Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar was a well made copy, and Indianized so well, that nobody noticed the over-age actors playing the roles of school kids. However, the basic storyline of the friends, the love triangle and most importantly, the cycle race in Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar was exactly picked from the 1979 Hollywood flick Breaking Away.

Even though Kamal Hassan denied that his film bore a startling resemblance to the Robin William starrer Mrs Doubtfire the truth remains that his female avatar of Laxmi Godbole in Chachi 420 was a complete copy from the English film. Not just was the role of Hassan similar to Robin William’s, even the story, where the father disguises himself as a 60-year-old widow just to be with his children at his ex-wife’s house, is exactly like Mrs. Doubtfire.

Yash Raj Film’s Mere Yaar Ki Shaadi Hai can be termed as an over cooked copy of My Best Friend's Wedding. In fact, even its name is a Hindi version of the English title. The only difference in our Bollywood potboiler is that the role of the gay friend (Rupert Everett in Hollywood film) was changed to that of a girl (Bipasha Basu in Mere Yaar Ki Shaadi Hai), however the story of two best friends who grew up together loving each other remains the same.

A couple, a house that only affects the wife, a terrible secret that the husband has kept hidden from his life partner, guess the film? Any Bollywood film lover would instantly say its Raaz however not many may know that this is the exact story of Hollywood flick What Lies Beneath. Even though the makers of our Hindi blockbuster may deny, the secret of Raaz is that it is a direct lift off.

John Abraham starrer Saaya went without a trace, however it finds its place in our list of Hollywood rip offs for its scene by scene replication of Kevin Costner starrer Dragonfly which too flopped at the box-office. Both the films deal with the story of a doctor whose wife dies in an accident and later tries to connect with him to let him know about their child.

Director Sanjay Gupta was very clever to rope in superstars like Amitabh Bachchan and Sanjay Dutt in Kaante to subdue the fact that it was a slick copy of Reservoir Dogs. However, the same story of 6 NRIs who plan to pull of a robbery, with one of them turning out to be an undercover cop couldn’t escape the reviewers’ eyes who panned the film for being a complete rip off. Interestingly, Sanjay even got involved in a long court case for copying Reservoir Dogs.

A man, taken and locked up for 14 years (15 in Oldboy) without any reason, is suddenly released, and has 4 days (5 in Oldboy) to figure out why this was done to him. This is the outline of Zinda. We wish Sanjay Gupta could know that the fine line between a tribute and a copy does not change by just altering a digit in the outline.

Mahesh Bhatt surely knows how to present his films even though they are straight lift offs. Murder shares the same story of adultery with Hollywood superhit Unfaithful. This Emraan Hashmi-Mallika Sherawat starrer film was unarguably the best Hollywood rip off and became a rage among the masses for the sizzling chemistry and bold scenes between Emraan and Mallika

If plagiarism could be a crime in Bollywood, Sajid Khan would have got sued for making a carbon copy of Three Men and a Baby. Even though he claimed that the film was inspired by a friend’s lifestyle, the film’s story about 3 men living together and one fine day finding a baby outside their house only to know one amongst them is her father, was undeniably a Hollywood rip off.

The only thing different in Partner was that the names of the characters were not similar to the ones in Hollywood flick Hitch otherwise both the films were about Love Gurus who guaranteed a girl for losers (Govinda in case of Partner and Kevin James in case of Hitch). The only thing that worked in making this Bollywood film a blockbuster was the charm of Salman Khan and the sizzling song sequences.

Rumy Jafry’s God Tussi Great Ho was a frame by frame copy of the Hollywood film Bruce Almighty, with Amitabh Bachchan as God (Morgan Freeman in Bruce Almighty), Salman Khan as the loser protagonist (Jim Carrey in Bruce Almighty) and Priyanka Chopra (Jennifer Aniston in Bruce Almighty) as the girl, who loves the loser.

Ghajini may have been one of Aamir's biggest hit in recent years, but as we know only too well, it is a copy of Memento. Aamir Khan very honestly accepted that Ghajini isn't based on Memento instead; it just copied the look and the basic idea and was moulded into a typical Indian masala film.
