Hrithik Roshan – Harman Baweja
Harman Baweja was named a Hrithik Roshan look-a-like, when the first trailer of Love Story 2050 released about 2 months back. The similarities that followed after new trailers released were unbelievable.. But since the movie released last friday, the topic has been discussed widely and almost every reviewer / critic has mentioned it..
Before the release of Love Story 2050, Harman Baweja fumed over the comparisons with Hrithik Roshan. “My looks are not something that I have manufactured. It is what I was born with. There might be some (some??) similarity with Hrithik, but I completely disagree that we look the same or I am following his dancing or acting style.”
But Harman from whatever the world has seen of you in the movie, you not just look and dance like Hrithik, but every act of yours in the movie seemed to be heavily inspired by Hrithik Roshan. Whether its your dancing, dialogue delivery (although you failed miserably here) or your mannerisms.
Priyanka Chopra on the other hand said “I have worked with both of them and they have their own distinctive styles. Audiences will come to know once they see the film”
Priyanka, since the audience verdict is out now and they unanimously believe in exactly the opposite, we wonder what the distinct changes are, that you noticed? Ritesh, a student, goes as far as to say “The comparisons with Hrithik Roshan actually helped generate some hype around Harman Baweja. But Harman cant act! He seems to have intentionally copied Hrithik Roshan, and failed in doing so too. I couldn’t find anything unique or different in anything that he did in the movie.”
Funnily though, 2 days before the release of his Love Story, Harman says “I don’t want to talk about it any more. Just because my looks, my dance steps, my body language are same as that of Hrithik, it’s not right to compare me with him. Please, no more comparisons,”
Almost everything is same, but hey, please dont compare! Doesnt make much sense, Harman. The audience would rather watch the original well established superstar, dancing and performing than a duplicate, dont you think?
All said and done, it will be a Herculean task for Harman to get out of this hole, after the mega disaster in the form of his debut 50 crore Love Story 2050. When its time for his next release, the comparisons will arise once again. Hopefully we get to see something different the next time!

When I saw Harman for 1st time, thru the trailer, I thought he’s Hrithik! but after watching him in some interviews, I found similarities in the face, the feature and specially the eyes. He got Hrithik’s eyes! His look, and as he said, is something he was born with, he didn’t change his look to be like Hrithik but he has to change the way he speaks, his tune while he speaks is not attractive.

LOL. Harman is a cheap copy of Hrithik.. He should act in C Grade movies as Hrithik’s duplicate.. He imitated him like there is no tomorrow in LS 2050.
His voice, dancing, body movements, clothes, styling everything was like Hrithik but the Baweja guy lacks class. Hrithik is pure class and a great actor.
Harman has a long long way to go before he can even come close to Hrithik.
Hrithik rocks!!!

I agree wit raghav , hrithik is more senior than harman , so, he shud pay respect at him. Use ur own style,dont copy anyone, when u r trying to copy anyone u loose ur class.hrithik is very classy n he proves himself by his own strenght.neil niten mukesh is also similar 2 hrithrk but he doesn’t follow him.and try 2 confess harman, u r not superstar yet..so stop the moody activities lyk a superstar which u r showing in ur all interviews.

I know harman looks like hritik but it doesnt mean he’s copying him because its just the way harman is.
Its not his fault that he looks like hritik and as for dancing, why should harman get picked on when nearly all the bollywood actors are dancing like that??
Leena: (July 8, 2008 at 5:26 pm)
Ii cannot begin to imagine how hritik feels, i mean it would be a nightmare to wake up & realise u hav a look alike, but seriously, i think harman is a hritik wanabe & is a total fake. why harman why?????aargghh i cant take it anymore….

Chi Chi Chi Harman?? What a shame? actually its puppy shame! & To priyanka- Time to dump this disastor of the century or else the tide / hype uve been riding on all along with suddenly disappear from underneath u & u will never be able to recover from it. As it is u see these days there r new sensations like deepika etc. So get ready to say goodbye to the glamour world & hang on to all that money u have accumulated so far. My advice to u priyanka , spend wisely! or else u wont have too much more left to spend. Try ur hand in singing, release an album or something.

Grish is pretty right, its not Harman’s fault 2 b similar with Hrithik. He has got like him frm his birth. But solutions r 2 develop a new image of his own, or else he would be a superflop star.

rahul: (July 11, 2008 at 10:12 pm)
is he mad….he just copies hrithik and say not to compare….he’s insane….
Overhyped LS 2050 gone buried under the soil, which it deserved. So far Harry’s best work was Dilwale, n here he made a flop introduction to his Hrithik alike Harman.
