List of Remakes By Bollywood

I love Indian Cinema, it is the cinema that i have watched most after Hollywood but what  really disappoints me is when you get to watch movies made on story lines same as that of Hollywood or another cinema because i don't want to see the same thing with two different names.Whether you have watched these movies or not,let me tell you that there are some movies within them that are not a disappointment but may be really good to watch if you haven't watched the originals(as happened with me with for some of them)
1. Zinda /Oldboy

Similarities:Same story of protagonist imprisoned by antagonist in a personal jail for more than 10 years for an unknown reasons but gradually the story reveals the reasons behind such bizarre acts.
Difference:The end is different,honestly the original movie has the better end because it is too much sick one and really leaves it to viewers decide as to how movie ended while Indian one has simple end that is too some extent predictable.Honestly, i watched Indian movie first and i liked it a lot but the opinion about it dropped it a little bit because the original is superior in every aspect.Anyway the Indian movie is worth watching for people who love Indian Cinema and like movies made on new themes.



2.Kante / Reservoir dogs

   Similarities:A bunch of professional robbers make a plan to rob a bank only to find that police or  cops were    told by one of them about the expected robbery.
   Difference:Not much i guess except a bit of difference in ending and background stories of the lead characters and good songs as always is part of Indian remakes

3.Qiyamat /The Rock

Similarities:The protagonist needs help of a convict in order to evade a terrorist plot
Difference:lots of dances in Indian ones and the bad guys in Indian movie have no background as to why they are like that.

4.Phir Hera Pheri / Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels

   Similarities:The guys under pressure steal or rob some precious stuff ,from guys who also stole it from some one else, for paying up a huge debt to a lending party.
   Difference:The good guys decreases from four to three in Indian remake and as part of any Indian movie,there is a love story and songs to attract audience.The villains in British movie are far more dangerous and something to be feared while villains in Indian movie are very stupid. Honestly both of the movies are good,Indian movie is a way more funny,may be because i love indian comedies.


5.Ghajini / Memento

 Similarities:A man with short term loss of memory is looking for the murderer of his wife, with clues written on his body.
Difference: The indian movie is stupid , in plain terms , as much as possible.I was not expecting Amir Khan ,after acting in movies like Lagaan(Oscar nominated) and Dil Chahta hay , to participate in this worthless project. The two movies have different endings.The indian remake has plot holes to swallow the whole train.There is absolutely no need to watch the indian remake,unless you are fan of Amir Khan.The only good thing about ghajini could be its music or nice change in Amir Khan physique for the particular role.

6.Bichoo / Léon: The Professional

Similarities:A professional assassin befriends a female whose family  murdered by a cop who is a drug dealer.The assassin later on takes revenge on the behalf of female.
Difference:while the female is a little girl in English movie,the female is a beautiful woman who can dance in different tracks.Both of the movies are good though the original movie is superior.



7.Partner / Hitch

Similarities:Love doctor, the hero, is going to help a hopeless guy to get his true love.
Difference: Not much except of inclusion of some other characters like a father of one of heroines.

8. Kyun Kay Mein Jhoot Nahi Bolta / Liar Liar

Similarities:A Lawyer is very very successful one because of his skills of providing fabricated lies.
Difference: Again, you wont find much difference ,but both movies are enjoyable as they cast Jim Carrey in the original and Govinda in Indian remake,who make the movie really funny with their acting.

Movies Based On Novel

These movies can't be stated as remake but movie was first made  in Cinema other than media.

1.Agni Shaksi /Sleeping with the Enemy

Similarities:The leading female after leaving her abusive husband in strange circumstances when the husband is thinking that her wife has died, is trying to restart her life but she cannot leave past so easily as the husband is also on her trail
Difference:The ending is different for two movies,that is the only difference i could find.This movie have been remade many times.It was remade even in Pakistan.

2.Chachi 420/ Mrs Doubt fire

 Similarities:A father disguised as a woman in order to stay close with his kids,after separation with his wife due   to marital problems:

  Difference: The end is different for two movies,but both movie are equally funny.As i watched indian movie   first so i like it more.  

3.Sarkar / Godfather

 

Similarities: People look for a god father to provide justice instead of government.The rivals of God Father ar using the closest people to God Father in order to bring him down.
Difference:The ending is different but both of movies are equally good.Each one of them is worth looking
