Dhruva is a shot-for-shot remake of a Tamil film.
 This is particularly true for films that are remade from films produced in another language such as Point of No Return (from the French La Femme Nikita), Vanilla Sky (from the Spanish Abre los ojos), The Magnificent Seven (from the Japanese Seven Samurai), A Fistful of Dollars (from the Japanese Yojimbo), The Departed (from Hong Kong's Infernal Affairs), Secret in Their Eyes (from the Argentine El secreto de sus ojos), Let Me In (from the Swedish film Let the Right One In or Lt den rtte komma in), and The Ring (from Japanese film Ring)
== Film ==A film remake uses an earlier movie as its main source material, rather than returning to the earlier movie's source material
