Which Classics should be left alone?


Bollywood seems to have caught classic-remake bug, big time.

First, it was J P Dutta announcing the remake of the film that made Rekha a diva -- Umrao Jaan.


Then, Farhan Akhtar declared he would remake Amitabh Bachchan's classic Don, replacing him with Shah Rukh Khan.


Not to be outdone, Ram Gopal Varma wants to remake the film that has inspired many others -- Sholay.


So what next, Amar Akbar Anthony? Or will it be Mughal-e-Azam?


Which old movies do you not want to see a remake of? Which classic should be left a classic?

The definition of a "classic" can be a hotly debated topic. Depending on what you read, or the experience of the person you question on the topic, you may receive a wide range of answers. So, what is a "classic"--


*A classic usually expresses some artistic quality--an expression of life, truth, and beauty.


*A classic stands the test of time.


*A classic has a certain universal appeal.


*A classic makes connections.


So, what I say is,if it falls in any of the above categories, leave it alone and go find another story to make your movie from....
