Copying isn’t too easy as many people think. It definitely requires a lot of skill and talent, especially while attempting to remake classics like Maro Charitra. It’s a great challenge to meet the audience's expectations and to live up to the standard of the original. There are very few cases of successful remakes that achieved audience’s appreciation.
Directed by K. Bala Chander, Maro Charita(1978) had a great star cast of Kamal Hassan, Sarita and Madhavi, which remained as one of the classics ever made in Indian cinema. Later in 1981, it was remade in Hindi as Ek Duje Ke Liye with Kamal Haasan again and Rati Agnihotri in the female lead which was a blockbuster there as well.
But Picture abhi baaki hai doston! Sadly, the 3rd Maro Charithra is a flop climax to the original classic remake-series. The movie was remade in 2010 with Varun Sandesh and Anita in the lead roles. The movie was directed by noted cinematographer Ravi Yadav, who later decided to stick to cinematography. The movie lacked almost everything the original had, which eventually led to its failure.
