Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag is a remake of India's biggest hit, the 1975 film Sholay. This film was released on August 31, 2007. This film was previously known as Ram Gopal Varma Ke Sholay but due to Ram Gopal Varma's infringement of Sippy's trademark and copyright, the Delhi High Court ordered the name change (along with character names).[1]
The film was one of the biggest flops in Indian cinema, lasting only two weeks in Indian theaters. It holds the 30th position on the IMDb's Bottom 100 list.

Reception
Aag was set to be a hit as it was a remake of the 1975 classics but it turned to be a disaster at the box office. After its first week, the film was turned down by all cinemas and it became one of the biggest flops in Bollywood history. However, RGV has recently quoted that probably he will remake the "RGV ki Aag"; he added that as per his perception if the remake of "Sholay" can become the disaster like "RGV ki Aag" then, remake of "RGV ki Aag" might create the magic of "Sholay".
