AAG: Probably Bollywood's one of the most iconic films of all times for its larger than life characters and adaptation of the western cinema in the film played a key role. But the film's remake far from a success and it bombed at the box office. SO much so that it was described by the critics as one of the 'worst films' ever made. What else? Jai aka Amitabh Bachchan from the original film essayed the role of the antagonist in 'AAG' (the remake) (Photo Credits: Facebook)

Agneepath: We are quite familiar with the anti-hero, Vijay Deenanath Chauhan, in two ways. Amitabh Bachchan as the original gangster back in the 90s and Hrithik Roshan from the rebooted version in the early 2010s. It's hard to make a remake but the makers of 'Agneepath' impressed everyone with the the film. Hrithik's acting skills and his ability to carry forward the living legend's legacy was appreciated by one and all (Photo Credits: Facebook)

Don: The original film, which starred mega star Amitabh Bachchan as the titular character, established his status as one of the leading men of the industry and his legacy of the famous character helped Shah Rukh Khan to make a comeback in the action genre titled, 'Don: The Chase Begins', which did well and even spawned a sequel, 'Don 2' (Photo Credits: Facebook)

Judwaa 2: The original one was a blockbuster but nonetheless the remake, 'Judwaa 2', has certainly proved to be an all-time hit as the film is already on its way to enter the Rs. 100-crore club! Varun Dhawan proved his critics wrong when it comes to stepping into the shoes of the original 'Judwaa'. Varun's performance is being cited as main reason for the film's success (Photo Credits: Facebook)

Ittefaq: The upcoming film, which stars Sidharth Malhotra and Sonakshi Sinha, is an official remake of the 1964 film, 'Ittefaq'. The original film starred yesteryear superstar, Rajesh Khanna, Nanda and Madan Puri, which was hailed as one of the best suspense thriller back then. It'll be interesting to see whether the remake will live up to the ripples created by the original film (Photo Credits: Facebook)
