Love
In

(1980,2009)
Remember
the
famous
song
'Cham
Chakka'?
It
is
from
the
film
'Love
in

in
the
year
1980.

role.

M
T
Vasudevan

lead
role.
In
2012,
another
movie
with
the
same
name

which
had

Anarkali
(1966,2015)
'Anarkali'
directed
by
Kunchacko
was
one
of
the
best
films
produced
under
the
banner
of
Udaya
pictures.
The
film
had
Prem
Nazir
and
K
R
Vijaya
in
the
lead
roles.
The
same
name
was
later
used
by
Sachy
for
his
directorial
debut
starring
Prithviraj
in
the
lead
role.
This
is
a
common
scenario
in
Bollywood
where
old
films
are
being
remade.
Most
of
the
times
they
opted
for
the
same
title.
Malayalam
films
too,
have
used
the
same
title
while
remaking
movies.
Films
like
'Chattakkaari',
'Neelathamara',
'Rathinirvedam'
etc
had
used
the
same
title
as
of
their
originals.
There
are
also
certain
cases
when
the
title
has
to
remain
the
same.
For
eg:
a
movie
named
Pazhassi
Raja
was
released
in
the
year
1964
which
told
the
life
of
the
king.
MT-Hariharan
team
decided
to
bring
the
life
of
Pazhassi
Raja
on
screen
and
even
though
it
was
not
a
remake,
they
had
to
opt
the
same
title
as
it
was
a
biopic.
Tamil
films,
of
late,
have
started
using
the
titles
of
their
old
films
which
were
super-hits.
These
kind
of
techniques
to
help
in
the
marketing
of
the
film.
