great movie with breath take scene and good song . seem original too . but that be where it end . see represent eye of the needle with donald sutherland and kate nelligan . you will see the immediate connection . the isolated kashmir background mimic storm island . the wwii german role of donald mimic aamir struggle a a kashmiri live on foreign soil . the role play by rishi kapoor a the heroine father be similar to kate husband in eotn . the role play by the isolated colonel who die at the hand of aamir be similar to the lighthouse event in eotn . in fact the final struggle be also similar . a helicopter await aamir and a german u boat wait donald .
