10 Hollywood remakes in Bollywood
Introduction
The first Bollywood movies had stories in the Indian context. Those movies had the rustic appeal. Many of these movies are still remembered by old and new alike. Later, cinema in the Hindi film industry underwent a paradigm shift. Impressed by the work of foreign filmmakers, many Bollywood directors turned to film remakes. Some of them became super duper hits while others bombed at the box office. People were able to bond with some of these movies. On the other hand, the worst films made could not be identified under Indian conditions. This is what makes remakes a risky business. Another problem that arises is the violation of copyright.
