It looks like Bollywood films are done with composing original songs that could top charts. In the last decade, we have listen many remakes that we could have done without.
Whether it is latest ‘Pasoori Nu’ in ‘SatyaPrem Ki Katha’ or ‘Tip Tip Barsa Pani’ in ‘Sooryavanshi’, why are Hindi film directors and producers after recreating new versions of already hit songs, not learning from the reactions of the audience on previous remakes.
The older version of Pasoori Nu is a Pakistani track that was sung by Ali Sethi and Shae Gill, and it was release by Coke Studio, known for producing soulful music.
Just dropping it here so all of us can revisit the original gem #Pasoori, sung by brilliant #AliSethi and #ShaeGill. Because the makers of #SatyaPremKiKatha have just dropped the teaser of the remix #PasooriNu and ruined it.

Song Remakes We Could Have not Done
‘Tip Tip Barsa Pani’
‘Sooryavanshi’, starring Katrina Kaif and Akshay Kumar, feature a remake of ‘Tip Tip Barsa Pani’, which originally was choreograph by Raveena Tandon.
Though filmmaker Farah Khan reveal that Raveena Tandon liked the song but fans were unimpress.
They felt it was unnecessary to recreate an iconic song.
‘Aankh Marey’
Other song that need no recreation was ‘Aankh Marey’ in Simmba.
As the upbeats of the new version slowly pick up with the audience, the original song from ‘Tere Mere Sapne’ was quite popular.
If you watch the new video, Karan Johar enters at the start and says, “Oh God! One more remake.”
‘Jedha Nasha’
The original version of ‘Jedha Nasha was famous and love by the audience, and it need no recreation with Nora Fatehi in ‘An Action Hero’.
‘Ole Ole’
In both versions, ‘Ole Ole’ stars Saif Ali Khan.
So, in Jawaani Jaaneman a few lyrics and beats were change to suit the ambience of a disco.
We already had Saif Ali Khan playing Casinova in the first one, we did have to see him in the avatar decades apart.
‘Hawa Hawai’
Originally starring Sridevi, ‘Hawa Hawai’ is a popular song from ‘Mr. India’.
It was recreate in ‘Shaitaan’ and again in ‘Tumhari Sulu’.
Sridevi’s performance already had our hearts, and we did not need these two versions to distort it.
Other songs in the list include, ‘The Humma Song’, ‘Muqabla’, ‘Chamma Chamma’, ‘O Saki Saki’, ‘Coca Cola’, and many more.
