever thought to keep the movie's base in London, kudos! Nothing like hearing a British accent :) 

I came out of the cinemas thinking how well Tom Cruise and the entire team have given a wonderful movie, only to be ruined by Mr. P. He innocently asked me, "Hey, Did you realise that this whole movie's story is just like Ajith's Billa, with just a few plot changes?" 

(For those who do not know, Ajith is a popular Tamil actor and "Billa" was his movie, which was in turn a remake of Rajini Kanth's yesteryear Billa) 

Phew!! Once this thought was planted in my mind, it started multithreads on its own - finding similarities between the two. And that's how this blog post came into existence. Now let us see how Mission Impossible 5 ~= Billa. :)

• Main object with which the entire movie revolves around is some highly compromising data of a crime syndicate stored in a pen drive. Does it ring a bell? Ajith's Billa was also about bringing a crime syndicate down with data stored in a pen drive. 
• Tom Cruise teams up with some good cops (CIA agents/IMF) to kill the bad guy. Ultimate star Ajith also pretty much does the same. 
• Chasing sequences in cars, monstrous bikes, leading up to the climax fight scenes. Billa has many such stunts too. 
• This hollywood movie takes us to Vienna, Morocco, London, Cuba. Sadly, our Tamil producers had enough money to take us only to Malaysia in Billa. (No complaints here, the Langkawi bridge fight was good) 
• Rebecca Ferguson plays both the roles of Namitha and Nayanthara (part of her role)

Now, are you thinking what I am thinking? Just like how Avatar was a hollywood version of Vietnam Colony, there are regional movies in our country that inspire Hollywood writers too :P :) :) 

Jokes apart, MI5 - Rogue Nation is a pleasure to watch especially if you are a Tom Cruise fan like me. I strongly recommend you to do a marathon of MI1 to MI4 movies to get into the "zone" before watching it. :) When I was browsing for some images** in Google, look what I found!!! Close enough :P ;) :D :D
