IMDb profile

Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag is a remake of India's biggest hit, the 1975 film Sholay. This film was released on August 31, 2007.

The film was one of the biggest flops in Indian cinema, lasting only two weeks in Indian theaters with majority of audiences leaving the film during its "intermission" break.

Reception

Aag was set to be a hit as it was a remake of the 1975 classics but it turned to be a disaster at the box office. After its first week, the film was turned down by all cinemas and it became one of the biggest flops in Bollywood history. However, RGV has recently quoted that probably he will remake the "RGV ki Aag"; he added that as per his perception if the remake of "Sholay" can become the disaster like "RGV ki Aag" then, remake of "RGV ki Aag" might create the magic of "Sholay".
