Here are the Top 10 Bollywood movies that have been inspired from Hollywood

By Vini

Every time Bollywood tried making something new it always had some similarities with the Hollywood films. The inspirations are always drawn from the Hollywood film fraternity. Some of them received immense praise while some received criticism. Let’s take a glance through the top ten movies you didn’t were copied or inspired from Hollywood.

1. Munna Bhai M.B.B.S and Patch Adams

We really love the bond between Munna and Circuit and the film is entertaining too. But the first instalment of this film series has been heavily inspired by Robbin Williams’ Patch Adams.

2. Zinda and Oldboy

Park Chan Wook’s masterpiece stands out to be one of the greatest action thrillers ever made and has more than one remake. In Bollywood, that remake would be Sanjay Dutt’s Zinda.

3. Qayamat and The Rock

Ajay Devgn starrer is inspired by Sean Connery and Nicholas Cage’s The Rock. Other from some side stories.

4. Taxi No. 9211 and Changing Lanes

Both films have a storyline of a wealthy young man being at the mercy of a mercurial cab driver. Just one thing, Ben Affleck and Samuel L. Jackson’s Changing Lanes was released much before its Hindi counterpart.

5. Shaurya and A Few Good Men

Shaurya is adapted from Tom Cruise military drama. Just that Shaurya has its own and revolves around Islamophobia.

6. Partner and Hitch

Hitch was released before partner and both consist of a good amount of comedy in them. Partner and Hitch follow the same concept to the very end and so feel more alike than they should.

7. Judwaa and Twin Dragons

Jackie Cham starrer Twin Dragon consists of two identical twin brothers who had been separated as children and grow up in completely different worlds until they reunite at a different time in life. And wait that’s the same story for Judwaa as well.

8. Salaam-e-Ishq and Love, Actually

Right from the posters to the theme of the movie, everything is similar. Just that the subplots were in a different direction.

9. Dostana and Now I pronounce you Chuck and Larry

Dostana was good but clearly was never near to the comic timings of Adam Sandler and Kevin James. Ogi remains Ogi and is always better.

10. Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar and Breaking Away

Sure both the films have a lot many differences but the central theme looks similar. Also Breaking Away impressed us way back in 1979 itself.
