i'm hoping this doesn't happen...don't mind the remake, but i'd rather have mira nair do something original!

i really have to watch munnabhai mbbs again...sure it was better than most hindi films, but was it THAT good?

I thought it was that good and a welcome addition to bollywood cinema. It is just example that bollywood style filmmaking is durable. That's why I liked it so much.

Also the story is also durable enough that a remake can be made out. Yet, it is always interesting to know what how a story could be remade into a different screenplay with such a large cultural difference. Mira Nair seems to be a good candidate for director since she seems to understand these cultural differences pretty well as far as I can tell from her previous work.

I think it is an especially original concept to have a bollywood comedy remade for hollywood. So here's hoping that this does happen.

Personally speaking the movie is "as good as embracing strangers in front of others" - its that embarrassing. If not for the local lingua franca, the movie is a 'typical' bollywood offering, 1st half 'was' engaging , but the 2nd half gave way for too much melodrama.

There has been too many rumors about too many things linking holly-wood and bolly-wood, so unless the paper is inked i will not have high hopes . That said Hollywood seems to be in a BIG slump right now with remakes being released/made and planned so i guess anything is possible.

... I can just see majority of the Indian bollywood producers and directors laughing at that that concept – they would have just copied it scene by scene and claimed it’s original or maybe taken the 'it's marginally inspired by’ philosophy

Ali

it is pathetic, bhed chaal, from hollywood to bollywood to tamil to telugu to hollywood..shit recycles!

And Kannada, but I think even the Kannadigas were watching Chiranjeevi's version

wait till it goes through the full cycle when it remade into bollywood from hollywood again as Return of Munnabhai!

I've been thinking though: Isn't Munnabhbai remade or atleast "inspired" by Robin Williams' "Patch Adams?"

yes it it in every way.

haha remake of a remake; that's a first!
