Even before the release, Varun Dhawan’s upcoming film ‘Hai Jawaani to Ishq Hona Hai’ has been making headlines. The makers unveiled the new song ‘Chunnari Chunnari Lets go’- a remake of the iconic song from the 1999 blockbuster Biwi No. 1. As soon as the song surfaced on social media users expressed extreme disappointment.
One user said, “It must’ve been insanely hard to mess this up.” Another said, “Thanks for destroying the cult song. Not even 1% of the original.” A second user wrote, “Why do they have to butcher the OG songs always?”
“This is bad on unfathomable levels,” read a comment. “What was the need to remake this original song? What do they even gain by doing all this? On YouTube, 90% of the comments are saying that the Salman & Sushmita version of the Chunari Chunari song is still unbeatable today.”
Likewise, the singer of the original version – Abhijeet Bhattacharya has also taken down the attempts. Slamming the reprised version he said “Varun Dhawan iss gaane se Salman Khan nahi ban sakta (Varun Dhawan can’t become Salman Khan by doing my songs). There is a big difference between Salman Khan and Varun Dhawan.”
He also revealed that the makers of Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai never reached out to him before recreating the song.
The remake features Varun Dhawan along side his lead actresses- Mrunal Thakur and Pooja Hegde. Vocals for the new version were provided by IP Singh, Jonita Gandhi, Asees Kaur, Sudhir Yaduvansh.
The film will hit the theatres on June 5th. It remains to see if it is a hit or a miss.
