"You Can’t Remake Audience's Heart"


We are in the 21st century and if you take a look at some recent movies that hit the silver screen, you will realize how much things have changed. The concept of 'remakes' is nothing new in Bollywood as filmmakers love capitalizing on the emotional appeal of old classics which are still attached in people's mind.

Earlier movies were based on Art films. The songs of that era had meaning but today the Bollywood has change a lot commercial films are made these films are only based for money. Each and every film is remade from either Hollywood or Tollywood. I personally think that filmmakers don’t use their own brains they just copy the concept from other films.

It was all right till the filmmakers used to remake the films but now a new trend has emerged in Indian cinema. Previously remake of films were made but now remake of old songs with addition to western music. This is pathetic to copy from the old classic songs which have touched many audience hearts.

What’s the point of remaking the old classic songs into new western songs? It hurts when you listen to the same songs which are remade into western music and actors dance on same songs doesn't suit them it at all.

OLD vs NEW 
Let me tell you current example when I listened to a new song Naino mein sapna from latest movie called Himatwala which was copied from the old 'Himatwala' movie were Jitendra  and Shreedevi danced on the same song "Naino mein sapna" and that song touched many audience hearts. "Ta thaiya ta thaiya" step of jitendra is still popular among the audience. 
I was shocked to see Ajay Devan and Tamanna dancing on that song with same steps. I am bit very disappointed on current trends which filmmakers are following just to grab to attention of audience.

How the filmmakers can thinks that Ajay and Tamanna would give justice on the same song to touch the audience hearts? At least they should respect the legend actors Jitendra and Shree Devi who brought the Dance platform in Indian cinema.

I am also born in modern generation even I listen to western music but I do have a lot of respect for the old legend classic old songs and evergreen actors who touched my heart through their Song, Dance and Acting.

This is the reason why today's generation have lack of knowledge about the old movies, songs, actors Due to bombarding of western music modern generation are lacking behind to understand the meaningful songs of old Indian cinema.
