The ‘remake’ is nothing new to Bollywood. While sometimes the adaptation truly has been a disaster, it happened to be otherwise in some cases too. That being said, here we have shared some popular Bollywood films that were inspired by Korean films. Korean pop culture has been getting popular in India now, but with these films, you will realise that the influence has been there long before as mentioned in Jagran.

1. Bharat

Starring Katrina Kaif and Salman Khan, the 2018 movie was an adaptation of the Korean movie ‘Ode to my Father’ which was released back in 2014.

2. Ek Villain

Starring Sidharth Malhotra and Shraddha Kapoor in leads, Ek Villain was a box office hit back in 2010. However, not many know that it was inspired by the Korean movie ‘I saw the devil’.

3. Dhamaka

Starring Kartik Aaryan in the lead, the OTT release was a hit. But did you know that it was adapted from the Korean movie ‘The Terror Live’
which was released back in 2013?

4. Barfi

One of Anurag Basu’s finest creations starring Priyanka Chopra, Ileana D’Cruz and Ranbir Kapoor in lead roles, was adapted from the Korean movie ‘Lover’s Concerto’
