Sholay 3D remake of a classical megahit of 1975

Sholay 3D

I don’t think “Sholay” a Classic Megahit of 1975 needs any review. It is an evergreen movie of Indian cinema and it was nailed as the greatest story ever told. 

But should you watch its remake in 3D ? 

 

According to me the old classical movie has its spirit which the remake lacks. In watching the 3D effects of Bullets and Bombs flying out of the screen, character coming to life etc the original charm of the movie has been concealed in it.

If you really want to enjoy the movie I would recommend you to watch the classical Sholay release of 1975. But if you want a modern view of the movie you should watch the remake of the movie.
