‘Thank God’ Song ‘Manike’ Ft. Sidharth, Nora Fatehi Is Another Example Of Why Bollywood Should Stop With Remixes

‘Thank God’ Song ‘Manike’ Ft. Sidharth, Nora Fatehi Is Another Example Of Why Bollywood Should Stop With Remixes

Thanks to Instagram reels, I was introduced to songs from different parts of the world. Songs that were so beautifully sung that they made it all the way to my playlist. One of the songs that I’m sure made it to most people’s playlists, including mine, was the viral song ‘Manike Mage Hithe’ sung by Sri Lankan singers Yohani and Satheeshan Rathnayaka. Oh boy, was that song so soothing and pure to hear! But like most of the songs, Bollywood has managed to ruin this as well when they made a remix version of it. Yep, in the upcoming movie, Thank God starring Rakul Preet and Sidharth Malhotra, there is a remix version of the song titled ‘Manike’ and it features Sidharth Malhotra and Nora Fatehi. Having heard the song ‘Manike’, I’d say the only remotely good thing about it is Nora Fatehi’s dance moves.

On September 16, the makers of Thank God starring Rakul Preet and Sidharth Malhotra released the much-awaited remix version of the viral song ‘Manike Mage Hithe’ sung by Yohani and Satheeshan Rathnayaka, titled ‘Manike’ featuring Nora Fatehi, Sidharth Malhotra, and Ajay Devgn. The remix version is sung by Yohani, Jubin Nautiyal, and Surya Ragunnathan.

The ‘Manike’ song from Thank God opens with Ajay Devgn warning Sidharth Malhotra to not fall for his lust and I just wished he would have even warned the audience for the cringe remix we were about to hear. Of all the things that were disappointing, the Hindi lyrics take the first place. Adding Hindi lyrics that are so corny and downright unflattering just doesn’t go with the vibe of the original song. Moreover, the rap (yep, there is a rap) written by Mellow D is so out of place that you can barely understand what’s going on.

The best part about the three-minute long song ‘Manike’ from Thank God is that they have kept the original musical composition with a few tweaks here and there that add to it rather than taking from it. In fact, even the palpable chemistry between Nora Fatehi and Sidharth Malhotra in this remix version deserves a shoutout but not enough to save this song.

To conclude, I really want to request Bollywood to stop ruining good ole’ songs with their remixes. It was okay till you did that with old Hindi songs but now you’re doing it with foreign songs – please stop.
