Is Bollywood running out of stories?

wats happenin to our good old bollywood???im used to bollywood remaking all the good available english movies(2006 will see 3 English remakes by Bhats)but now..is Bollywood so running out of stories that they have started remaking old hindi films...
Devdas was made 3 times in Hindi and twice in local languages...its a remake although Bhansali kept with the recent trends and decided to send SRK to England.
Umrao Jaan- another remake with Abhishek Bachchan and Aisharya Rai...on the sets of which the romance happend..i will be delighted if they dont marry(read:lots of Indians wil be happy)
now,its Don and Sholay...wats going on guys??
doenst bollywood have good stories anymore??
copying from other languages are very very prominent also...i can only speak about Priyadarshan remaking all the good malayalam movies and then totally destroying it...i was sad to see the remake of my "punjabi house" to "chup chupke"...it was just a change of cast and dialogue-by-dialogue translation
c'mon guys...give us something good and new...something like Munnabhai and corporate(not many people could relate to the latter...u have to be in the industry to understand this...like Page3...thats the real world of newspapers)
now that comedy alone is successful and originally i wouldnt mind keping my brains out and going for the movie but plz dont give us the remakes...all things look good only in its origianlly format...i kno its a mental block but i cant get over it...i cant replace the Big B with SRK

@S-sis : Now a days I dont even bother thinking about it. Still end up watchin those stoopid remakes.

Bound to happen though, recycle dialogues, recycle songs, recycle movie titles and now the whole freaking story .. Geez!!

@s-sis - wat does s-sis stand for?
anyway, i don't care abt remakes though the original will always be THE best! but most people don't know that they are remakes and that is kinda sad!
