The Legacy: How Taken Influenced Bollywood

It is impossible to discuss the Taken franchise in India without acknowledging its impact on Bollywood. Post-2010, several Hindi films attempted the "retired super-agent saves family" trope. Movies like Jazbaa (starring Aishwarya Rai Bachchan) and Naam Shabana borrowed heavily from the structure of Taken. Even Akshay Kumar’s Holiday: A Soldier Is Never Off Duty drew visual and narrative inspiration from the film.

Furthermore, the rise of "realistic action" in Bollywood, as seen in Baby and Uri: The Surgical Strike, owes a silent debt to Pierre Morel's gritty, documentary-style action direction in Taken—a style that Indian audiences first appreciated through the Hindi dub.
