Hollywood To Bollywood

I have watched so many movies in past 10 odd months - both American and Hindi. Every once in a while I stumble upon an American movie and I think I have seen a similar Hindi movie and vice-verse. In most of those(I can say all but will stick to most) cases, the Hindi movie is a copy/inspiration of the American movie. I am going to compile the list and add the tag Hollywood to Bollywood for all of them.

Here goes my first list:

Woodstock Villa(2008) - Vertigo(1958)
Anamika(2008) - Rebecca(1940)
Shaurya (2008) - A Few Good Men(1992)
Munnabhai M.B.B.S. - One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest(1975) (Yes, even I coudn't believe it)
Mann (1999) - An Affair To Remember(1954)
Akele Hum Akele Tum(1995) - Kramer vs. Kramer (1979)
Chori Chori Chupke Chupke(2001) - Pretty Woman(1990)
Aitraaz(2004) - Disclosure(1994)
Pyaar Ka Saaya(1991) - Ghost(1990)
Partner(2007) - Hitch(2005)
God Tussi Great Ho(2008) - Bruce Almighty(2003)
Mere Yaar Ki Shaadi Hain - My Best Friend's Wedding(1997)
Kaante(2002) - Reservoir Dogs(1992) and The Usual Suspects(1995)
Chocolate(2005) - The Usual Suspects(1995)
Musafir(2004) - U Turn(1997)

I am sure I will be able to add a lot to this list in future.
