10 Bollywood Movies Which Were Copied By Hollywood: Something to Be Proud About!

Leap Year (2010) – Jab We Met (2007)

Consider this! A youthful bubbly girl sets out on a journey to propose and marry the man she loves…comes across an annoying stranger on the way…situations lead them to stay together for a night…reaches the fiancé who turns out to be the perfect douchebag ever, finally falls in love and unites with the stranger! Sounds familiar, doesn’t it? While the makers of 'Leap Year’ (whose storyline we just described) are yet to come clean about being ‘inspired’ by our very own ‘Jab We Met’, but the storyline certainly clears a lot of things!

Just Go With It (2011) – Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya (2005)

A famous French play ‘Fleur de cactus’ was reason of the making of our very own Bhai’s starrer flick ‘Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya’. And then in 2011, the same plot went well with the US market also as ‘Just Go with It’ was an obvious remake of the 2005 Hindi Movie. The US flick saw Jennifer Anniston playing the role of Sushmita Sen as the dutiful nurses to their respective doctors.

Hitch (2005) – Chhoti Si Baat (1975)

In 2007, Govinda made a comeback in the industry with the flick ‘Partner’ which was said to be a copy of the movie ‘Hitch’. But the Will Smith starrer was hugely inspired by the 1975 flick 'Chhoti Si Baat’. It is strange as to how the same story line was circulated among the audience in the span of 3 decades.

A Common Man (2013) – A Wednesday (2008)

Imagine this: Naseeruddin Shah for the Bollywood version and Ben Kingsley for the Hollywood version. Surely a movie like A Wednesday or A Common Man will take some powerful portrayer to show something that important.

Something Borrowed (2011) – Mujhse Dosti Karoge (2002)

Another movie which has the influence of a Bollywood flick all over it! The story line goes like…two BFFS, one chirpy the other maintains a low social prominence, both in love with the same man, the man who was initially a friend of the latter’s, who could never sum up the guts to address her love, and is happy when he settles for the bubbly friend, destiny however brings the two together. If similarities are taken into account, this Hollywood piece ‘Something Borrowed’ looks same as ‘Mujhse Dosti Karoge’, though it is said to be an adoption of Emily Emily Giffin’s novel of the same title.
