Some of those are accurate like I've seen Blackbeard's Ghost so Chamatkar does have quite a bit in common. I don't think KKHH took anything from Grease. Grease was set in high school whereas KKHH took inspiration from the Archies comics.

I've seen 42nd Street and Dil To Pagal Hai has virtually nothing in common. There are plenty of Hollywood movies about putting on a show with musical numbers and that's the only connection.

Fools Rush In does have some in common with Chalte Chalte but only because both movies deal with life after marriage. Fools Rush In deals specifically with interracial marriage between white Matthew Perry and Hispanic Salma Hayek.

Wasn't Yes Boss inspired by The Apartment?

I've seen Revenge and yes, Koyla has some in common with it but only a very general premise. 

Cape Fear and Darr have little in common. Only thing is both involve a psychotic character but Cape Fear involves a criminal wanting revenge on the man who he blames for putting him in jail. Darr is about a psychotic lover obsessed. It's more like a gender-swapped Fatal Attraction.

I've seen Broadcast News which is a remake of the classic His Girl Friday. It's about the newspaper business but has nothing else in common with Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani.

I've seen Closer, Divorce American Style, and Brief Encounter and none of those films have anything in common with KANK. All of them deal with adultery or divorce but that's virtually the only common threads.
