‘Now Bollywood stealing from Pakistan': Enraged fans slam Kartik Aaryan, Kiara Advani’s 'Pasoori Nu' song from 'Satyaprem Ki Katha'

Pasoori, the hit Punjabi song released by Pakistani artists Ali Sethi and Shae Gill, took the subcontinent, and the world, by storm last year. Noted for its subtle take on India-Pakistan love-hate relationship, plus with its upbeat rhythm that incorporated elements from techno music, but staying grounded firmly within the realm of South Asian pop, the song has now become an important cultural milestone. Twitterati, therefore, and not surprisingly, was very quick to turn its nose up on the song's recent remake. Released by T-Series, the remake features in the upcoming Kartik Aryan film, Satyaprem ki Katha, and the music video of the remake shows Aryan along with Kiara Advani, in matching outfits, grooving to the number.

This remake, sung by Arijit Singh and Tulsi Kumar, has now become an object of ridicule for many hardcore fans of the original Pasoori. While some users said that Arijit Singh failed to create his magic big time, others said Bollywood should not even attempt to copy a composition like Pasoori. Some other users also said that Bollywood went for Pakistani songs after having copied everything right from movie posters to plots from Hollywood and other film industries.

A user commented: “First time Arijit fails to create real magic”. Another user wrote: “Humble request to all the influencers don’t make this song a trend on Instagram reels (sic)”.  

Another Twitter user wrote: “I knew Bollywood was stealing from Hollywood, Korea, Japan, EU and the southern movie industries but now, even from Pakistan (sic)”. A user said: “Horrible remake of a masterpiece song! Original is original nobody can beat the magical voice of Ali Sethi and Shae Gill”.  

Another user wrote: “I couldn’t even continue watching the movie version of this song. The original video and song is unmatchable and it’s SO good, I feel it’s an insult to even attempt to copy and change a few words and put two pretty faces. Bollywood (sic)”.  

Here are some other reactions to Satyaprem ki Katha song Pasoori:  

The song is a remake of the popular Pakistani song Pasoori sang by Ali Sethi and Shae Gill. The recreated song has been sung by Arijit Singh and Tulsi Kumar.  The lyrics of the song have also been reworked in Hindi as the original song was written in Punjabi and Urdu.
