Covering Bollywood and the Hindi Cinema

Bollywood has been bitten badly by the remake bug and as an audience we don’t know what to make of it. I may be looking forward to Don - The Chase but in all honesty I am dreading the remake of Sholay! According to some sources it is the seventies blockbuster Karz which is now going to be seen in a new avatar. But looks like it’s in good hands as Shah Rukh and Farah Khan will be behind it. The king Khan will essay Rishi Kapoor’s role while Deepika Padukone will play Tina Munim’s part. I bet your wondering who is going to be in Simi Garewal’s shoes? Well according to rumors it’s going to be none other than our very own Sushmita Sen! So what do you think about the cast and are you happy about yet another remake? BTW Karz itself was a remake of the famous Hollywood movie ‘Reincarnation Of Peter Proud’!
