Satyaprem Ki Katha has created quite a buzz on social media ever since its trailer was released. The excitement for the film was sky-high after last week, the makers dropped a peppy garba song from the film titled Sun Sajni. But all the enthusiasm fell flat after fans heard that the makers are going to remake the Coke Studio hit track Pasoori Nu for Satyaprem Ki Katha. But there were mixed reactions to the song even before it was released. Sung by Arijit Singh and Tulsi Kumar while the lyrics are penned by Gurpreet Saini and Ali Sethi.
The OG Pasoori Nu is about heartbreak and how a heartbroken lover curses his former partner on how she will not find true love. The Pasoori Nu remake is completely opposite and is about love. The song started off well, okay? I was actually beginning to like it and was left wondering where is the remake bit because all Bollywood remakes are entirely based on the original track with just a few lyrics changed here and there.
That is not the case with the Pasoori Nu remake. The entire song is new and just the chorus and a last para taken from the original Ali Sethi’s track. And honestly, the parts that are original sound so good on their own that when the Pasoori Nu lyrics come in, they sort of ruin the vibe.
This is one remake I wish they had stuck to the MO of remaking. The original lyrics and the Pasoori Nu ones are not gelling well and they feel like two different songs just fused together. Sadly, even Arijit Singh’s voice does not make it better or enjoyable.
