Not that it needs a re-make, but if this movie was remade with a similar plot and subtle hilarious humour, would it work? and could any existing actor pull it off?
(I realise that in today's world no actor is going to play an hindu character etc. so you'd have to subtract that element)
I would like to see another interpretation of a similar plot, this movie is a classic.

The HQ always can make a remake.

Sure, I think they could do a remake only this time with an actual Indian actor playing Hrundi. The central plot idea (a bumbling guy causing chaos at a party) can be done in a new interpretation and parodying today's overblown Hollywood lifestyles can be funny if done well.

There was an Indian movie named Namak Halaal Starring Amitabh Bacchan.
A portion of it was based on and was a scene to scene copy of The Party.

The guy from Big Bang Theory could pill it off.

If I would remake
The Party
, I would switch it. Make it an obnoxious American in an Indian setting.

They already did an episode of The Office like that where Michael Scott goes to a Diwali function.

I like the steve carrell idea because he's able to be bumbling but is still caring enough like Hrundi was.
What if you made it backwards, and had Steve Carrell attend an indian party and be the guy completely out of touch?

Watched the movie yesterday for the first time and after it thats what I was thinking about too.
I can imagine a remake without the Hollywood big shots. Just a random party with a guy who is so out of place like Hrundi is in this Film. I can imagine Will Ferrell or Dana Carvey in such a role.

An Indian (bollywood) remake would work. I wonder if they play the original over there on TV?

Will Smith. Make it up to date. Take the main idea of a party going way out of hand and leave the original as is.

Fisher Stevens!!! .. the one from 'Short Circuit'.
For 'Michele Monet', I'd cast Audrey Tautou ('Amelie').

The only actor who could pull if off is Steve Carrell.

They would have to pay a fortune if they wanted to use a Morgan F series in the remake. They are a real collector's item now.

Don't even think about remaking this one. Don't make me come over and strangle you.
Besides, the plotline and general atmosphere of the movie seems to be so intrinsically Sixties that I can't really see how it could be credibly transposed to a modern setting.
People who cry about remakes are idiotsdoes every copy of the original get destroyed in a fire once a remake is made, or something?

You could have Kal Penn do it, yet the movie has a 60's vibe to it, the classi american 60's vibe just wouldn't work in a remake i guess and people today might not get it
