We always feel that Bollywood movies are either a remake of Hollywood films or the films from down South. But, not many would know that Bollywood filmmakers have also explored Korean cinema and there are many Hindi films that have been inspired by Korean movies. So, here’s the list of Hindi films that were a remake of Korean movies.

Directed by Sanjay Gupta and starring Sanjay Dutt and John Abraham, Zinda was an official remake of Korean film Oldboy. Though the Hindi film didn’t do well at the box office neither was appreciated by critics, the Korean film is said to be a very well made movie.

Jazbaa

Looks like Sanjay Gupta really loves Korean films. Not just Zinda but his movie Jazbaa starring Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was also a remake of Korean movie Seven Days. Jazbaa like Zinda too didn’t do that well at the box office, but Aishwarya’s performance was appreciated a lot.
