The sequel to the comedy satire Oh My God! starring Akshay Kumar releases in theatres this weekend. Titled, OMG 2, the film promises to be a hilarious satire with plenty of familiar plot devices that defined the previous film’s universal popularity. The sequel also stars Pankaj Tripathi and Yami Gautam in prominent roles, and it is directed by Amit Rai. Like the previous film in the franchise, this one falls in the bucket of films where God descends on Earth to engage with a human who finds himself in a rather perplexing situation.

While some of these films have managed to realise these aspects to their potential, others have just made a mockery of the premise.

The Trial starring Bollywood star Kajol is set to release on Disney+ Hotstar on July 14th. The legal drama is a remake of the hit American TV show, The Good Wife, headlined by Julianna Margulies. It is among the several international shows remade in Hindi, including the upcoming series Citadel, a remake of the 2023 Prime Video original series of the same name. An obvious concern with these remakes is whether they would manage to deliver the story in an authentic manner or will the essence of the plot be lost in translation. Some also argue that such adaptations serve as a tribute to the original work and remaking it in another language, only allows for the story to reach and be appreciated by a wider audience. And in doing so, certain creative liberties should be allowed in refurbishing the story to blend into the new setting while retaining the spirit of the original writing. Have Indian remakes managed to live up to the iconic international shows they’ve been adapted from? Let’s find out in today’s List hai toh hit hai where we list Indian shows that have been remade from popular international shows. Read more
