A little boy is a source from where the Kabir Khan’s Tubelight was adapted.

Little boy’s character pepper was mocked because of his tiny stature, and his father was the only one who would support him and taught him to have faith in himself.

Again, the filmmakers denied that it was a remake of another movie, but nothing can remain concealed because of the hawkish eyes of the internet.

10. Dil Bechara (2020) - The Fault In Our Stars (2014)

Dil Bechara is a fair remake of the Hollywood movie based on the john greens novel, the fault in our stars. Both Manny and Kizzie have a terminal illness and they struggle to survive it.
