The much-anticipated remake of the Pakistani hit song ‘Pasoori,’ now titled ‘Pasoori Nu,’ has hit a sour note with the audience. Sung by renowned artists Arijit Singh and Tulsi Kumar, the revamped version features popular actors Kartik Aaryan and Kiara Advani in the music video. However, instead of generating excitement and praise, the release has sparked a wave of disappointment among netizens.
Set against the picturesque backdrop of Kashmir, the music video of ‘Pasoori Nu’ portrays a romantic narrative between Kiara and Kartik Aaryan. As the two stars share moments of affection, stunning mountain vistas serve as the backdrop, enhancing the visual appeal. The pair is seen wearing matching white outfits, creating an aesthetically pleasing aesthetic in the video.
The decision to remake the song, originally sung by Ali Sethi and Shae Gill, and adapt it with Hindi lyrics, has failed to resonate with the audience. Flocking to social media platforms, netizens have expressed their dismay and discontent with the new version. Twitter, in particular, became a platform for disappointed fans to voice their opinions, questioning the need to remake a song that was released not long ago.
Among the comments, one user expressed frustration, exclaiming, “I understand the concept of remaking old songs, but this song just came out! Everyone involved in this idea should be put in jail (sic).” Another user echoed the sentiment, simply asking, “Where is the dislike button?” Fans of the initial composition expressed their desire for the genuine rendition, stating that the most recent adaptation falls short when compared.
It is worth noting that ‘Pasoori,’ the original song, achieved significant popularity and became the fastest video in Coke Studio Season 14 to reach one million views on YouTube. Within a mere ten days of its release, it garnered an astonishing 10 million views. However, the decision to remake the song for the movie Satyaprem Ki Katha has elicited mixed responses from fans.
Despite the disappointment expressed by the audience, Satyaprem Ki Katha, featuring the song ‘Pasoori Nu,’ is scheduled to hit theaters on June 29, 2023. The filmmakers remain hopeful that the movie’s other aspects will help offset the negative reception of the remade song.
