List of Bollywood Movies Remade in South India

Discuss

We often see people criticizing Bollywood for remaking South Indian movies, no doubt Bollywood recently
remade plenty of South Indian movies in Hindi, but this is quite common in film industries.

India is a diverse country and we have many languages for each language, we have Language-based Film
Industry, and not all People in India understand a single language, so Remakes work in every industry, a Good
film gets a remade in Multiple Languages, If you Look at the career of Rajinikanth, you will find many Amitabh
Bachchan’s films as Tamil Remake starring Rajinikanth. Rajinikanth remade all the Amitabh’s 70s,80s hit films
in the Tamil language.

Nowadays films are released in multiple languages, and you will find the dubbed version easily of South Indian
films.

OP kudos for the effort, but you just ended up proving the point that Bollywood has declined post 2010.

That's what everyone, including south director's have been saying that once Bollywood was at the top, but
now it's not. Your list just gives substantial evidence for the same.

Even back then with Malayalam it was largely one way street. Andhadhun getting remade in
Malayalam was a rarity. Mollywood is where all the real novelty and originality originates in Indian
cinema.

No offense, but in that list you provided more than 70% films remade were before 2000s. Back then
remakes were pretty common, Every year Telugu and Tamil industries were remaking each other's films
and Rajnikanth and Sr NTR used to remake Big B's films, It wasn't a huge deal back then as we didn't have
much satellite and social media.

Nowadays South Industries don't remake bollywood films as much as bollywood does our remakes. We
remake Tamil or Malayalam films sometimes but not many Hindi films.

Even in Telugu, Out of our Big 6 actors - 4 of them have never made a Hindi remake, Prabhas did only 1
(Billa) and Pawan Kalyan made quite a few. I also assume it's mostly same with many Tamil actors this
generation and Malayalam also don't remake much anymore.

Even back then Malayalam was the exception. Malayalam movies were largely original and novel.

 Remakes worked back then or even a decade back because the content wasn't available in multiple
languages now with ott the barrier is closed. And actors here are just playing along you canLog In remakes
have
in your filmography but can't make your entire filmography consisting remakes. Look at Ajay devgn in
recent times how many remakes has he given back to back, look at jahnvi. No need to get defensive here
op, bollywood movies were remade in south languages and vice versa but the problem is completely
different.

I think people who are blaming Bollywood are blaming the industry of today. It’s kinda sad for an industry
that was a pioneer to fall from its glory and resort to lazy remakes. It’s more out of wanting to see a
change.

Lol. OP. Bollywood lacks good story tellers. This has been a problem for a long time. Bollywood simply
has no ideas unlike South Indian movie industry. People are not willing to waste their money on Bolywood
movies which are garbage, substandard remake or blatant copies of South Indian, Hollywood movies.

Here are 153 South Indian movies remade in Hindi

https://m.imdb.com/list/ls009040706/

Here are 50 Bollywood copies copied from Hollywood:

https://www.innfinity.in/entertainment/bollywood-movies-which-were-copied-from-hollywood/amp/

These 203 movies are just the tip of the iceberg.😂😂 There are thousands of Bollywood movies “so
called inspired” from other movies Don’t be defensive OP. You have to accept OP, Bollywood has relied on
blatant copying movies for a long time. It’s only in recent years Bollywood has been exposed thanks to
social media.

Even few Bollywood classics are copies -

1. Taare Zameen Par (2007)- Remake of Love, Mary (1985)

2. Munnabhai MBBS (2003) Remake of Patch Adams (1998)
3. . Black (2005) - Remake of The Miracle Worker (1962)
4. Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar (1992) - Remake of Breaking Away (1979)

The criticism about remakes is mostly about current state of bollywood. For example, Salman's rise after
2010 was mostly due to his south indian remakes. And even great star like Amir made such a shitty
remake of forest gump.

ArsesFlycatcher • 1y ago

Everyone knows it's common. But here we mostly discuss Bollywood, so they get the criticism.

The market has changed. People are now watching South movies. Most of them are free on YouTube, and
remakes may not work at the box office. Then filmmakers blame the audience for not going to the theater.
Audience wants new stories or a really well made remake.
