The brilliance of Alfred Hitchcock is no surprise to any cinematic lover who appreciates a well-written mystery. The English director, writer and producer has some insane work to his credit and is one of the biggest names in the history of entertainment. With a plethora of work to his credit, it is no surprise that some of his genius was an inspiration for many more movie makers, including in Bollywood. However, not all copies are a form of good flattery and these 4 thrillers are proof:

This super hit and gripping thriller was remade as Soch and starred Arbaaz Khan, Raveena Tandon and Sanjay Kapoor in the lead roles. The story follows an actor called Raj who has a possessive wife whose insecurities knows no bounds. As the insecure wife is eventually murdered, all fingers point at Raj and the mystery begins.

In case you never wondered, then this well-written movie was a direct inspiration for Inaam Dus Hazaar starring Sanjay Dutt and Meenakshi Seshadri which follows the story of Kamal who is mistaken to be an CID agent by a gang of goons and eventually is being hunted by the police as well.

Alfred's award-winning psychological thriller which was also his first American project was copied in 1964 as Kohra starring Waheeda Rehman and Biswajeet. The story follows the story of Amit and Rajeshwari who move to his mansion after their wedding and eventually the wife discovers that the mansion is haunted by his ex-wife's spirit.

The Dimple Kapadia-starrer Aitbaar was inspired from this mystery movie. The story follows a married woman who cannot decide whether she should stay with her abusive husband or her ex lover. The wife is eventually framed for murder as the mystery unfolds.

In Daphne Du Maurier's 1938 novel Rebecca, a young woman marries a wealthy, much older widower, only to find herself increasingly haunted by thoughts of his late former wife. Biren Nag's 1964 uncredited adaptation, starring Waheeda Rehman, Biswajit Chatterjee and Lalita Pawar, makes the ghosts more literal.

The director wasn't the first to tackle the book or the last one to Indianize its setting. Its timeless themes of betrayal and obsession have lent themselves to years of film and television adaptations, beginning with Alfred Hitchcock's in 1940. His Oscar-winning, largely faithful take on the source novel starred Laurence Olivier as Max de Winter and Joan Fontaine as his new wife. In 2008, Anant Mahadevan's Anamika set the story in Rajasthan and reimagined the love story as one between an industrialist (Dino Morea) and an escort (Minissha Lamba). The latest adaptation of Rebecca, directed by Ben Wheatley and starring Armie Hammer and Lily James, will release on Netflix on September 21.

Du Maurier's novel is a masterclass in suspense, where the boogeyman that lurks in the darkest recesses of Max's new wife's mind is reflected in the dcor of his labyrinthine estate, Manderly. There are reminders of his first wife, Rebecca, in the drawers that contain her belongings, a family portrait that matches a fancy dress costume she once designed and the raging sea outside, where she drowned. Though his new wife narrates the story, she's so consumed by thoughts of measuring up to Rebecca, her own identity takes a backseat and she's known only as 'the second Mrs. de Winter', even in her own internal monologues. Her inherent clumsiness only grows worse in the face of repeated comments about her predecessor's grace and poise. Eventually, she grows more miserable, trapped in a prison of the first Mrs. de Winter's image.

In comparison, Nag's film, Kohraa, has its moments of psychological tension, but eschews much of what makes the novel so memorable. He transports the setting to Pratapgarh and turns Max de Winter into the wealthy businessman Amit Singh (Biswajeet Chatterjee), who rescues the orphaned Rajeshwari (Waheeda Rehman) from being married off to her landlord's mentally ill son as a means of curing him (ah, Bollywood.)

In giving his protagonist a name, Nag expands her identity beyond the shadow of her husband's former wife. Rajeshwari is not painfully shy, like her counterpart in the novel is. Though initially overwhelmed by the demands of running a mansion, she's a lot more assertive with the servants. Nag doesn't let the character's unease simmer as it does in the novel, propelled by her husband's stony silences, onto which she projects her own feelings of self-doubt, and his reluctance to talk about his late wife, which she misinterprets as him still being in love with her. Instead, Amit is a lot more playful and affectionate. It's hard to imagine the stoic Max serenading her with 'Rah Bani Khud Manzil' as he does.

Another major source of tension for the narrator in the novel is the constant presence of the housekeeper Mrs. Danvers, whose slavish devotion to Rebecca borders on obsession. Hitchcock played up the homoerotic undertones of this servant-mistress relationship, including a scene in which Danvers caresses the dead Rebecca's lingerie. Nag veers away from this, depicting the housekeeper as a pious woman dressed in all-white, clutching prayer beads and mumbling 'Narayan Narayan' for most of the film. Like the housekeeper in the novel, however, she preys on the new wife's feelings of inadequacy by repeatedly making unfavorable comparisons to her predecessor.

In one particularly cruel scene in the novel, Mrs. Danvers unsettles the new wife by whispering taunts and then coaxing her to commit suicide by jumping off the balcony. Kohraa relegates the role of the bully to the ghost of the late Mrs. Singh instead, which chases Rajeshwari to the edge of the foggy terrace and insists that she jump.

The scene illustrates how, in the absence of formidable human antagonists, Nag relies on the presence of a spectre to drum up scares. When Rajeshwari first discovers that she's living with a lot more than just the memory of the late Mrs Singh, it's while snooping around her vacant bedroom. The bedsheets move, a window is thrown open and a woman's shrill laugh rings out. She flees, but eventually returns and sees wet footprints that lead her to an apparition.
