Can Ash-Abhi recreate the screen magic of Amitabh-Jaya? Masala! wonders…

Yes

When Abhi and Ash signed Rajeev Menon’s new movie based on Abhimaan, they knew exactly what they were doing. They are fully aware that comparisons will be inevitable. And that’s where the challenge lies. Maybe they are inspired by SRK, who has successfully pulled off KBC and Don. After Guru we know their screen chemistry is good. Plus Ash can act the innocent yet intelligent heroine well, as proved in Jodhaa Akbar. By now they should know a thing or two about real-life competition between spouses, so they could even do a better job on screen!

No

No way! We will always remember Amitabh and Jaya’s performance in Abhimaan. This is one film that people have watched again and again. Some even know the dialogues – and songs – by heart! It is indeed very daring to even attempt a remake of the film because the audience may not accept it at all. The film could well spell doom for Abhi-Ash as a screen couple. Shouldn’t they have taken the failure of Sarkar as a warning anyway? While going on a signing spree as a couple is not a good idea in the first place, deciding to act in a remake of the classic Abhimaan is far worse!
