Play it again

Or not.
Have watched Don. And am listening to the songs of new Umrao Jaan.
Much angst.
Why would people take superlative movies and remake them? Sholay, people!
But Farhan Akhtar - why? What could make you think that SRK could play anybody but himself - a scary, ruthless Don for instance?
Here's my take
Hero of the movie: The grey shirt SRK wears for Khaike
Istar : Arjun Rampal - YUMMYYY - and can act
Disaster: SRK in necktie-cum-shirt (WHAT were they thinking?)
Clear Winner: Malaysia - where on earth was the climax shot - I want to go there (How savvy these tourism boards are getting)
OH NOoooo: Can the earth open up and suck in Kareena Kapoor - it is too excrutiating to watch her attempt to do a ... (can't mention the other person's name - it would be sullying it)
Greatly Missed: Farah Khan, what you could have done with those songs
Wasted: Om Puri
OTT: Boman Irani post-interval
ETC: Isha Koppikar, keep track of your legs; Priyanka, where was your 'role'
And Farhan 'sigh' Face off, Con Air and Matrix? Not to mention 'Blah'

I shudder at the thought of Umrao Jaan - I shall not watch any more remakes.

In response to your question: why would people remake superlative movies? Because they're stupid and annoying.
