I dont want to hear it - Lata on Chalte Chalte Remade Song

Lata Mangeshkar on Atif Aslam's version of Chalte Chalte song: I don't want to hear it

When a media agency asked Lata Mangeshkar about Atif Aslam's version of her song Chalte Chalte from Pakeezah, the legendary singer revealed that she doesn't want to hear it.

Remakes really need to stop...it really doesn't make sense to recreate hit songs to gain hype for a movie..where's the originality??

She always have that pissed off look on her face behind that fake smiling face. I guess she is having a hard time accepting that people's teste in song have been changed. Its not 80s 90s anymore.

Grumpy old woman complex. They always complain and complain. AIthough with this I kind of agree. Another beautiful remake was Teri Faryad of Koyi Fariyad in Tum Bin 2. They had retained the originality.

Lata is a legendary singer but she's so arrogant man . I hate this mentality of the older generation to keep running down the young. Get over yourselves lmao.

I don't think Lata is angry her point is valid.

Music directors are being lazy nowadays.

Overreactions galore. Lata is an egoistic, eccentric person who killed careers of many potential great singers including her own sisters. It was Asha's grit n determination that got her to create a career even though her own sister was hell bent on ruining it all. Heard the new version and its not bad. Atleast this way her sing will find new audiences. She is just salty that she is not that relevant anymore.

Well she is not entirely wrong. Chalte chalte is a timeless classic you think of grace, poise and Meena Kumari when this song comes into the mind and the latest version cannot even be called a tribute to it sorry to say forget even comparing or doing justice to the original. And no it's not Atif's fault he has done a good job with what he was given he is good I'll give him that. In fact my most favourite remake is Atif's dekhte dekhte from Batti Gul I think he has done a brilliant job with a song which is also sung by a legend like Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. The problem with this one is that the way its rendered it has killed the essence of the song, its sounds too different from the original and since the original is such a classic you prefer it.
If they remake songs at least don't ruin their essence maintain some of its originality they won't be that terrible and torture to hear but please do not turn it into something people can't even recognise because the nostalgia factor gets ruined. Even better make new songs instead of remakes especially when you can't do justice to the original ones.

She might be a legend,superior singer etc etc but the way she talks,I can hardly respect her for that,arrogant and so full of herself.
