Top 10 Bollywood Songs That Have Been Remixed

Top 10 Bollywood Songs That Have Been Remixed Hindi Article

Bollywood seems to have run out of original ideas lately. Old songs are being revamped and used in new movies as a fresh track. Though this trend is helping the new generation to know about old songs, it has faced a backlash from the older generation as comparisons are bound to be made. Very often, the essence of the old song is destroyed or at least affected. Older music composers like Laxmikant Pyarelal have opposed this trend, saying that it is disrespectful to the original composer. However, sometimes we fall in love with the new song as well.

Let us look at 10 such songs in this list.

1. Hungama Ho Gaya

The 1973 film was a suspense drama starring Sanjeev Kumar, Leena Chandavarkar, and 'Bindu'. It had a rhythmic party song called “Hungama Ho Gaya” sung by Asha Bhosle and picturised on Bindu. The music composers were Laxmikant Pyarelal. This famous number was reworked successfully for the 2014 Kangana Ranaut film ‘Queen’. Asha’s voice was retained and reworked with the voice of Arijit Singh. The new song had a bohemian feel which was pleasant to the ears. Amit Trivedi was the composer of the new version.

2. Khoya Khoya Chand

“Khoya Khoya Chand” was a melodious song by Mohammed Rafi for the 1960 film Kala Bazar. The film contained the actors Dev Anand and Waheeda Rehman. S.D. Burman composed the music. This beautiful song was reworked into a peppy number for the film ‘Shaitan’ (2011) and was used quite uniquely. The newer version was in a female voice and was sung by Suman Sridhar. Mikey McCleary remixed the song for the film.

3. Yeh Mera Dil

“Yeh Mera Dil” was one of the most popular item songs of Helen Jairag Richardson. It was a part of the 1973 film Don (Amitabh Bachchan and Zeenat Aman). When in 2006 Don was made again with Shah Rukh Khan as protagonist, this song was remixed and used in the new movie as well. Kareena Kapoor Khan was the star roped in to do the item number. The original track was composed by Kalyanji-Anandji and sung by Asha Bhosle. The track was reworked by Shankar Mahadevan - Ehsaan Noorani - Loy Mendonsa and sung by Sunidhi Chauhan.

4. Har Kisi Ko

The movie Janbaaz (1986) starring Feroz Khan and ‘Sridevi’ had a romantic track called “Har Kisi Ko” composed by Kalyanji Anandji and rendered by Manhar Udhas and Sadhana Sargam. This song was re-created for the 2013 film ‘Boss’ starring Akshay Kumar by Chirantan Bhatt. Two versions of this were released. The first version was sung by 'Nikhil D Souza' and the second version was a duet sung by Arijit Singh and Neeti Mohan. Both the versions were appreciated.

5. Aaj Phir

This sensuous song was composed by Laxmikant Pyarelal for the film Dayavan which starred Vinod Khanna and Madhuri Dixit. The song was a duet by Pankaj Udhas and Anuradha Paudwal. It was re-created in the movie “Hate Story 2” (2014) by Arko Pravo Mukherjee and the singers Arijit Singh and Samira Koppikar sang the new version. The song was quite well-received.

6. Aye Mere Humsafar

‘Aamir Khan's first movie was “Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak” (1988) and it had this love-song “Aye Mere Humsafar” by Anand Shrivastav, and Milind Shrivastav. The duet was sung by Alka Yagnik and Udit Narayan. This passionate song was revamped into a romantic number in the movie, “All Is Well”, starring Abhishek Bachchan and Asin Thottumkal. The track was reworked by Mithoon Sharma and had the voices of Mithoon and Tulsi Kumar. He gave the song a fresh flavor while retaining the essence of the original track.

7. Dum Maaro Dum

“Dum Maaro Dum” was a super successful track from the film Hare Rama Hare Krishna (1971) featuring Zeenat Aman. Asha Bhosle was the singer, and R.D. Burman was the music composer. This popular song has been remixed several times in the following years, but the most prominent remix was for the movie Dum Maaro Dum (2011). Pritam Chakraborty reworked the track with the voice of Anushka Manchanda; the video featured Deepika Padukone in a special appearance. The song garnered a lot of criticism and controversy over its new lyrics.

8. Tumhe Apna Banane Ki

“Tumhe Apna Banane Ki Kasam” was a Kumar Sanu song from the film Sadak (1991) starring Sanjay Dutt and Pooja Bhatt. The song was composed by Nadeem Saifi - Shravan Rathod.

9. Humma Humma

The original song appeared in the Tamil film Bombay (1995) which was also dubbed in Hindi and Telugu. The music composer was ‘A R Rahman’, and the singer was Remo Fernandes. The beat of the song was unique and very catchy. It became widely popular in a short time. This great song has been remixed and used in the upcoming 2017 film “Ok Jaanu” starring Shraddha Kapoor and Aditya Roy Kapur. The new version has been sung by Jubin Nautiyal and Shashaa Tirupati, and includes a rap by ‘Badshah’. Though the song is catchy, it does not live up to the standards of Rahman’s original composition.

10. Bachna Ae Haseeno

The new song featured Rishi Kapoor’s son, Ranbir Kapoor, along with Bipasha Basu, Deepika Padukone, and Minissha Lamba.
