Can a remake ever recreate the beauty of the original? Is the remake better in terms of catering to the needs of the regional audience? This is a never-ending debate. Whilst both sides have strong arguments, the audience seems to be reluctant to welcome remakes. Regardless, no amount of pressure from meme-makers and critiques has deterred the Telugu filmmakers from making more remakes from other languages. The trolling remakes face on social media only serve as publicity.
No publicity is bad publicity. The tremors Bheemla Nayak, a remake of the Malayalam film Ayyappanum Koshiyum, has created is a testament to this fact. Some Telugu film fanatics, though ardent lovers of the original, are equally hyped for Bheemla Nayak and so are the Powerstar fans. Comparisons have been drawn and Bheemla Nayak has passed the litmus test of delivering a mass, action-packed superhit.
Many believe remakes are purely for commercial purposes and have no artistic value. Although, the following remakes have tipped the scales in favour of the remake trend in Tollywood. Here is a list of Telugu movies
that changed the way we view remakes:Uma Maheshwara Ugra Rupasya, Venkatesh Maha’s ground-breaking remake of the Malayalam flick, Maheshinte Prathikaaram, has tipped the scales in favour of remakes.
