A few more: Farhan Akhtar's 2006 update of the 1978 Amitabh Bachchan starrer was not only one of the best pure entertainments of that year, but about as ideal a modern "reimagining" of an older film should be, honoring not only the story but also the spirit of the original while having its own modern identity. With this long-anticipated sequel, Akhtar is now free of the shackles of the original, and I look forward to seeing what one of the most consistently smart and fresh young filmmakers working anywhere in the world has up his sleeve this time on December 23.
