6 Bollywood Remakes Of 2017 And Their Box Office Performance

Bollywood has a knack for remaking old classics or superhit films from regional industries. Every year, we see the release of a number of films that are either adapted from old Hindi classics or are inspired by regional films that were hit at the box-office. Even Hollywood films are now officially being remade in Bollywood.

Earlier, Bollywood would simply rip-off classics, Hollywood films and regional films without even notifying the producers of the original but with changing times, producers and directors are choosing the 'official-remake' route. Remakes also have the capacity to reach a wider audience thanks to Bollywood's unparalleled reach. Here are 5 Bollywood remakes of 2017 and their box-office performance:

Ittefaq: This Siddharth Malhotra-Sonakshi Sinha starrer was a remake of 1969 film of the same name by Yash Chopra and it performed averagely at the box-office with collections of 27.4 Crores.

Poster Boys: The film starred Sunny Deol, Bobby Deol and Shreyas Talpade in the lead and was a remake of Marathi film of the same name. While the Marathi version was a hit, the Hindi version flopped with collections of 11.20 Crores.

Judwaa 2: The film was a remake of the 1997 action-comedy starring Salman Khan and just like the original, it became a super hit with collections of 138 Crores.
