When I left for work this morning, the bright yellow school bus was turning the corner while the little kids waited impatiently. It reminded me of a quote from the Tom Hanks- Meg Ryan movie - You've Got Mail
Joe Fox: Don't you love New York in the fall? It makes me wanna buy school supplies. I would send you a bouquet of newly sharpened pencils if I knew your name and address. On the other hand, this not knowing has its charms.
Although its not Fall quit yet, Its back to school time in my part of the world. Kidman started school a bit earlier than usual, but that is because he goes to a year round school, but fb and instagram and even the streets all around me are filled with little children headed back to school.
But thinking of You've got mail got me thinking that as rom coms go You've got Mail is definitely one of the classics and of course if its a classic, its been remade in Bollywood.
Here are clips from the three movies I think that are inspired by You've got Mail-
1. Mujhse Dosti Karoge- Rani Mukherjee and Hrithik fall in love over emails but Hrithik thinks its Kareena writing them
2. Sirf Tum: Sanjay Kapoor falls in love with the heroine by writing letters, but kahaani mein twist and the best part of the movie - Sushmita Sen and this song!
3. Na Tum Jaano Na Hum: Hrithik and Esha fall in love over letters but Hrithik has set her up with his best friend Saif.
It is interesting that all the remakes decided to make it a triangle rather than just a misunderstanding between the two leads but a little masala always adds spice right? I will say my favorite out of these is Mujhse Dosti Karoge because Hrithik + Kareena Yaaaay!
But what about you? Are there other remakes you can think of?
