I guess, mainly because they were not directly copies. Some makers, writers are very clever, they just take inspiration from a particular movie and present them in a different way. For example : In Damini and Cheekh ,the concept was same but they presented in a very different way. In movie too, the brother in law of the lead character actress was the culprit but Bhabhi Devar relation was not focussed like in Cheekh, it was more of husband versus wife where husband was shown trapped between his family and wife. They changed the whole characterisation of actors and here, it was Bhabhi Devar more in focus and husband was pretty much side character.
Same is with Baazigar and YDM. And large number of the dramas and makers do the same.
Copying is there in every drama almost. If you watch KRQ dramas, he himself show the same extra marital affairs in his every drama where a woman is in affair with other man. Be it Ayeza of TDKKH, or Sana Javed of ZYK or Ayeza of MPTH.
But here, they have copied everything even the characters, they could have shown some cleverness and brought the same story in a different way, promos are ditto copy. It's easier to judge them. MPTH was a copy of ZYK too but ZYK wasn't that popular to get noticed by people but Judaai is definitely a very popular movie of 90s, especially, it's the last movie of Sri Devi after which she left the industry and made a comeback with English Vinglish. And we shouldn't forget, during this Lockdown, people are more active on Social Media ,so, this copy thing getting viral is more significant now
Though, I still feel they might show the drama in a different way, as, presenting a movie of 3 hrs in 20 plus episodes can't be whole copy. Dialogues and execution might make the drama a big hit too.
