Best Indian Remakes of Spanish Movies

Remaking films and TV shows have always been common in the entertainment industry. But let’s all be honest, not all remakes are as good or better than the originals. If you like Spanish movies and TV series and Bollywood like we do, you will probably appreciate these Indian remakes that we’ve listed just for you. Over the years, there’s not been a lot of Indian remakes of Spanish movies, but there are enough to keep fans asking for more.

So in this blog post, we’ll be sharing five of the best Indian remakes of Spanish films. Some might be familiar to you if you have a dedicated Spanish streaming service at home like Go Latino TV, as some of these films are airing on specific channels. Let’s begin!

Since Spanish cinema is known for world-class mystery and thriller films, Bollywood has taken full advantage of it by remaking The Body. This movie is about a wealthy businesswoman, Maya Verma, who dies because of a heart attack. Her husband, Ajay Puri, seems relieved by her death but things take a turn when Maya's body disappears from the morgue.

An inspector who has a troubling past was assigned to the case, but upon investigating, he started discovering lies and an affair that might lead to the exposure of the real reason behind Maya’s death.

This remake takes inspiration from the chilling Spanish film The Hidden Face (La cara oculta). The film is all about Vikram, a successful photographer who seems to have it all – looks to die for, a successful career, and a new beautiful love interest named Nisha. Because of the strong feelings they have for each other, they decided to move into an old mansion. Nisha started experiencing strange stuff happening, like unexplained noises, flickering lights, and more – a recipe for a haunted house.

This film can be watched on other streaming platforms. And if you’re not sure where, you can look into Sling TV packages as they offer a wide variety of channels that air bollywood content.

Let’s take a break from the dark and scary stories. The next on our list is the 2016 comedy thriller Game. The story of this movie revolves around Gautham who is a rich businessman living a life others dream of. One morning, he wakes up to find a dead body in his living room. The worst part? It’s not just any dead body, it’s a local politician’s son.

While this movie is an unofficial remake of Box 507, it made its way to our list because we think that this remake is as brilliant as the original one. John Day is about a man of the same name who’s a bank manager working at Royal Citizen Co-operative Bank. John is married to Maria Day, a depressed woman who won’t open up to anyone. One day, her wife was kidnapped while at home then called John, later revealing that they were a part of a planned heist. Just make sure to have a stable connection from a reputable internet provider.

This suspenseful courtroom drama is inspired by the acclaimed Spanish thriller The Invisible Guest (Contratiempo). It’s about a young woman named Naina Sethi who’s on trial for murdering her wealthy lover, Arman Kapoor. Naina insists on her innocence, but with seemingly incriminating evidence against her, the case appears bleak. Will she be proved innocent or will a shocking truth come to light?
