10 Bollywood Movies You Had No Idea Were Remakes Of Hollywood

Bollywood movies of the present generation have been an outright copy of Hollywood flicks but did you know that this has been happening from ages, like from the black and white zamana.

Yes, right from the time of Raj Kapoor to Rajesh Khanna, Amitabh Bachchan and Aamir Khan, a number of Bollywood movies that these actors have starred in are actually Hollywood rip offs and the worst part is that we had no idea about it.

For years claiming to have been an original, these movies have sought inspiration from their Hollywood counterparts and did not even bother to reveal it. Thanks to a few sources like IMDB who opened our eyes and gave us inside information about these movies.

Bees Saal Baad, a 1962 film Bollywood psychological drama-thriller film starring Biswajeet, Waheeda Rehman, Madan Puri, Sajjan, Asit Sen and directed by Biren Nag is actually an adaptation Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's The Hound of the Baskervilles.
