9-point something on Phir Mile Sur .. A detailed review on why the new version cannot come close to the original and pretty much failed to capture Indians at large

@ Ubhay : Good that they didn’t tamper with the lyrics

While the beautiful lyrics have been retained, i think of it being more like an Elton John song. The original was more simple. Simple is always more admirable. Also this song proves the fact that there’ll always be unsung heroes.

@ Kiran : Thanks for the compliment Everyone has different views.. First i would make it clear that I too liked the video but my only problem was too much of Bollywood.. The comment on Deepika was not mine.I know you like Deepika but hers and Shahid’s scenes were out of place and didn’t serve any purpose whereas Aamir, Salman, Priyanka and Shilpa had a message..Exclusion of SACHIN was a big BLUNDER !!!

@ Kishore : I know you are very disappointed as many Indians might be seeing the video but i don’t think u can call it an INSULT .. Inclusion of Sachin would have made the difference between LIKE and DISLIKE

Good post…..But I liked the video a lott. I was disappointed just bcoz it dint include Sachin or Dhoni (as hes the capt now). There shud hav been atleast 1 cricketer in the video. You mentioned about not including Dr. Kalam. The makers’ intention was to project the youth icons. Dr. Kalam is ofcourse an icon but they intended to show the young Indians. This was the reason why Ustad Amjad Ali Khan, Pt Shiv Kumar and KJ Yesudas were accompanied by their sons. (This was the reason why Mahesh, Surya, Vikram were in the video……Thank God! Otherwise there wud hav been a big debate btw the Chiru’s and the Rajni’s). Amitabh Bachchan and the Assamese singer were the only exceptions. Moreover, I dint find anything wrong in showcasing Bollywood. The video was out to reach to the entire nation and Bollywood made half job done. Its worth noting that though there were many each(atleast almost) had something to say…..Aamir, Priyanka, Salman, Shilpa…….and whats wrong in showing Deepika’s legs as long as it is not objectionable. I guess Shahid and Deepika just represent today’s youth. ……And finally, I accept that any original cant be outdone but revival of some originals is always acceptable.
