Controversy Erupts as Arijit Singh’s Pasoori Remake Receives Backlash from Pakistanis; Ali Sethi Fans Accuse Bollywood of Plagiarism

The Bollywood remake of Pasoori, the hit Coke Studio Pakistan song by Ali Sethi and Shae Gill, has been met with widespread criticism from Pakistani fans. The Indian version, Pasoori Nu, by Arijit Singh and Tulis Kumar, was released today by T-Series, and many fans have accused Bollywood of stealing from Pakistan. The original Pasoori was a slow, melancholic song about the heartbreak of divided lovers. The Indian version, on the other hand, is an upbeat love song with a more positive message. This has led to accusations that the Indian version has completely changed the meaning of the song.

The backlash against the Pasoori Nu remake has been so strong that it has even sparked a Twitter war between Pakistan and India. Pakistani fans have accused Bollywood of cultural appropriation, while Indian fans have defended the remake, saying that it is simply a tribute to the original song.

The controversy surrounding the Pasoori Nu remake is a reminder of the complex relationship between Pakistan and India. The two countries have a long history of cultural exchange, but there is also a great deal of tension between them. The Pasoori Nu remake has become a symbol of this tension, and it is likely to continue to be debated for some time to come.

We already know that Pasoori was the first Pakistani song to appear on Spotify’s Viral 50 Global chart. The song was performed by Ali Sethi and Shae Gill at the Coachella Music Festival this year. Arijit Singh has been performing the song at concerts across India since last year. Ali Sethi has not responded to the backlash, but Shae Gill has said that she was unaware of the remake.
