Bollywood's 'Indecent Proposal': 3 Flops, 1 Blockbuster!

• Four Bollywood films were based on the Hollywood hit 'Indecent Proposal', but only one achieved success.
• 'Sauda' (1995), 'Karobaar: The Business of Love' (2000), and 'Sauda: The Deal' (2005) all flopped, failing to resonate with audiences despite similar plots.
• 'Judaai' (1997), starring Sridevi, Anil Kapoor, and Urmila Matondkar, became a superhit by cleverly Indianizing the original story.
• Instead of a rich man buying a wife, 'Judaai' featured a money-hungry wife selling her husband, a twist that appealed to Indian sensibilities.
• 'Judaai's' success was also boosted by popular music, memorable dialogues like 'Abba-Dabba-Jabba', and strong box office performance.

Why It Matters: 'Judaai' proved that intelligent 'Indianization' of a foreign story is crucial for Bollywood success.
