The release of an Indian version of the Pakistani song “Basori”, which achieved great success in both countries, sparked sharp reactions among the Indians.
The original song, sung by Ali Sethi and Shay Gill, was presented as part of the program “Cook Studio Pakistan”, which is the longest-running music program in the country.
Reactions to the release of the Hindi version of the song on Monday were mixed.
Many of the song’s followers said they found the performance gratuitous, but others said they liked the feel of the new version.
The new version of the song as “Pasoori No” is being shown in the upcoming Bollywood movie, “Satyabrim Ki Katha” starring Kartik Aryan and Kiara Advani.
The song’s official video has racked up more than nine million views on YouTube since its release on Monday.
A great controversy arose regarding the release of the song, due to the method of singing in the new version performed by Arjit Singh, one of the most prominent singers in India in recent years, which he wrote himself in collaboration with Indian writer Gurprep Saini.
The song retains the original chorus along with the distinctive pop characteristics, but the song is generally romantic. Singh chimes in to mimic Sethi’s voice, while the two actors dance and embrace once morest the backdrop of snow-capped mountains.
On Monday, however, many Indians criticized the song’s video, accusing its makers of “extremely vandalizing” the original song.
“Nice try, but don’t try once more,” a user wrote on a social media platform.
Another user added, “There is no doubt that Arjit Singh is an amazing singer. But stop messing with good songs.”
Others said they were tired of Bollywood remaking old movies and songs in a new way, and one user asked, “Can’t you just let the original stuff stay original?”
Despite this, others defended the song and accused its critics of unwarranted cruelty.
“I love this version of Pasoori,” one fan wrote, while another added, “Arjit’s version of Pasoori, the best gift for all music lovers.”
Basuri, a Punjabi word that can be translated as “complicated chaos,” was released last year as part of the 14th season of the soft drink company’s “Coke Studio Pakistan,” which features studio-recorded performances by some of the country’s most popular artists and is very popular in the country. India.
The song was a huge success in India, garnering millions of views, topping music charts for weeks and inspiring new releases.
