It certainly waSN’t (R)afine recreation

One would not use Amit Trivedi and recreation in the same sentence, and upon listening to the recreated version of Badan Pe Sitare, even a person whose knowledge of music is limited to Sa Re Ga Ma would know why.

The original – which was from Prince (1969) – was penned by Hasrat Jaipuri, composed by Shankar-Jaikishan and rendered by Mohammed Rafi.

The recreated version – which was from Fanney Khan (2018) – was rendered by the one and only Sonu Nigam, who began his career with albums of Rafi’s songs.

It was three minutes and 37 seconds long.
