It’s not just foreign TV shows that production houses look to for inspiration for new serials. There are plenty of serials that have been inspired by films as well. We take a look at some of them.



Sapna Babul Ka Bidaai

The story revolves around the dusky Ragini (Parul Chauhan) who faces problems because of her complexion, especially while getting married. It is currently one of the most popular shows on TV and is inspired by 2006’s hit movie Vivaah, starring Shahid Kapur and Amrita Rao.

Vivaah is the story of Prem (Kapur), an upper-class business manager, and Poonam (Amrita Rao), a middleclass college student. It is set in Delhi and Poonam is from the fictional town of Madhupur, just like Ragini from the serial. In the show too, Ragini gets married to the rich Ranbir, played by Kinshuk Mahajan.
