Not only Khoobsurat is a classic that should've never been touched (they already did that with that hideous 2014 remake/reboot), but Alia has zero qualities to pull off a role like that Rekha did so beautifully.
We also don't have filmmakers like Hrishikesh Mukherjee anymore.
The other Rekha film that could've/should've been remade is Khoon Bhari Maang.👍🏼
I know Kangana is a psychopath in real life, but during her heydays she would've nailed Rekha's dual role from the film⭐️.
Just modernize the story a bit, reduce the melodrama, remove the cringe parts from the original, and remake a few songs.... and there you go. If done right, it could've been a successful revenge thriller.😆
They could sill do it, but Kangana's image has become way too negative in the public.
Honestly I don't think Khoon Bhari Maang should be remade, mainly because it's become a huge cult classic. In fact, similar to this, 15 years ago a remake of Guide was commissioned, but the project was abandoned. No remake will ever be able to live up to Guide's cult classic status. Similarly, KBM is the Rekha movie for cinebuffs.
If there was a movie that should be remade I would pick a lot of the 90s/00s noir cinema movies that were actually forgotten, however I'd wish the directors came back too with the remake so that the adaptation could be given due justice.
I would love to see Lajja remade/a movie that is a spiritual sequel to it - however I'd want to see some of the storylines altered. The actresses were very good, however I feel like the movie premise was forgotten and not as appreciated as it could have been.
I want to see, out of all older movies, the Jewel Thief remade. Not because the original isn't amazing but the story is quite purposeful.
Dil Se except remove SRK's stalker persona.
Lakshya - although I'd want a spiritual sequel, not a remake of such a new film.
Sanju needs to be remade with facts.
I believe one day that a remake of Lamhe will happen (not that I want it, but it is guaranteed to happen). The audience will accept the story this time around. If the OG would have been released in the 2010s it would have become a massive hit.
