Bollywood has been in trend for a long time trying to copy or recreate some of the old classic songs. When it is money, you mostly care for and not the originality of content it is, and then you start to go downhill. And Bollywood has been shamefully doing the same over and over. The earlier artists used to try and recreate the foreign songs and make a Hindi hit track out of it but currently, there is a trend of playing the old iconic dance numbers just for some extra bucks.
There have been numerous songs like Mungada, Dilbar, O Saki, Pal Pal Dil Ke Pass, and many more that were a colossal hit during their times, which caught the eye of music directors and artists. They have been recreated with a contemporary twist to make the track relevant to today’s time. This has resulted in many artists spoiling the melody and essence of the song. One such singer famous for singing the reprised version of old songs is Neha Kakkar.
Since her career, Neha Kakkar has sung a number of remixes and remakes of old numbers. Though numerous people have criticized her for the same, according to her, she is keeping the music alive by singing and turning it into modern dhamaka. And what has bothered many, especially music directors like A R Rahman and more, is that they have not been credited when their music is copied. And therefore, they have also expressed their grievances.
Here are some songs that were spoiled by Neha Kakkar.
- Cheez Badi
- Kala Chashma
- Aashiq Banaya Aapne
- Yaad Piya Ki Aane Lagi
