Now that I think about it, even Ayushman’s many songs are remakes, like morni banke. And Karthik’s entire career. the whole album of Sony Ki Titu was remakes.

The oldest remake in movies I can think of after don hmm... har kisiki nahi milta from some Akshay film.

There was Bachna Ae Haseeno remake too.

This was in 1994

Remakes and remixes have always been there.

But I think the trend of having a compulsory "catchy" party number in modern flicks started with "Aapka Kya Hoga Janabe-e-aali" from Housefull 1 in 2010.

It was followed by several one-off remakes (like Dum Maaro Dam, Oye Oye, Na jaane kahan se aaya hai, Chull, Kala Chashma etc ) as well as original party numbers (like Hookah Bar, Baby Doll, Daddy Mummy, Chitiyan Kalayian, Nashe Si Chadh Gayi etc) over the years.

But I think after Dilbar's success in mid-2018, all music composers lost their sh** and since then every other song seems to be a remake.
