'Pasoori' remix from Kartik-Kiara starrer 'Satyaprem Ki Katha' leaves internet divided

No one can forget the spell woven by 'Pasoori', the 2022 hit from Coke Studio Season 14. Sung by Pakistani duo Ali Sethi and Shae Gill, the song was loved equally in India as on the other side, in Pakistan. Combining folk tunes with contemporary music, the song connects countries otherwise separated by borders. Now, the classic that created an international sensation, is again in the news for its 'remix' version. Satyaprem Ki Katha starring Kartik Aryan and Kiara Advani will feature the song 'Pasoori Nu' by Arijit Singh. Although the song was released today, 26 June, fans compared it to the Pakistani original score, Pasoori much earlier.

The music label T-Series released a 'remix' of the global hit 'Pasoori', originally sung by Pakistani singer-composers Ali Sethi and Shae Gill. The revised version of the highly-acclaimed song is sung by Arijit Singh. It is set to be included in the Sameer Vidwans-directed film, Satyaprem Ki Katha, starring Kartik Aaryan and Kiara Advani. The film will be released theatrically on 29 June.

Among the mix of positive and negative reactions on social media, one user eagerly reacted to the T-series' announcement post, a day ago. He wrote: "People are acting weird about Arijit Singh's remake of pasoori. He has already sung pasoori in concerts and was the talk of the town. This is just like a studio version of pasoori in his voice. Don't listen if you don't want to and stop acting weird."
