With the television industry being so vast and huge it is possible that show writers and creators may have simultaneous ideas. However, sometimes shows might also end up being the same. Whether it was intentionally copied or whether it was just a coincidence might just always stay a mystery.
Recently, people are accusing a new Pakistani show to be another version of the Spanish Netflix show Elite. The show is called College Gate and is a production by Green Entertainment. Just recently, the yet-to-be-released movie Money Back Guarantee was also accused of being a ripoff of the Spanish global sensation, Money Heist.
Here is a picture of the two shows shown side by side. Have a look!
This is what we call an uncanny resemblance. The uniforms, the poses, the characters, almost the exact same. But we all might just be reading too much into it. And maybe it’s actually very different from Elite. The show features the new young Gen Z influencers and public figures like Zarrar Khan, Natalia Castillo Shahid, Khaqan Shahnawaz, Hina Chaudhry, Mamia Shajaffar, Shuja Asad, Washma Fatima, Nouman Kahout, and Asad Chaudhry.
Here watch the trailer
From the description, it can be made out that the show is about a group of young individuals who are trying to find their own way in a world that expects them to follow established societal norms. As they start their journey s of self-discovery, they must face the challenges posed by their families and communities, who may not always understand or support their choices.
What writer, Ateeq Inayat and Ali Sikandar and director, Fahim Burney have in store for us is still unknown but the show does look promising so no judgments here. By the trailer, the show looks nothing like Elite. Elite was a Netflix original murder mystery drama show. The story revolved around three working-class teens enrolling in an exclusive private school in Spain, and the clash between them and the wealthy students leads to murder.
But what fans have to say will be seen after the show releases its first few episodes. What do you think? Let us know in the comments below.
