Remakes are having a terrible time in post-covid Bollywood. Shehzada, the remake of Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo starring the in-form kartik aaryan, is the most recent casualty. Last year, when he released the smash hit Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, kartik aaryan proved to be Bollywood's savior. Thus, the trade anticipated that kartik aaryan would once again produce a good movie and maintain the momentum set by the massive success of Pathaan. But Shehzada ended up being a complete letdown. The movie only made 20 crores rupees in its opening weekend. The movie is expected to gross between 35 and 40 crores rupees over its lifetime.
The north audience viewed Allu Arjun's Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo (with subtitles) on OTT platforms after Pushpa's enormous popularity, but they were never interested in seeing kartik aaryan recast in the part of Allu Arjun. As a result, the remake was a complete failure. In the coming weeks, two more South-remake movies will be released. This week sees the release of Akshay Kumar's Selfie, a remake of the popular malayalam film Driving License. Despite extensive publicity from the cast and crew, the movie has little buzz. The movie will have a hard time breaking into the double digits on its opening day.
Ajay Devgn will soon release Bholaa, an adaptation of the popular tamil film Kaithi. Devgn is the only actor to have recently produced a blockbuster with a remake movie. The trade anticipates that he will accomplish this achievement once more with Bholaa. Due to its interesting teaser, the movie is currently generating a respectable amount of buzz. Whether this buzz results in ticket sales remains to be seen.
Love Today, the sleeper blockbuster from pradeep Ranganathan, would be remade in Hindi, it was reported yesterday. bollywood needs to wake up and understand that remakes are no longer a sure thing. Thanks to OTT channels, audiences are now exposed to films from all over the world. They don't want to waste their time and money on a remake of a movie that they can view for free on their laptops, TVs, and smartphones.
