Bollywood has never shied away from blatantly lifting plots and characters from western movies. Hollywood movies have been the main target in this ” inspired ” endeavor and our film makers have managed to make a mockery of these story-lines more often. Excepting of-course a selected few which have to their credit maintained the soul and crux of it, but then not all can be proud of it. Below is a non exhaustive list of Hollywood movies which have been remade into Bollywood movies, and not all are great adaptations :
Ghajini – Momento
Criminal – Fugitive
Chachi 420 – Mrs Doubtfire
Judwa – Twin Dragons
Black – The Miracle Worker
Murder – Unfaithful
Saaya – Dragonfly
Bang Bang – Knight And Day
Naina – The Eye
Hum Tum – When Harry Met Sally
Brothers – Warrior
Rocky Handsome – Man From Nowhere
Sarkar – Godfather
Fanaa – Eye Of The Needle
Murder 2 – Chaser
