Remixes – Shaken to Stir!



Times have changed and so have the tastes of the audience. But old music proves its timelessness as it is subject to new-age music technology and re-packaged with a new zing!

As I was driving yesterday, I heard this song on the radio and for some reason it lingered in my mind for a while thereafter. Arijit Singh’s voice oozes a wonderful sexuality and he added spice to a song originally composed for the movie ‘Dayavan’ and sung by Pankaj Udhas and Anuradha Paudwal.

Another recent movie which celebrated the free spirit of womanhood, ‘Queen’, featured a song sung by Asha Bhonsle and composed by the duo Laxmikant – Pyarelal for the movie ‘Anhonee’ of 1973. Again, the remix has Arijit Singh’s voice adding that extra ‘something’.

Asha Bhonsle’s voice has a characteristic sensuality and naughtiness to it; the original of this song was sung by her for the movie Don (1978), the music, composed by Kalyanji Anandji. The remix features Sunnidhi Chauhan.

Yeh mera dil, Sunnidhi Chauhan



The very catchy ‘hawa hawa…’, by Hasan Jahangir from Pakistan, found it’s way back in the movie ‘Chaalis Chaurasi’, 2012, rendered by Neeraj Shridhar.
