This was (Sum)another unnecessary recreation

The other recreation on the soundtrack of Shaitan was Khoya Khoya Chand.

It was credited to Mikey McCleary, the India-born New Zealander known for his reinterpretations of classic Hindi film songs under the stage name of The Bartender. 

The original was from Kala Bazar (1960). Shailendra penned the S D Burman composition, which was rendered by Mohammed Rafi.

While using revamped versions of classics on Hindi film soundtracks is a recent trend, there’s no two ways about the fact that its proliferation is worrisome, as was evidenced by this track, which was Su(ma)ng by Shridhar.
