It's raining remakes in Bollywood. Here we list down five super trashy remakes that tried to recreate magic on  the silver screen but instead, tasted dust.

1



Original: Zanjeer
Remake: Zanjeer (2013)

Trashy quotient: Priyanka Chopra’s item number, Pinky
                            Ram Charan’s stone face expressions
                            Messing with the iconic character of The Angry Young Man


2





Original: Umrao Jaan (1981)
Remake: Umrao Jaan (2006)

Trashy quotient: The forgettable songs
                            And we don’t think anyone can replace Rekha’s regal charm

3



Original: Sholay (1975)
Remake: RGV Ki Aag (2007)

Trashy quotient: It was hard to imagine Amitabh Bachchan playing the iconic villain, Gabbar.
                         The new-age Basanti, Priyanka Kothari playing rickshawali was tacky.
                         Gabbar playing with ants! (WHAT?)
                         The list goes on...

4



Original: Karz (1980)
Remake: Karzzzz (2008)


Trashy quotient: Himesh Reshamiyaa singing Ek Haseena Thi in his nasal voice
                            Himesh Reshamiyaa
                            Himesh Reshamiyaa

5



Original: Himmatwala (1983)
Remake: Himmatwala (2013)



Trashy quotient: Ajay Devgn and Tamannaah trying to do what Jeetendra and Sridevi did
                           The whole concept of throwing in a tiger in the film.
