The Bridges Of Madison County Remake in Bollywood

Remember the Bridges of Madison County? The 1995 Meryl Streep-Clint Eastwood movie, based on Robert James Waller's celebrated novel which tugged at your heart strings, created on-screen magic of the kind we don't get to see often. Well, now we are told, the movie is likely to be made in Hindi with Sridevi playing Meryl Streep's role and Amitabh Bachchan trying to match the role of Clint Eastwood.

Renowned film critic, Subhash K Jha suggested that the movie is being remade in Hindi. While Big B may well be able to pull off another great performance, Sridevi will be punching above her weight to match the performance of Streep, who won an Oscar nomination for her breathtaking acting.

In the Hollywood classic, Meryl Streep plays the role of an Italian warbride, Francesca Johnson who lives in rural Iowa with her husband and two children. A chance encounter with Robert Kincaid (Clint Eastwood) a photographer with the National Geographic leads to a brief, but passionate, life-changing affair between the two.

A question that has always nagged many fans is whether the Clint Eastwood offering could bring to life on screen, the romance of Waller's tender and gripping narrative.
