RGV's Aag just released this friday on 31st July. And guess what each and every station spoke about how you should completely avoid going to watch this movie. The reason: though the storyline is similar to Sholay it definitely did not hit home. Forget hitting home, I think it didnt even enter the home! You should read some of the reviews...and no matter apna Ram Gopal Verma said that its not a remake then what in the God's name was this...it wasnt even a spoof.
I think the MTV guys did a good job of spoofing it with Thakur and Jai and Veeru...maybe Verma should take some ideas from the MTV people. To make matters worse, the guys who come out with pirated cds have also refused to make more than 50,000 pirated copies of the same.
In the world of remakes I think it is high time that film makers, directors or whoever it is in the damn film industry this is a request to you as a viewer we love the old story, the characters, everything. Please do not make an attempt to make it again by revamping not only the sets but also the whole character (just look at Amitabh and you know what I mean - I wonder what he must be feeling now)
We saw that for DON, now its RGV ki Aag, which got doused even before it started...and now we still have to wait for Karz...starring none other than apna Himesssh bhai...Gosh....I guess one way or the other this just gives movie writers all the more chance to say a lot more and not wind up their review by saying, "All in all good effort, A actor could have done better, B was excellent, blah blah..." and for them to write a review of Aag, they must be very happy to thrash out each and everyone in this movie.
Heaven help us when Karz or other remake arrives...may the Lord give us enough strength to go through the same :)
