3. Bunty Aur Babli (2006)
As per a MensXP report, two con artists, a man named Jagjeet and his female partner, were wanted by the police for the attempt to murder, theft, robbery, snatching, and assault on an on-duty officer.
Apparently, these two were inspired by the Abhishek Bachchan and Rani Mukerji starrer Bunty Aur Babli where the two actors themselves play con artists. The real-life con artists’ operations were mostly limited to Delhi’s Connaught Place, Defence Colony, RK Puram and Tilak Marg and were involved in at least 23 cases.
While being interrogated, Jagjeet confessed that the inspiration behind these crimes came from the movie. As of 2017, Jagjeet has been imprisoned while his female partner is still on the loose.
4. Khosla Ka Ghosla! (2006)
In the movie, a property dealer used fake documents to acquire the land of a common, middle-class man. Although this was made for entertainment, that did not stop criminal mind Abhay Veer Batra repeating the film in real life.
Abhay Veer Batra was found running an operation of illegally occupying vacant land in Delhi and forging ownership documents.
