Bollywood version of Pakistani song ‘Pasoori’ sparks debate online:
Pakistani musician Ali Sethi’s and Shae Gill’s song ‘Pasoori’ was one of the biggest hits in India and Pakistan last year. On Sunday, T-Series released a Hindi version of the song for the upcoming Bollywood film Satyaprem Ki Katha. The remix version is sung by Arijit Singh and Tulsi Kumar and composed by Rochak Kohli and Ali Sethi.
Check out the song:
However, the remix is receiving much hate online, seemingly from both Indians and Pakistanis. Check out their reactions below:
Arijit Singh is one of my faves but the original one is so much better..Also what was the need to remake it when the original #Pasoori is so loved & changing the Punjabi words..it just doesn’t fit in at all.pic.twitter.com/x6WjZi4nvD

I don’t get it, why are you guys so bummed out by the ‘Pasoori’ remake???
It’s a perfect song, especially at 12 AM! At a houseparty, Play it, everyone will fuck off and then you sleep on time for once.

people outraging in quotes about the pasoori remake don’t realize that their outrage and attention are exactly what the makers desperately wanted. their aim was to generate basic awareness for the film’s release and they are succeeding in it.

The funniest thing about the Pasoori remake is that I don’t think Bollywood even knows what the song means. It’s not some sexy seduction song. Most of it is a raging lament. It’s cursing your inconsiderate paramour that may their love life not work out either if they dump you 😂

The Pasoori remake is bad. The Nach Punjaban remake was bad. I am not offended at the remakes because I am a Pakistani, but because your remake takes away the sentimental value and connection we had to the original songs. You change so much in the “remake”, we almost feel robbed.
