- Mayaanadhi (2017) Aashiq Abu's soulful Mayaanadhi starring Tovino Thomas and Aishwarya Lekshmi has been a personal favourite.

Let’s start with the most famous, and probably the most controversial one. Priyadarshan made a bold move when he decided to make a remake of one of Malayalam’s biggest hits. But alas, Bhool Bhulaiyaadid not match up to the original though it can be considered a decent hit.
Bodyguard was Siddique’s first venture into Hindi. And he seems to have had a unique stroke of luck as the gamble paid off and the Hindi version of Bodyguardwas as much, if not more, successful.
Another Priyadarshan movie. Chup Chup Ke was quite unmemorable and didn’t have much success at the box office, and for good reason too; it was nothing like Punjabi House.
OK, now someone needs to tell Priyadarshan that remaking a Malayalam comedy into Hindi is a bad idea, then again he has had some success doing it too. But not this one! Dhol was nowhere close to how good In Harihar Nagarwas.
The original Boeing Boeing was based on a French play by the same name and went on to be a Mollywood classic. Priyadarshan went on to make the Bollywood version, Garam Masalain 2007, and it made a decent collection at the box office.
Ramji Rao Speakingwas remade into Hindi in 2000 and is widely regarded as one of the best Bollywood comedies ever.
Rohit Shetty directed the Bollywood remake of this Priyadarshan hit. Though it was not as good as the original, it was still a success at the box office.
Vellanakalude Naadu was remade into Khatta Meethaby, no points for guessing, Priyadarshan. The Bollywood version starred Akshay Kumar and was relatively successful at the box office.
Seeing the success of Kadha Parayumbol, Priyadarshan made the Hindi remake Billu Barber. Billu Barber was a decent hit but did not match up to the standards set by Kadha Parayumbol.
And finally, we have Drishyam. This Malayalam hit was remade into Hindi in 2015 and was a huge success at the box office. What do you think about the Hindi remakes? Were they better than the originals? Did we miss out on some movies? Let us know in the comments section below.
