Plagiarism Report: Comparison of Motivational Stories

The video from Motivaan Stories (Feb 2026) is a direct, structural plagiarism of the original video by APPLEBOX By Sabari (Aug 2025). While the characters and settings have been slightly modified (a philosopher in ancient Greece vs. a master sculptor in an unspecified era), the narrative arc, specific plot beats, and even the final twist are identical.

2. Verbatim / Paraphrased Concepts

The Motivaan Stories video uses several specific metaphors and phrases that mirror the Applebox script:

  • The "Shadow" Metaphor: Both videos use the analogy of the past being a "shadow" that you cannot catch or stop, and that you must move toward the "light" of the future [Applebox: 00:12:16 | Motivaan: 00:06:03].

  • The Concept of "Success as Revenge": Both scripts emphasize that arguing with enemies is useless; instead, one must grow "two times higher" than those who hurt them [Applebox: 00:12:07 | Motivaan: 00:06:22].

  • Restorative Lie: The specific reasoning that "if one lie (betrayal) could destroy you, another lie (the fake royal order) can restore you" is the central intellectual property of the Applebox script, which is copied exactly in the Motivaan video.

3. Conclusion

Status: Confirmed Plagiarism.

Motivaan Stories has taken the creative script written by Sabari, changed the "Ancient Greek Philosopher" into a "Master Sculptor," but kept every other narrative beat, character motivation, and philosophical conclusion identical.

Given that Sabari's video was released 6 months prior, it is the clear original work. The Motivaan Stories version even replicates the specific concluding call to action about "carving your own life" and "leaving the past behind" using the same tone and logic.
