Satte Pe Satta-Seven Brides for Seven Brothers Charming performances by both Saif Ali Khan and Rani Mukherji, meant that the remake somewhat recreated the magic of its original. About a decade and a half later Kunal Kohli decided to follow it all too closely, giving it some Yash Raj depth as well. Written by Nora Ephron, the Hollywood version became the bible for boy-meets-girl romantic comedies. And Bollywood also came up with a backstory for the dastardly acts of its protagonist.
