In India nowadays, there is a love for cover versions, particularly revisiting versions of Bollywood’s old favorites. Most Bollywood films are revisiting classic songs from the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s, however, most of them fail to resurrect the previous appeal owing to excruciating raps interspersed between the songs. The Indian pop-rock band SANAM, which comprises Sanam Puri (Lead Vocals), Samar Puri (Lead Guitar), Venky S (Bass Guitar), and Keshav Dhanraj, recreated the joy of the bygone classics in new forms (Drums). They’re working together to reintroduce band culture and Indie music to India after a long hiatus. Let’s look at some Sanam Puri’s songs.
1. LAG JA GALE
Lata Mangeshkar first sang the song for the film “Woh Kaun Thi?” This cover version is one of the greatest recreations of the original song, and it will keep you captivated for a long time. The tone, style, and quality of the acoustic version are on par with the original, and Sanam Puri’s beautiful and passionate voice will quickly enchant you.
2.AAP KI NAZRON NE SAMJHA
This song was first performed by Lata Mangeshkar in the film “Anpadh” (1962). Although the original is indisputable, you will become addicted to this cover version after listening to it. The video, like the background rhythms, is incredible. This novel notion of giving the elderly a gentle touch is fantastic!
3.TUJHSE NARAZ NAHI ZINDAGI
Anup Ghosal and Lata Mangeshkar sang the original for the film “Masoom.” The lyrics are stunning and wonderful. Sanam and his band members restore the song’s purity by removing any unnecessary remixes or raps. Sanam’s calming voice also brings out the best in the words and the music.
