The ‘Rawalpindi Express’ Shoaib Akhtar has expressed his feelings about the awful Bollywood remake of the global hit “Pasoori” by Ali Sethi and Shae Gill.
The release of “Pasoori Nu” by Arijit Singh from the upcoming film SatyaPrem Ki Katha starring Karthik Aaryan and Kiara Advani has caused a stir on social media. The song has garnered negative reactions online and some hilarious memes online.
However, the legendary Pakistani cricketer’s remark perfectly sums up how we all feel about the song.
After the song’s release, Shoaib Akhtar tweeted,
Aye ki pasoori paayi ay.
“Pasoori,” originally sung by Ali Sethi and Shae Gill on Coke Studio Season 14, was and still is a global phenomenon. However, the rendition featuring Kartik and Kiara failed to strike a chord with the audience. As the song gained attention online.
Pakistani and Indian Twitterati swiftly voiced their hatred for the remake online as it became the subject of hilarious memes and disapproving comments. One tweep hilariously wrote, “Pakistan ke pasoori ka pasoora bana dia inho ne.”
“Pasoori” holds a special place in the hearts of music lovers, as the original version became an anthem of sorts. Its popularity reached far beyond Pakistan’s borders, making it a beloved track worldwide.
The release of the revamped version undoubtedly sparked high expectations, but it seems to have fallen short for many.
