We asked five film critics – who suffer it all – about the one film they’d love to see remade, and one they feel shouldn’t ever be touched.
Remaking a classic is risky business. The copy rarely lives up to the original, comparisons are inevitable and fans don’t forgive you. But that hasn’t stopped film-makers: Vashu Bhagnani is remaking two of his hits – Hero No.1 (1997) and Bade Miyan Chote Miyan (1998), and Parineeti Chopra and Diljit Dosanjh will soon be seen in a remake of the 1986 comedy Chameli Ki Shaadi.
