Here are different types of remakes that David Dhawan has done.
1. Hollywood inspired – David Dhawan had indianised some Hollyood movies very well. Here are the list of those remakes
Jurrat – The Untouchables Eena Meena Deeka – Three Fugitives(Remade in Malayalam also as “Adheham Enna Idheham) Yaraana – Sleeping with the enemy(there are many versions of it) Deewana Mastana – What about Bob ?(Remade in Tamil as “Tenali” *ing Kamal Hassan, Jayaram) Hum Kisise Kum Nahin – Analyse this Yeh Hain Jalwa – Secrets & Lies(Not sure of it. It was like Khabie Khabie also) Maine Pyar Kyun Kiya – Cactus Flower(Goldie Hawns first film. Remade as “Dil Ka Doctor” also)
2. Old Bollywood inspired – These are remakes of old Bollywood films. Some of them became bigger hits than the originals. Some of the Hindi originals were also remakes of South Indian movies.
Gola Barood – Khan Dost(Shatrughan Sinha, Raj Kapoor) Aag Ka Gola – Himmat(Jeetendra, Mumtaz) Aankhen – Do Phool(Vinod Mehra, Mehmood) Hero No. 1 – Bawarchi(Rajesh Khanna, Jaya Bhaduri) Haseena Maan Jayegi – Pyar Kiye Ja(Shashi Kapoor, Kishore Kumar) Dulhan Hum Lejayenge – Ek Phool Char Kaante(Sunil Dutt)

4. Telugu inspired – Most of the superhit films in Telugu are remade in Hindi. David Dhawan also remade some of them.
Coolie No. 1 – Chinna Alludu (*ing Suman, Rambha, Aamani)Correction made by Jai Judwaa – Hello Brother(*ing Nagarjuna, Ramya Krishnan. Remake of Jackie Chan’s Twin Dragons) Saajan Chale Sasural – Allari Mogudu(*ing Mohan Babu, Meena, Ramya)Correction made by Jaiganesh Mr & Mrs Khiladi – Aa Okkati Adakku(*ing Rajendra Prasad) Banarasi Babu – ……(*ing Jagpati Babu, Ramya. Forgot the name of the movie. But it was remade in Tamil and Kanada also) Loafer – Assembly Rowdy(*ing Mohan Babu)correction made by Jai Kunwara – Bavagaru Bagunnara?(*ing Chiranjeevi. Remake of A Walk in the Clouds) Mujhse Shaadi Korogi – Nee Premaki(*ing Vineeth, Abbas, Laya)correction made by Jai Shaadi No. 1 – Sandade Sandadi(*ing Rajendra Prasad, Jagapati Babu and Sivaji)
5. Bhagyaraj Inspired – Almost all Bhagyaraj’s Tamil films are remade in Hindi. Anil Kapoor played the lead in most of them. I think he must have been the one who introduced David Dhawan to Bhagyaraj. But among these remakes only Raja Babu became a scuccess. Bhagyaraj was given credit for the story in all the films.
Andaz – Sundara Kaandam Raja Babu – Rasukutty Gharwali Baharwali – Veetla Visheshanga(Not sure of the name)
Govinda's sense of comic timing and his dancing ability sets him apart. But his bulk is an eyesore.He needs to lose at least 15-20 kgs of weight to make him look presentable.
Dear Sir, Wasn't it Partner when they worked together last time? Anyway, hope the makers make a genuinely good laugh riot this time. I didnt like Partner, in fact they were much better in the 90s when they made a lot more memorable films: Coolie No.1, Haseena maan jayegi
