Paap is an almost exact remake of 'Witness' starring Harrison Ford, but made very well., 11 April 2005
Author: ukb007 from South of Equator

Paap is an enjoyable romantic thriller, made very well. It is one of the few Hindi films that is very enjoyable, although the musical score is somewhat disappointing. Even if you've seen 'Witness' (starring Harrison Ford) before, the film will engage you. Witness dealt with an Amish community, and this one is set in a small Buddhist community. Remake or not, this is good cinema. We ought to see more of this kind of films rather than the mindless ones churned out regularly from the Hindi film industry.

Some other remakes that are recommended:

1. Dewaange - Akshay Khanna - (after 'Primal Fear' starring Richard Gere and Edward Norton)

2. Aithraz - Akshay Kumar - (after 'Disclosure' starring Michael Douglas and Demi Moore)
