The Bollywood remake of the iconic Coke Studio banger “Pasoori” by Ali Sethi and Shae Gill is out now on YouTube, and to put it lightly, it is a hot steaming pile of garbage.
T-Series’ usual formulaic approach of copying Pakistani content did not sit well with netizens this time who slammed the song “Pasoori Nu” from the upcoming Bollywood film Satyaprem Ki Katha, starring Kartik Aaryan and Kiara Advani. Not even Arijit Singh could save this shameless excuse of a song.
On the plus side, Ali Sethi and Shae Gill not only managed to make big bucks off of T-Series’ desperate attempt to chase their song’s global success, but they also united Pakistani and Indian awaam in a sheer hatred for the poorly received remake.
The music video for “Pasoori Nu,” released on Monday, is another generic Bollywood music video. The video features Karthik Aaryan and Kiara’s romance with each other, leaving viewers cringing in the comments.
In comparison to the original, the Arijit Singh remake is a tone-deaf approach to the one produced by Xulfi and Coke Studio. Netizens are rightfully upset with the remake as it takes a romantic route, unlike its original counterpart.
Netizens praised the original for its tune and style, while this one is a generic Bollywood love song. The original, sung by Ali Sethi and Shae Gill, has become a global phenomenon.
The Coke Studio 14 song has taken social media by storm since its release. People all over the world are still vibing to its infectious tune.
Here are a few hilarious memes to sum up everyone’s feelings about the song to help “cleanse” your palette.
