Top ten rewatchable movies

 These are the top ten rewatchable movies according to me.

Anand (1971): If you haven't seen Anand, you have missed out on a gem of Indian cinema. Absolute poetry in dialogues.

Amar Akbar Anthony (1977): Absolute illogical movie but the peak of masala films. Very enjoyable.

Veer Zaara (2004): One of the best romantic films of Bollywood. Romantic films generally loose stream after a few years but not this one.

Anbe Shivam (2003): Unfortunate flop but a delightful film. Kamal Hassan and Madhavan give delightful performance in this heartfelt movie.

Baasha (1995): Partly inspired by Amitabh's Hum, but way better than its source material. Highly entertaining.

Golmaal (1979): Hrishikesh Mukherjee movies are some of the most watchable movies again and again for its simplicity. Hilarious film with excellent performances.

Chak De India (2007): I believe one of the best sports movie of Indian cinema. It is inspiring, entertaining and thought provoking at the same time.

Munna Bhai MBBS (2003): Again a very delightful and thought provoking film. It gets better with each viewing.

3 Idiots (2009): Very well written screenplay. Makes you laugh and cry alternatively.

Piku (2015): You can't make a better film on constipation. Feel Good film which makes you chuckle and yet feel connected with the characters in an emotional level.

Few of the best Kannada remakes of Telugu films are as follows in Alphabetical Order.

 Aishwarya (2006) - Upendra, Deepika Padukone and Daisy Bopanna

This movie is a remake of the classic telugu movie Manmadhudu (2002) starring Nagarjuna, Sonali Bendre and Anshu. This happens to be the first movie of Deepika Padukone. Though this movie is a hit movie and is one of the top hit Kannada movies of 2006, it fails to hold the cult status that the original movie Manmadhudu holds.

Ajay (2006) - Puneeth Rajkumar and Anuradha Mehta

This hit movie is a remake of the telugu movie Okkadu (2003) starring Mahesh Babu and Bhumika Chawla. Like majority of his movies, this also happens to be one of the hit movies of Puneeth Rajkumar.

Brindavana (2013) - Darshan, Karthika Nair and Milana Nagaraj

This is a remake of the the Telugu film Brindavanam (2010) starring N. T. Rama Rao Jr., Kajal Aggarwal and Samantha Ruth Prabhu. This happens to be a hit movie. I’ve watched both the movies and can confidently tell that the Telugu version is way better. Jr. NTR’s rapo with the female leads and the supporting actors, Prakash Raj’s acting and the comic timing of Bramhanandam, Venu Madhav and other comedians is amazing. Sometimes I still wonder how this movie is a hit (maybe because of Darshan’s fan following). This is not the best remake according to me but I’ve added this in the list due to the fact that it was a hit.

Gaja (2008) - Darshan and Navya Nair

This movie is a remake of the telugu movie Bhadra (2005) starring Ravi Teja and Meera Jasmine.

Kathe Chitrakathe Nirdeshana Puttanna (2016) - Priyamani and Komal Kumar

This movie is a remake of the Telugu movie Geethanjali (2014) starring Anjali and Srinivasa Reddy. This happens to be one of the few hit films that does not have any big stars and is a hit truly based on the story and comedy.

Khushi Khushiyagi (2015) - Ganesh and Amulya

This movie is the remake of the Telugu movie Gunde Jaari Gallanthayyinde (2013) starring Nitin and Nitya Menen

Maanikya (2014) - Sudeep, V. Ravichandran, Varalaxmi Sarathkumar and Ranya Rao

This movie is the remake of the Telugu movie Mirchi (2013) starring Prabhas, Anushka Shetty and Richa Gangopadhyay.

Maurya (2004) - Puneeth Rajkumar and Meera Jasmine

This movie is a remake of the Telugu movie Amma Nanna O Tamil Ammayi (2003) starring Ravi Teja and Asin. Both the movies were one of the biggest hits in the respective year of release.

Porki (2010) - Darshan and Pranitha Subhash

This movie is a remake of the Telugu movie Poriki (2006) starring Mahesh Babu and Illeana D’Cruz. The Telugu version holds the cult status but I am not sure about the Kannada version.

Power (2014) - Puneeth Rajkumar and Trisha

This movie is the remake of the Telugu movie Dookudu (2012) starring Mahesh Babu and Samantha Ruth Prabhu.

Ranna (2015) - Sudeep, Rachita Ram and Haripriya

This movie is a remake of a Telugu classic movie Attarintiki Daredi (2013) starring Pawan Kalyan, Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Pranitha Subhash.

Veera Madakari (2009) - Sudeep and Ragini Dwivedi

This is movie is a remake of the Telugu movie Vikramarkudu (2006) starring Ravi Teja and Anushka Shetty

It is extremely sad that though these remakes were a hit, majority of the movies could not create the impact that the version that the Telugu version has created.

Your opinion might differ from mine. Let’s agree to disagree.
