In recent times, remaking South Indian hits in Hindi has emerged as the shortcut to success at the box office. The idea of remakes allows for the story to be adapted into a new setting, to be marketed to a new audience, after being customised for their needs. Why risk an original script that may not work when you’ve got a blockbuster script at your disposal that has a higher chance of striking a chord with the audience?
The influence of South Indian cinema on Bollywood and vice-versa was always there, but the trend of South Indian remakes in Bollywood has quickly reached exponential proportions with the huge success of Ghajini in 2008. By the time Salman’s Wanted stormed the box office, every other superstar was scrambling to acquire the rights of South Indian blockbusters.
Since then, several remakes have struck box office gold. But which is the best official South Indian remake in Bollywood in the past 5 years (including Ghajini)? Vote now
