::: spoiler spoilers for both movies
I watched Save the Green Planet now and you're right, that part was lifted 1 to 1. I honestly think that they both kinda sucked at delivering those messages because the villain just went on monologues explaining them, instead of using the story as a means to deliver the message. Save the Green Planet at least had the whole sequence where the Andromedans' sculpting of life on earth was depicted little by little; Bugonia instead had Emma Stone ranting about this supposed history (before it was clear that she actually was an alien) with no visuals, which was not as entertaining.
I think Bugonia improved on every other aspect, though. Almost all the characters in the original movie felt a little flat and the tragedy was overplayed.
