It really depends on what movie is remade, and the storyline and who's acting in it, the originals are really well done, but yes a remake may make it more interesting and different if a slightly different story was introduced or if they added some new elements into it.

Can the actors playing in a remake live upto the expectations?

Depends on the movie and story, yes I think actors in the remakes can live upto expectations, it really depends on the movie, if the story is changed or if something new is introduced, also who's acting in the film, in my opinion since they are remaking Don, the best choice for the title role is Shahrukh and he will do a nice job, so it really depends on how they make the movie.

Doesn't everyone expect more from such actors and actresses?

Yes everyone does expect more, something even bigger and better, there is a lot of pressure on the actors since pple expect it to be better or as good as the original.

Don't we automatically try to compare the actors of the original movie and the remake?

Yes we do tend to do that, i think we should give the actor's a chance, yes its hard not to compare.

i agree with u 👏

Nope. I dun think that Ash can ever do justice to her role in Umrao Jaan. The original is soo much better. Ash can never protray that much emotions and talk with her eyes and all. As much as i love SRK, i dont think he will do justice to AB as DON *hopes laks or eishu arent around to catch me on this statement*😳😆

😆 how sweet!!!! 😳

Never...ORIGINAL IS ORIGINAL...👏A DUPLICATE IS NOTHING BUT A CLONE!!!😆 People may say..."we make remakes to make the audience today familiar with such great classics!!!". But actually, only great movies which are as contemporary as ever are remade...see Don, Devdas, Sholay or Umrao Jaan...They are all as well today as ever. The actual reason is that diractors are simply running out of ideas...and they say "this is a challenge for me!' and stuff🤢. Duplicate will remain the duplicate...The original is the original...no base in comparing..no remake till date has been as good as the original...

Can the actors playing in a remake live upto the expectations?

That depends on the talent of the actor and how hard he/she works...I agree with what srk_kadz said...No one can do a better job in any Big B film!!!😳👏👏 he truly is the God of Cinema!{SRK truly will ruin my Don!!1😭...hey...no offense yaar...just my view!!!1}

Doesn't everyone expect more from such actors and actresses?

yeah they do...but often people are disheartened..well I would say..I am

Don't we automatically try to compare the actors of the original movie and the remake?

yes...that is natural...

Yes. They will be compared to the original and that comparison is valid. I mean with the release of DON, everyone is going to be saying how AB was better than SRK (trust me, the other way - its not going to happen) and all.

*gulps* laks, dont call eishu here, mere toh vaat lag jayegi! 😳😆😆 SRK IS MINE! yeppieee 🤗

Lol actually to counter that Laks, i said that PEOPLE are going to say AB is better than SRK. Now what people say need not always be true. Even if SRK does a better job than AB, the industry isn't going to praise SRK the way they praise AB. Simply because AB is older and well sort of the godfather of the industry. Its an unspoken rule that u shouldn't defy or stand up against the older generation and the 'Shenshah of Bollywood'. So the point is, even if SRK does a better job, he wont be recognised simply because the original exists!

I hope this saves me from the wrath of eishu though its going to get me the wrath of Laks again! 😳😆😆

**And Khushi, i take back my statement, not a good DOTW, its just meant to get me into trouble nah? 😭😆😆**

ha ha sneha...I guess we better not discuss it here...anyways...Loook at Big B dancing in my avi...Thats Kiake Paan Banaraswala as u may noe 😉 can SRK ever do it??? 😆 😆 man...sneha I dun have any wrath on u...jab ki I know SRK is no where near AB!!!😳😊

Anyways...so I think Remakes dont show justice to the original...in fact the strengthen the fact that Orginal is the Original!!! 👏 👏 👏 Just like SRK can never do an AB...Aishwarya cant do a Rekha...esp Umrao Jaan is such a great one. 👏

generally i dont think remakes even come close to matching the original... many of these remakes have annoyed me a great deal 😡 ... but i have to say, i enjoyed the devdas remake more than i enjoyed the original 😳 ... therefore, i think we should give remakes a fair chance 😉
