IME no matter where the original source material comes from, the history of humans' desire for tribalism/comparison will always have bad actors coming out to complain about another culture bastardizing their art/culture.
Which isn't a lie, but it's not what is going on all of the time.

But let's not pretend cultural exchanges are not a thing and can/do come from a place of respect.
In broader strokes, I think we'd do better to encourage each other to see different interpretations of the same stories. They all can't be good but that could be for so many reasons.
Localized slang, societal norms, artists' different tastes, money, etc.

I enjoyed Bollywood's "Barfi!" And while the story was original, the presentation of the film in the beginning took heavy inspiration (IMO) from "Amelie" and "The Royal Tenenbaums". I liked it quite a bit and I wish more movie watchers would stop being so comparative for a bit and just appreciate that amazing filmmakers are creating amazing shit by being inspired by each other.

I do appreciate when creators openly talk about where their inspirations came from with their projects.

Nothing is original and that's a good thing. What we don't want are plagiarized and homogeneous content.

It also cracks me up that other cultures have made their own knockoff versions/reinterpretations of American films/shows, and they have not all been "better". LOL Interesting, at the very least.
