Yup thats true. You cannot remake legends. The originals are still the
best. Why am i saying this? Well, recently i had a chance to watch the
recently remade bollywood legend "sholay" - "Ram Gopal
Verma ki AAG".

What is wrong with "AAG"? Let me put it this way - it is a
terrible mix of old and new. The movie is simply a very bad version for
sholay. You cannot replace "Gabbar Singh" with "Babban" or "Thakur"
with "mohanlal" or "Veeru" with "Heero" or "Jai" with "Raj" or
"Basanti" with "Ghungroo" or "Dhanno" with "Laila". The original
characters and their names were the best suited. Babban and mohanlal
does not ring at all. Nor could you modernize the dialogues

Orignial - "Kitne Admi the?"
Remake - "Kitne ... Kitne"

It
just does not ring. The final fight sequence is also very sick. And the
mix of original sound track with modern sound track during the final
fight sequence makes things terrible. You cannot remove thakur’s
fingers instead of his hand. And of course the thakur has to kill
gabbar with his special shoes (with nails) rather than kill him with an
axe or whatever...


Finally dont watch it unless you are desperate
