'Ok Jaanu' to 'Billu': 8 Bollywood remake of South Indian films that failed to impress audience
From many years Bollywood has been remaking many south Indian films, while some films become instant hit others fail miserably in bringing the essence of the original. Here are some Bollywood remakes of South Indian films that failed to make a mark.
Ramaiya Vastavaiya/Nuvvostanante Nenoddantana
Prabhudeva moved to Bollywood with his South hit drama 'Nuvvostanante Nenoddantana' and made Hindi version titled 'Ramaiya Vastavaiya' but the dancer-turned-director could not materialise the numbers original garnered. While the songs of 'Ramaiya Vastavaiya' impressed the audience, the film in general was a flop.

Kuch Tum Kaho Kuch Hum Kahe/Kalisundam Raa
'Kuch Tum Kaho Kuch Hum Kahe' was a remake of Venkatesh's hit movie 'Kalisundam Raa'. The Telugu drama was a superhit and also won a National Film Award for Best Feature Film in Telugu for that year, but Fardeen Khan starrer movie was a flop.

Khatta Meetha/Vellanakalude Nadu
Akshay Kumar comedy drama 'Khatta Meetha' was a remake of Priyadarshan's previous 1988 Malayalam film 'Vellanakalude Nadu'. The movie was one of the highest-grossing Malayalam films of the year, however, Kumar's Hindi remake opened to predominantly negative reviews and moderate box office collections.
