Here I have collected the Tamil movies that have copied from hollywood movies. Some movies were copied from other language movies such as German, French too. Some movies have scene by scene copy from hollywood movie and in some movies only the plot has been extracted. Few movies listed here were
accepted by directors that the movie is remade from the hollywood movie. Some directors never accept that they have copied even we have several proofs.
Not all the Tamil copied movies were blockbuster. Only talented director like K.S.Ravikumar, Sundar C reached their goal. From this list it is clear that we can give Biggest Tamil copycat award to K.S.Ravikumar. He copied many movies which are not included in the list. Emerging copycat award goes to Gautham Vasudev Menon, he is very talented guy choosing only the main theme of the movie and present that in Tamil. That makes us to confuse whether this movie is copied or not.
We can leave the directors who succeed by copying movies from Hollywood. There are some directors who delivered poor movie even after copying. Those Tamil directors were fit for nothing.
The list of Kollywood Copycat Movie goes below:
