Five Hindi remakes that were done well

Ghulam (1998):



This movie was a favourite for all Amir Khan fans and established Amir's talent as an actor. Remade from "On the waterfront", Amir played the part of Siddhu very well. Jatin Lalit's music ensured that the movie scores topped countdowns for quite some time. Apart from Rani's lacking voice (dubbed by Mona Ghosh Shetty), everything was perfect about the movie. The song "Aati Kya Khandala" from this movie was the first song Amir Khan sang for any movie.



Satte Pe Satta (1982):





Remade from Seven brides for Seven brothers, the Hindi version had right doses of humour, music and action. Thanks to some superb acting from Amitabh Bacchan and Hema Malini, this Raj Sippy directed movie was a massive hit. The movie had some beautiful numbers from Pancham da that justified this musical comedy.


Kaante (2002):



Many would not have expected this remake in the list but the movie was a success at the box office making first week earnings of £10.9m (India) and total earnings of £1.622,000 and £1.268,507 in the United States and Britain respectively. Being a remake of Reservoir Dogs, Tarantino himself ranks Kaante as his favorite among the many inspirations from his film.


Chachi 420 (1997):



Chachi 420 is a 1997 Indian Hindi comedy film, a remake of the Tamil film Avvai Shanmughi and was the first film directed by Kamal Haasan who also starred as the main character. It is thought to be an Indian remake of Mrs. Doubtfire but there are many plot differences between two movies. Actors include Kamal Haasan himself in the lead and also playing a double role, Lakshay Gulia, Tabu, Om Puri, Johnny Walker, Paresh Rawal, Rajendranath Zutshi, Ayesha Jhulka, Nassar and Baby Sana. The executive producer is Sab John a.k.a. John E.


Judwaa (1997):


Judwaa  is a 1997 Indian Hindi action comedy film directed David Dhawan, starring Salman Khan in a double role opposite Karisma Kapoor and Rambha. The film was successful at the box office. The film is a remake of the 1994 Telugu movie Hello Brother, which itself is based on the 1992 Jackie Chan's movie Twin Dragons.
