This year had a lot of Classic-Hindi Cinema remakes, and more are coming in the future.

I personally hate it. Don was pretty good but Umrao Jaan was bland. I don't really like classics being remaked, like now Sholay is.

What classics you think should REMAIN classics??

I, for one, will revolt and boycott if Mughal-E-Azam or Mother India is remaked😡. Sadly, it's too late for Sholay😭

You said it all! I have nothing to add but I nod in agreement Monica.

Every still from RGV's Sholay looks so pathetic! It wil beat UJ in everything. I hope they don't mess with Mughal E Azam.

Classic should be left alone. They have their own beuty in dem n thus they are called classics. They can never be remade. I feel dat movies like suryvanshm, Mother India and Mughal-E-Azam shouldnt be touched. So even i can just nod in agreement!! 😆
N we have already seen the conditions of the movies that have been remade... 😭

Frankly, i have nothing against remakes. Atleast with re-makes, the younger generation sees these classics. I bet if re-makes weren't made, we would hardly watch these classics.

But, I do have a problem with re-makes which are made in bad taste. The re-make should be such that even the original maker should have something to appreciate it and not something to cry about!

😆 😆 😆 i was telling my friend the other day why they are doing remakes, are they really out of stories? i havent watched old don but didnt like new don 🤢 i am sure the new don was much worse than the old one 🤢 if they do a remake on mother india that would be pathetic since mother india is an old time classic movie and cant imagine its remake being done 😕

they should have left Don, devdas, sholay....etc alone..its was difficult to match amitabh and Dilip kumar from the original...Sharukh tried too hard but. Its impossible to match up with them....FRankly i dont know UJ - i didnt see even the earlier one....

I think they should plan sequels which will leave the original alone and peaceful... 😆

Rmakes of classics should not be seen by having the same expectation in mind. Original is original - look at them as innvative effort of reselling same product with new packaging.

I agree its over done but still better then some new initiatives

Take instances of remixes again original is original but remixes are also hit.

I see no harm and enjoy it... Devdas though way over done personally liked it. New show shaa.. songs, dances, costumes were likeable.

Its great to see you back here, missed you so much since our old .in days together with shin and Rahul.😳

Some classics should remain classics, not no harm in others being made.😳

Sholay shouldnt have been remade, the class of actors is different then, there were a lot of actors+stars in that movie, if only you can put together a similar class, you should even think of remaking

Same case with Devdas
First Devdas has Saigal in it, Saigal had the unique opportunity of singing and acting, that brings a different angle to a movie like Devdas

Dileep Kumar had to make it up all on the acting level

That film defined the acting/singing career of the above two

You cant just throw crores of rupees at costumes/jewellery and make up for that
