Jersey : 2019 and 2022
Seldom do you find movies that have so much depth in them and also have the ability to grip you till the end, rooting for the protagonist to prove himself. Jersey is undoubtedly one of them whether it is the original Telugu 2019 film or its Bollywood remake. Although, the original is way superior as Nani (Ghanta Naveen Babu) has given his career best but Shahid has yet again proved his mettle. After watching the original, I felt like there was no need to remake it in Hindi especially since the original had won 2 national awards for Best Feature Film - Telugu and Best Editing. With the same director helming this project, I knew for a fact that this was the director's decision so that the story can reach a larger audience after looking at the humungous success of Kabir Singh (Remake of Arjun Reddy). Sadly, that was not the case as due to Covid, the movie got delayed and when it finally got released, it was pitted against the magnum opus KGF Chapter 2 which was a PAN India release.
