Sharing her two cents on why old songs are being recreated, Shibani said, “Old songs have a longevity and are eternal. Having said that, I do agree that by recreating old super hit songs the makers today are choosing a shortcut,” added Sonu. “I am basically not the kind of person who judges any trend or who suggests that things should be done a certain way, that I feel is appropriate. Our industry stalwarts think this is because the aim is not to have a shelf-life today. Several people suggest the music industry today looks for a shortcut by picking old numbers and adding a new twist to it. There is a situation of genuine justification and the best part is the original form of the song hasn’t been tampered with.” Anil Kapoor and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan film Fanney Khan features a lot of remixed songs. Sonu, who apparently agreed to croon “Badan Pe Sitare” to pay a tribute to legend Mohammad Rafi said, “I have some Rafi Sahab songs in Fanney Khan, but that was at a very special request from Mr. Its songs “Mohabbat”, “Badan Pe Sitare” and “Halka Halka” are already chartbusters. Sunidhi and Sonu have lent their voice to the rehashed songs in Fanney Khan, in which the music of yesteryear plays an important part. So, I am okay with songs being recreated, but it should be in the right manner and the right taste.” All the remixes sound the same, unfortunately. And that way, we are also discouraging new people who are working so hard in making original melodies. Sunidhi shared, “I will be happier if we give the listeners original music because it can never get the kind of recognition, the original stuff got. The song “Keh Doon Tumhe” originally belongs to 1975 blockbuster Deewaar. This track was altered again in Baadshaho last year, but it failed to make an impact. The song “Keh Doon Tumhe” from Deewaar sprung back into our minds when DJ Aqeel repackaged it while retaining the original voice of Kishore Kumar. The entire album of Jawani Deewani got remixed by one artiste or the other. The trend of remixing old songs began in the 90s when classics like “Saiyaan Dil Mein Aana Re” and “Kaliyon Ka Chaman” became hot favourites. Therefore, the responsibility lies on the shoulders of the people who are either creating or recreating music,” said iconic singer Sonu Nigam. So, does that mean Bollywood has lost its melody? “The audience only listens to what is served to them. Sunny Leone did “Laila Main Laila” from Raees, which was a recreated version of Zeenat Aman’s song from Qurbani. Why do you mix it? Then it is not here, not there, it is a mixed feeling,” remarked seasoned singer Sunidhi Chauhan. And last but not the least is the title track Anjaana Anjaani, which is again crooned by Vishal Dadlani and Shilpa Rao.“If you are going to retain just one line and the rest of it is new, then you just might do a good original song. it will leave an impact once the audience see it on the silver screen. This is an archetypal audio-video song i.e.

This track is melodious to the core and the flow of the song goes deep and passionate as the songs progresses. In the sultry voice of Shilpa Rao and rock solid voice of Vishal Dadlani I Feel Good song sticks to the quixotic romantic thesis of the album. This one is sure to stir the emotion in you. This is a stupendous song with some awe-inspiring lyrics and when someone like Mohit Chauhan croons it, it only gets better. Shekhar Rajvani and Shruthi Pathak have also contributed to the song. Sung by Mohit Chauhan, this one is a feat to the ears. Tujhe Bhula Diya song in Anjaana Anjaani is arguably the best song from the album. Tumse Hi Tumse is crooned by Shekhar Ravjiani and Caralisa Monteiro which is a good track but comparatively not amongst the best in the album. It's a comforting track which goes gentle throughout. Aas Pass Khuda is crooned by the great Rahat Fateh Ali Khan.
