Indian Movies have a long history of remaking Hollywood films. While some of these remakes have been successful and well-received by the audience, others have been nothing short of pathetic.
Here are some of the most pathetic Bollywood Movie remakes of Hollywood movies:
#1 Love Story 2050 (Remake of Back to the Future)
Back to the Future is a beloved sci-fi film that has stood the test of time. So, when Bollywood decided to make a remake titled Love Story 2050, expectations were high. Unfortunately, the film fell flat on its face. The script was a convoluted mess, the special effects were laughable, and the lead actor’s attempt at channeling Michael J. Fox was cringe-worthy. It was a painful reminder that some movies should never be remade.
#2 God Tussi Great Ho (Remake of Bruce Almighty)
Bruce Almighty was a hilarious comedy that showcased Jim Carrey’s comedic genius. Bollywood decided to give it a desi twist with God Tussi Great Ho, starring Salman Khan. However, the film failed to capture the magic of the original. Salman Khan’s attempt at playing a disgruntled man who gains god-like powers was lackluster, and the jokes fell flat. It was a disappointing remake that paled in comparison to the original.
#3 Players (Remake of The Italian Job)
The Italian Job is a stylish heist film that is known for its slick action sequences and memorable characters. Bollywood attempted to recreate the magic with Players, but failed miserably. The film lacked the charm and sophistication of the original, and the action sequences were poorly executed. It was a half-hearted attempt at recreating a classic, and it fell short in every aspect.
#4 Prince (Remake of The Bourne Identity)
The Bourne Identity is a thrilling action film that kept audiences on the edge of their seats. Bollywood decided to give it a desi twist with Prince, starring Vivek Oberoi. However, the film was a complete disaster. The action sequences were poorly choreographed, the plot was confusing, and Vivek Oberoi’s attempt at playing a Jason Bourne-like character was laughable. It was a sad attempt at recreating a gripping thriller.
While Bollywood has had its fair share of successful remakes, there have been some truly pathetic attempts as well. From poorly executed horror films to laughable action sequences, these remakes failed to capture the magic of the original Hollywood movies.
