Oceans Thirteen = Sholay

I saw Oceans Thirteen yesterday, and guess what its a total Bollywood flick! Looks like Hollywood is drawing a lot of inspiration from our very own Bollywood. The west is looking to the east for more than yoga and chicken curry.
The movie was great fun and enjoyable but I couldn't help comparing the movie to our very own Sholay. All through the movie I couldn't help drawing comparisons between Oceans 13 and Sholay. With Reuben as Thakur, Clooney as Amitabh and Pitt as our very own Dharmendra. Gabbar Singh played by the great Al Pacino.
I know it sounds hilarious, but you really got to see the movie and see if you can draw these comparisons. Would love to hear your views!
