10 Iconic Bollywood Movies That Should Never Be Remade

Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge celebrated on Mumbai's Marath Mandir's screen, an iconic blockbuster film that has been running in theatre for over 19 years.

Never has any film been shown in any theatres for this long time and turns out the owners of Marath Mandir have no plans of removing the Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge movie from there as well.

The film was debut-directed by Aditya Chopra and released on Oct 20, 1995 starring Shahrukh Khan and Kajol in lead roles. The film had it all, love, action, melodrama, romance, comedy, thrills, songs and dance. Some of the iconic scenes from the movie are still copied in modern Bollywood films.

DDLJ had a very simple story, there was a fun loving London-based Punjabi boy Raj who coincidentally meets an Indian simpleton Simran (Kajol) during an European holiday. Love blossoms between the two, but winning over the girl's conservative family was not a cakewalk for the hero, who then after a lot of hard-work and fight scenes managed to take his bride with him.

Actors like Kareena Kapoor are such fans of the film that they themselves have watched it over 10 times. Even today filmmakers seeks inspiration from this movie, like Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania which had Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt in the lead roles.

While many films can be made seeking inspiration from this movie, it is extremely hard to be remaking such a classic, cult movie. Some classics like DDLJ should never be remade, a sequel sounds interesting but no remakes at any cost.

Not just DDLJ, several iconic films are just so perfectly made that there is no need for them to be remade. They can not make a better movie and so should rather stay away from even trying to remake it.
