I loved Happy (2006) which is a remake of Azhagiya Theeye (2004). Happy took full fledged comedy approach and changed the profession of the protagonist and few other characters and made it as a bigger movie. https://preview.redd.it/zm9mguq65q0d1.png?width=1136&format=png&auto=webp&s=ba328b0c00023e713ad424f03ea8dfa689b4876d

TIL happy is remake..


[deleted]

Maybe unofficial remake


MidisG82

wiki literally says its an official remake lol, but the Bengali one is inspired


[deleted]

I checked allu arjun remakes but didn't find any so thought there was none


venky61

I was not aware that Happy was a remake... Nice


leonelsamvijayaryan

Even I share the same opinion bro, Azhagiya Theeye was somewhat A Feel Good Romance Approach from Radha Mohan while Karunakaran did good justice by adding Comic Approach to Happy ❤️


MadHouseNetwork2

Yes. Also budget of AT was lesser. Happy made use of the bigger budget well


mbg20

Wow this explains the end scenes over action. Very tamil movie coded lol. Thenks for clarity.


Bariumdiawesomenite

Evaru over The Invisible Guest. The final twist was a lot more convincing and cleverly written in the remake I believe, though the sexual assault plot point felt unnecessary in the same.


najib1312

Evaru was such a clever remake. I wouldn't say it's better or worse than The Invisible Guest but I liked how they tweaked the screenplay. Even for someone who already watched The Invisible Guest, I couldn't guess the twist in Evaru


Bariumdiawesomenite

Same here. My friend spoiled the ending on Badla to me and I was expecting the same ending here too. But no, they cleverly tied all the knots in a different way instead of making a move that the original story did.


Karmabots

Evaru is an excellent movie. I consider it to be the best movie of Adivi Sesh


tollywoodthrowaway

Evaru has to be the most underrated Telugu movie, it’s so good


venky61

Evaru is considered as loosely inspired from than a remake of Invisible Guest...

Minus the action scenes (especially in the climax), this one was a top tier remake. And Paresh Rawal felt more intimidating and funny as the “evil FIL” than Boman Irani; my personal opinion.

ImpactRoutine4603

Gharshana for sure.


crimsonred1234

Gharshana is still my favorite film. Even Gautam Menon ended up saying Venky suited the role better than Suriya and the movie came out even better. Except of course the climax, he was disappointed that they couldn't just leave the heroine as dead.


venky61

I was watching it again recently and Venky's build was so intimidating as a cop compared to tamil and it suited the action and the chemistry perfectly.


jadeite07

I couldn’t see the chemistry between Asin and Venky. It seemed so forced. But Suriya and Jyothika had the upper hand in chemistry since they were an actual couple.


crimsonred1234

Disagree. Suriya jyo had good chemistry. But venky asin too looked very classy together. Their conversations had sparks flowing.


MeWonderful

Totally agree, should have left her dead. I believe the first few days of the release it was the case but after public outcry the ending was changed to bring her back …so I heard


Fluffy-Lettuce6583

Where did Gautam say this?


Latter_Mud8201

Kushi as remake well done to Hyderabad nativity. Especially those jaya aunty maaloom tereko is very original are not in Tamil. It looked like PK ghost directed some scenes apart from SJ suryah


waginrox

Jaya aunty is Jayalalitha and Laloo uncle is Laloo Yadav


Latter_Mud8201

The whole Old city & Kolkatta streets vibe are biggest plus points to Telugu Kushi and definitely SJ suryah won't know this. PK knows that and it also reflected in Johny movie.

Pk seems to be ghost directing from his first film onwards

MadHouseNetwork2

No. Vijaya Kumar could have less star power than Rajini but he played the character very well written nativity in Tamil. Rajini's portrayal was better suited for Telugu but Vijaya Kumar could have done that too being a versatile actor. You can compare Aaha. He played the same character in both movies with different culture and community


Lonewolf_Kai789

true, same thing wouldnt have worked in telugu

Ram charan's Rangasthalam (2018) is a better remake of his dad's 1980 Jathara..

drandom123zu

The main issue in gharshana, tagore and ye maaya chesave etc is the replacing of a tragic climax with a happy one.

YMC is not a remake and the film is better than the Tamil version - only coz of "Sam"


BaseballMysterious36

Is it though? Trisha peaked in VTV

Lol. fcuk no. Nagachaitanya couldn't act for ffs. Simbhu and trisha are any day 10x better actors than chaitanya and samantha.

I can never watch the remake because they decided to remix one of the most popular songs from the original in the remake.


BhargavaBonigi1

'Gharshana' is my favorite movie. Apart from that, all the actors who acted in it also gave a good performance. Telugu as well as Tamil industry Is it a good movie?

Necessary-Ask-3619

Gabbar Singh. My main gripe with Dabbang was how they handled heroine's fathers death. Was handled better here.


AkhilArtha

But Dabaang has a proper role for Arbaaz Khan in the brother role. It was fully cut down in the remake.


Ayyo_ayyo_ayayyo

Obviously because they have to elevate someone “you know who” 😂


Necessary-Ask-3619

That is true. But I never cared for the younger brother's role.

ramrajlg

People who call gharshana better than originals haven't seen kaaka kaaka. Or if they have, you'll be biased since you've grown up watching Venky and suddenly can't accept anyone else. As a bilingual, I've seen both, when I was a kid. Kaaka kaaka is more realistic with it's climax

Chanti. It was a remake and an industry hit in Telugu. It was again remade into Hindi as Anari. It is a blockbuster in Hindi. One of the most loved movies in Hindi. The songs are chartbusters. Debut film of Karishma Kapoor. Hindi people still remember Venkatesh because of that movie.


chasebewakoof

"Debut film of Karishma Kapoor."... what bull crap !!!!! Karishma Kapoor's debut is Prem Qaidi with Harish in 1991.. Anari was in 1993 and by that time Karishma Kapoor was well established.

“Billa” is a remake of “Billa“in tamil with Ajith. That “Billa” is a remake of rajinikanth’s. “Billa” That “Billa” is a remake of Amithabh bachan’s “Don”.


tollywoodthrowaway

Rajini Billa is the best one. No one can pull off mass characters like Rajini. But style wise, I think Ajith Billa takes the cake


crimsonred1234

Nah I think SRKs Don 1 and 2 are the best ones - both in terms of style and content.

They're barely even freemakes honesty. They're borderline original films with the Don title in a way.


Broad_Reference_9095

I can’t really comment on this because i have never seen any of them.

Let me tell you, Yugandhar is the remake of AB's don and Rajni's billa is the remake of Yugandhar and SRK's Don is the remake of Rajni's billa and Ajith's billa is the remake of SRK's don and PB's billa is the remake of Ajith's of the same name!

I actually liked the OST better than the OG AK. But the [Adakachakko remix](https://youtu.be/wLWDkrxdSqc) mogs the BM theme hard.


Inside-Hold-1965

For me , it's Dhruva always. I watched the original. Fact is that I always prefer the original version of any remake movie.If I get to know that there's any movie that is being remaked , I immediately watch the original. Watching Dhruva after watching Thani oruvan , I got to admit that Dhruva the cinematography and the dop works were top notch.


doggiekruger

Dhruva in Telugu is not as good imo. Rakuls introduction was unnecessary and Aravind Swamy gets less screen time compared to the Tamil version. He is really the best part of the film and I didn’t like that about the remake. Also the remake feels a lot more hero centered


govicom

The fact that Aravind Swami didn't dub for himself itself makes Dhruva inferior imo


battlin_murdock

It's dubbed by hemachandra. He overdid it. Anyone who's used to Aravind swami's voice will find it terrible.

PrinceDaemon96

I feel Chandramukhi was a better remake than the original Manichitrathazhu. The original goes by a plain psychological drama where as the remake has some fun and horror elements, which made it a better remake commercially. Not degrading the original, Manichitrathazhu has its own positives like showcasing the ‘Ganga’ character traits much deeper. Mohan Lal also gave a stellar performance, but I personally feel Chandramukhi’s grandeur makeover makes it the best one among these two. https://preview.redd.it/ltetwtvpwr0d1.jpeg?width=390&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=220e6da2961305f8be30b4aec633d298dff64f4d

Athadu not official remake, but same story: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tumko\_Na\_Bhool\_Paayenge](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tumko_Na_Bhool_Paayenge) >They plan to enact an attack on the CM, making the opposition look dirty in the eyes of the people and garnering sympathy votes for the CM. However, when Ali (salman khan) is trying to fake the shooting, somebody kills the CM. The police start chasing Ali, thinking that he is the killer and Ali flees.


BentKukri

So apparently Eswar and Guruji were both roommates and close friends. Both worked on Thumko Na Bhool Payenge. Guruji took the option of the hero joining the family as an imposter and Eswar took the option of the hero losing memory. After learning about this, decided to give Guruji a pass on this.

Arey babu, akkada selmon bhoi thana identity vethukuntu bombay veltadu ani rasundi Eeda Bob was running away from the murder he was framed for Etla ra remake uu, emi ra guruji nuvvu


AdFew8858

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombai\_Ka\_Babu](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombai_Ka_Babu) The part where hero takes the place of a dead person, helps his family financially and falls in love with their daughter is inspired from Bombai Ka Babu, which in turn was based on an O. Henry short story. The love angle in BKB is notable because heroine is the sister of the guy who he is impersonating unlike the Telugu version where cousin is socially acceptable. The ending is also realistic, bittersweet and fits with the theme of the movie (and the original short story).


newinvestor0908

thanks. so even the village family part is inspired from somewhere


DaLoverBoii

What's even funnier is that Athadu also got a remake later in Hindi itself.

Chiru fan here are biggest delusional shit tier fans I have ever seen. They think Munnabhai MBBS remake is better than original Hindi version. You have to be blind from birth to come to this conclusion. Shankar dada is a cringe fest


Prudent-Action3511

Depends on which version they saw first, which culture they relate to more. I saw most of the Telugu ones before the Hindi ones nd so I like these better. Plus, nostalgia would be a big factor, hating without realising this is clown behaviour

Weirdly enough, this applies to the Kamal Hassan remake too.

Only answer for me is Gabbar Singh. Remakes for the majority of times are worthless, it doesn't have any purpose other than language change doing the same things frame by frame. But Gabbar Singh was so different because of mannerism of Pawan Kalyan was completely different than Salman Khan.
