India agrees with Pakistan: Pasoori remake is terrible
These last two days will probably go down in history as the only time Pakistan and India combined forces to take on the urgent matter of Bollywood taking up classics and destroying them.
On Monday, T-Series released their own version of Coke Studio’s massive global hit ‘Pasoori’, giving credit solely to Ali Sethi, excluding Shae Gill and Xulfi even though they had an equal part to play in making the song what it is today.
The new version is sung by Arijit Singh, and even though for Pakistanis it’s like kisi ne dil par pathar mara hai, across the border the verdict has been announced: they can’t feel the new version either.
Jo bacha ab Pakistan Studies agay ja kar parhay ga, it wasn’t peace talks or Fawad Khan’s smolder that got India and Pakistan to unite, it was the utterly incompetent T-Series.
It’s confusing for us as well
So Ali Sethi and Shae Gill can't perform in India because music can't flow across the borders when guns are firing but it's fully okay to buy rights to Pakistani songs and put them to commercial usage in Indian movies -while annihilating them.

Mubarakien maybe Pasoori can be called the song that finally united India and Pakistan together.
As expected, T-series has successfully murdered one more classic in the name of remade! The vocals of Shae Gill can never be replaced with Tulsi Kumar. The only saving grace is the sparkling chemistry between the lead actors.#PasooriNupic.twitter.com/EYVBVD5Ql4

T-Series finished destroying all Indian songs. Now they are destroying Pakistani songs too. #PasooriNu pic.twitter.com/pYX2WNVO6S

The good thing about #PasooriNu is that at least Tanishq didn't remix it & Arijit sang it.

But there was no need to relive the global hit. No need at all. Nobody asked.
