VS way of paying tribute to RDB: Remixing.

While Vishal Shekhar claim to have remixed this song Bachna E Hasino because they love Pancham too much I simply see this as a way to cover up mediocrity.
Better way of showing bhakti would be to compose an original tune by VS as good as this one and then dedicate that to RDB..!


Most of their (VS) output to my knowledge has been in the fast music,
item songs and club-mix sections. Unlike SEL or ARR - they have not
explored the spectrum of folk, classical, pop, filmi, type of
numbers. Hence when this duo pays tribute and
mention how much devotion and inspiration they have and get. I take
all that with a pinch of salt. Why remix a song when the original is so good...!!

Ajab si and main agar kahoon are not the fast track music. Those two songs are brilliant compostion. However its also true that sonu nigam and KK did splendid performance with the song and music arrangement are also too good. Still u cant take anything from their contribution. Its better to do few remix es than copying note to note from other language songs, that too not even mentioning original composer. Hopefully in future they will venture into classical and folk based songs too.

Its not that they dont compose soft numbers, but they are more known for their fast and peppy songs.. Their first album, Jhankaar Beats has many soft songs as well and are a huge hit.. Maybe the albums they choose are demanding for such songs and as their songs are more popular for peppy numbers, they are choosing such albums I feel...

I must say VS are simply losing opportunity to prove their talent, no doubt they could be capable of doing more but it is not coming across. Now take our stalwart composers like Sajjad, Madan Mohan, Ravindra Jain they hardly got A grade movies...!! Madam Mohan drank and died in despair But they proved their worth in what ever mauka they got but this is not the case here.
A R Rehman was simply picked up at a cost of Rs 25 000 for Roja when Maniratnam istened to his tunes and now A R Rehman is a millionaire, the bottom line is: must prove your worth, or else one gets forgotten here very easily..!

BTW you didnt say your 2 cents on whether remixing is right to prove bhakti.

Hi the issue here is whether remixing is fine to prove bhakti to R D Burman, for Pritam dada there are separate threads😉....

As far VS' composing prowess is concerned I still think their best hasn't come yet.

Ya I some what agree with you.. But these days you see money speaks a lot.. 😆 There were few MDs say like Shantanu Moitra who maintain their standard.. VS are getting more contracts for peppy albums and they cant say No to it..

Regarding remixes, well - its their own way of paying their tribute.. Their movie Jhankaar Beats is dedicated to RD as well and I dont think they have remixes in that album.. Maybe BEH demanded a remix and they did... I have heard the song, they have not changed much of the notes though...
