Here is why a of The Pursuit of Happyness wouldn’t just work—it would redefine heroism for the Indian middle class.
In the West, homelessness is a fall from grace. In India, it is often a statistical inevitability for the poor. For a Hindi film hero, the "Pursuit" isn't just about getting rich; it is about izzat (honor).
In the American version, the villain is bad luck. In the Hindi version, the villain is the System —the corrupt broker who takes the deposit, the school that won't admit the child without an address, the relative who refuses to lend money because "it's your karma."
(My vote: Irrfan Khan’s soul in a younger body, like Vikrant Massey). Note: If you meant an actual existing Hindi movie similar to this theme, check out 'Kaamyaab' (2018) or 'Ankhon Dekhi' (2014) for that same quiet desperation and triumph.
When the hero finally walks out of that brokerage firm (or a BPO/IT company in Gurgaon), the applause wouldn't just be for the salary. It would be for surviving a country where 100 people apply for every one seat.
