Here’s a look at some of the remakes of Southern movies that have become complete disasters in Bollywood.

2. Jersey
South Movie Jersey’s namesake is similar to Shahid Kapoor’s latest release.
3. Hit: first case

Four. nikamma
Nikamma is one of the biggest disasters of 2022. The film was a remake of Nan and Sai Pallavi’s middle class Abhay and was a huge hit in theaters. However, the Bollywood remake was a fiasco because it failed to capture the essence of the commercial adventure.
Five. mm
