Old wine in new bottle or new wine in old bottle !!

The current trend is bollywood is of remaking the old classics... packaging them with todays technolgy and serving to the audiance.
Suddenly i have discovered that i am too stubborn to accept them... and I have a question to these 'inspired' filmmakers. if you are making the movies with the same name, same story and publising it by mentioning the old movie in your every damn interview. How the hell can you say... please don't compare it with the original?
The comparison is bound to happen. and i believe that certain things just happen at their appropiate time. Without any ofence to todays stars...No matter how hard you try... characters like don, vijay, gabbar singh and umrao jaan can not be recreated. There is certain nostalgia and charm attached to them, which results in the situation, that anything less than 'remarkably extraordinary' will fail to live up to the expectation. And lets face it.... even the makers will not be optimistic of creating something 'remarkably extraordinary'.
So it really doesn't matter whether its... Old wine in new bottle or new wine in old bottle .... if i would have to try wine, i'll have 'Old wine in Old bottle'
