Remaking this kind of movie in todays time...I don't see any sense in that.

To me, it feels like 'wanting to ride on somebody else's success' and 'being too lazy/insecure to try your hand in something original'...not good at all

but Dryisham remakes works well

South kay indigestible gandd kay siwa kuch nahi milta Hindi cinema ko?

Why such a shameful dearth of writers and original ideas ?

Yes...but it had been in 2015 (the remake of the 2013 Malayalam original)...at that time, Covid with the changing viewer attitude because of lockdowns and isolation and streaming platforms easily available was still far away and the gap between Hindi Cinema and South Indian Cinema still quite prominent.

As Ajay and Tabu had made a successful remake, the next one with Drishyam 2 in 2022 profited from this epecially as it was a continuation in the story.

Shaitaan released this year, it was also a remake and it worked

Right. But it had been the remake of an almost unknown Gujarati (gloomy) horror movie which got made into a happy ending religiously-leaning 'horror' movie...basically many scenes got copied (with the same actress playing the girl) but the intelligent story of the original got changed and the sense completely deluted (which hadn't been the case for Drishyam). Obviously Ajay had to be the 'usual' Hindi Cinema hero.

I doubt that the general audience going to the movies care about original/remake...they want to watch a movie that entertains them...and t h a t Shaitaan did
