There’s been something missing from life, and until I read the news from RealBollywoodNews, I had no idea what it was.  It was an anonymous hole deep down in my heart, unnamed but severe. Thankfully, I now know exactly what was missing and that my life will finally have meaning.

As will yours, dear film fan.

Bollywood is finally taking its longheld tradition of stealing deftly borrowing from major Hollywood blockbusters and attacking Robert Zemeckis’s 80s icon, Back to the Future.

If the new name, Action Replay isn’t a dead giveaway (which it isn’t), the synopsis for it, claiming that Michael J. Fox appeared in the original where he has to go back and forth in time in order to set events in the right order, should be.

Award-winning, Bollywood icon Akshay Kumar is taking over the role first made famous by Fox, and the gorgeously talented Aishwarya Rai will handle the lead female role…which could be either his mother or the girl he leaves blacked out on the porch swing. That means Action Replay will be the second-goofiest film Rai appears in as she’ll be in Pink Panther 2 next year.

What do you think? How awesome does this sound? Is the prospect of a Bollywood version of Back to the Future way better than winning the lottery or just slightly better than winning the lottery?
