Vaastu Shastra

The Shining & The Grudge
It's an A-Z lift from "The Grudge", while some people believe that it's a rehashed version of "The Shining".
.
Woh Kaun Thi
Vertigo
It is a copy of Alferd Hitchcock's "Vertigo". Even the house in this film is an exact copy of the one from the original.

Yes Boss
The Apartment
The plot is same with change in characters..

Zameen
Air Force One
Although the plane actually lands safely in this Bollywood movie, the events between the hijackers and the protagonist have certainly been taken from AF1, like their demand to release their commander. Part of the BollyCat was in fact inspired by a real life Indian Airlines hijacking

Zeher
Out of Time
The film was reputed to be a direct copy of the film, even the dialogues are translated to Hindi.



Padmashree Laloo Prasad Yadav
A Fish Called Wanda
Most of the scenes are copied.

Partner
Hitch
Same Story.

Phir Milenge
Philadelphia

Taxi Number 9211
Changing Lanes
Same concept.

some more copycats

In the last couple of years alone, Murder took a stab at Unfaithful, and Munnabhai MBBS was within a heartbeat of Patch Adams.
Hollywood films that have been milked include Fatal Attraction (Jurm) and Analyze This (Hum Kise se Kum Nahin).
The stale, oft-repeated and oft-seen story of the Ajay Devgun-Priyanka Chopra-starrer Blackmail is a masala mix of Ransom, Cape Fear, A Perfect World and
Dhoom with John Woo also getting a nod in the action sequences.
Mahesh Manjrekar's Rakht generously borrowed chunks from The Gift, Eyes of Laura Mars and The Sixth Sense.
Hum Tum is a take-off on When Harry Met Sally
while Bunty Aur Bubbly is known for its spoof on Bonny and Clyde.

Ramesh Sippy's Sholay has been taken from four Hollywood hits of which two are The Magnificient Seven and The Four Horsemen of Apocalypse.

Amitabh's Bombay to Goa produced by Mehmood was a lift from the Tuesday Weld starrer If its Tuesday, This Must be Belgium.

Ramesh Sippy's Satte Pe Satta was partly 'inspired' by Seven Brides for Seven Brothers.
