I'm sure you're not talking about those Automobiles driving on the sidewalks in the first picture.

Aqua was not the first to have undulating balconies to create a ripple effect.

I like it! Good for Mumbai! Indian skyscraper architecture is really interesting.

Nope, don't see it.

As much as I love Aqua, it did not invent curves on building sides. Besides, the balconies here are arranged the way they are for a totally different effect.

Well, India wont be trumpeting this as their own unique thing. But they certainly can build it and enjoy it for what it is.
You have my permission to move forward with this! Good luck!

It is indeed unique; if not, show me a building in the world that's a good deal similar. Curved facade is a very vague reference to Aqua, and this tower's streamined hanging garden approach is entirely different than Aqua's flowing waves of shallow balconies.
