Taking the trend of remixing songs too far, the Sidharth Malhotra and Tara Sutaria starrer song Masakali is highly slammed on the internet. Sung by Sachet Tandon and Tulsi Kumar and composed by Tanishq Bagchi, Masakali 2.0. is continuing to receive flak from the audience. Not just them, but the original musicians of the Delhi 6 song Masakali are upset too. Singer Mohit Chauhan opened up about his disagreement with PTI.
He said, "I heard the song. But it doesn’t sound like Masakali. So they could’ve called it something else. But to say it’s Masakali and then ride on the name of the song to make something else... If you make a new Sholay and then add anything to it, it ruins the experience of the original. ” “It got instant recognition. So it feels bad. Rahman sir is a quiet person, he doesn’t say much but he’s been also showing his disapproval, even Prasoon has been talking about it. And from what I came across on social media, even people aren’t really liking it, " he added.
The singer said that the trend of remixing songs is taken too far now. "It (recreations) has been happening for too long and it’s too much now. Initially, it wasn’t as much, then some worked and you felt, ok, good, these clicked but now it has become a herd mentality. There are remixes of remixes now. I don’t know if there’s a dearth of creativity which why people are piggybacking on songs, or if there’s a business angle for the labels. But I feel ultimately the creator should have control over where the song is going. Because it’s in public and everyone can hear it. If you want to do something with it, contact the original people and see if you can get it.”
