Kinna Sona

Here we go again. How many times do we have to say this? If it isn’t broke don’t fix it, but Bollywood is hell-bent on butchering classics in remixes and reboots. Now they’ve created a botched remix of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan’s ‘Kinna Sona‘.

Bollywood’s upcoming flick Marjaavaan released its latest track ‘Kinna Sona‘. The remix has been sung by Meet Bros, Jubin Nuatiyal and Dhvani Bhanushali.

Kinna Sona by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan

The original ‘qawwali’ Kinna Sona is one of legendary Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan’s most famous works. In the past Bollywood had him create Bollywood renditions of many of his works like Kinna Sona, Tu Chez Baadi Hai Mast (rather than Dam-mast Qalander), Dil Lagi, etc.

Recently we have seen Bollywood stuck in a rut of remakes and remixes. Fans are calling this an attempt to cash in on classics. Many songs of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan are being recomposed, and every time they have been a huge letdown.
