Bollywood & remakes
What is it with Bollywood & remakes suddenly ? (No, I am not talking about the hollywood rip-offs or "inspiration") Perhaps, Devdas started the trend (SRK trying to enact the tragic hero which had been immortalized by the "tragic king" , Dilip Kumar). Ram Gopal Verma announced his intentions of remaking "Sholay" with Abhishek playing "veeru" , Amitabh playing "Gabbar" and Mohanlal playing " Thakur" .
Now we hear Farhan Akhtar plans to remake "Don" with Shah Rukh & Kareena. Hope they don't do to these movies what the "remixes" have done to the great old hindi songs !

Seems to be a glossy marketing of the subject what they know already....
Instead of remixing the same story, they are atleast honest in telling that they are remaking it once again.

it'd be foolish to expect these movies to be better than the originals - considering what high standards they set.
at the same tmie, at least the movies will have less pretensions about remaking an old movie, unlike remixes.

All -- Hope the final product turns out to be better than the original !
