Veteran Singer A R Rahman who has given various big hits and also represented the country on different Platforms has reacted on this culture of remake. The singer expresses her disappointment with these trends.
A R Rahman in a recent interview asked about the remake culture. The singer said, "The more I see, the more it is distorted. The intention of the composer gets distorted. People say, ‘I am reimagining.’ Who are you to re-imagine? I am also very careful of taking someone else’s work. You have to be respectful and I think it is a grey area, we need to sort it out."
These days Neha Kakkar who is popular for recreating old songs is in news. As her latest single titled ‘O Sajna’ is receiving backlash as it happens to be a rendition of Falguni Pathak’s iconic song ‘Maine Payal Hai Chhankai’ Neha is receiving Black Lash for her New song. The original finger Falguni Pathak speaking about remaking song said, "Adapt karo lekin acchi tarike se karo. Remixes ban rahe hai aajkal aur acche bhi ban rahe hai jo humlog bhi stage pe gaate hai. Lekin usko acchi tarah se use karo na. Tum usko faltu kyu bana dete ho (Adapt but do it well. There are so many remixes being made well and even we sing it on stage. But do it well. Why do you spoil it)?”
Falguni further speaking about the song said, "I think the song came out in 2000 and till date, it is really fresh. Even when I perform the song now, people give us the same reaction and love that they had on the first day. Usko recreate karo, usme alag rhythm do, make it modern lekin achi tarike se karo na. Uski jo beauty hai, jo simplicity hai usko mat touch karo (Do recreate it, give it a different rhythm, make it modern but do it well. Don't touch the beauty and simplicity of the song)."
