Bollywood has been famous for presenting old wine in a new bottle. Songs, especially, have made for frequent rehashes.
Film-makers have long relied on popular old hits to grab attention. R.D. Burman's magical Pyar Mein Dil Pe Maar De Goli, from the film Mahaan, which was sung by Kishore Kumar and Asha Bhosle is the latest to join the list.
The popular '80s number will be seen again in upcoming film Tamanchey featuring Richa Chadda and Nikhil Dwivedi. In fact, Tamanchey also uses the first line of the song as its poster tagline. The remixed version has also been liberally used as background score in the film's trailer.
However, video cassette company Shemaroo, which holds the rights of the original film, has objected to the use of the song as background score. Controversy or not, the fad is here to stay.
Only a few weeks ago, a remixed version of Aaj Phir Tum Pe Pyar Aaya Hai from the 1988 dud Dayavan, starring Vinod Khanna and Madhuri Dixit, featured in Hate Story 2. Popular singer Arijit Singh along with Samira Koppikar gave it a contemporary feel for the new-age audience. Arijit created similar magic with a remixed version of Har Kissi Ko Nahi Milta in Boss. The original song from Jaanbaz featured Sridevi and Feroz Khan.
