15 Popular Movies that were copied from other films, check it out
November 24, 2023The word âcopiedâ implies that we were duped or cheated. But perhaps if we look at it from a different angle, it will appear better. Directors drew influence from particular films, which proved to be popular favourites. The majority of the names are unknown, and most people are ignorant of them.
The list below contains the name of fan-favourites that was inspired from other films:
Munna Bhai M.B.B.S and Patch Adams

This film was a remake of an action film in Hong Kong named âTwin Dragonâ.
Salaam-e-Ishq and Love, Actually
The plot of Salaam-e-Ishq was inspired by the Hollywood film âLove Actually,â which took two years to film. The movie wasnât as excellent as Love, Actually, but it has its moments.
Dostana and Now I pronounce you Chuck and Larry
Dostana is a rip-off of Now I Pronounce You Chuck & Larry. The original film was far less formulaic and cringe-worthy to watch. Dostanaâs dialogue was presented considerably more effective than in the first film. But it didnât even come close to the original filmâs level of hilarity.
Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar and Breaking Away

The film âJo Jeeta Wahi Sikanderâ is not a remake, although it is inspired by the Hollywood film âBreaking Away.â The plot is comparable to the bicycle race and competition, as well as the idea of a meaningless existence after college. Both films have their fan bases, or perhaps they share one.

A Common Man and A Wednesday
Well for a change, Bollywoodâs film was copied and not vice versa. Though it is a pretty rare situation. But, now you know how good the plot must be since it got copied by Hollywood!
A Common Man is a 2013 Sri Lankan thriller film directed by Sri Lankan filmmaker Chandran Rutnam, starring Ben Kingsley and Ben Cross. The film is an official remake of the Indian film, A Wednesday!
Sangam and Pearl Habor
Both films are rather nice and are dramas. Everything from the cinematography to the music to the conversation was flawless. Sangam had only one friend as a pilot, whilst its Hollywood counterpart had both. The plots of both films are fairly identical, with the sole variation being that Sangamâs main character had two friends.
