Music knows no boundaries and has the ability to transcend borders. We have seen several examples of the same such as Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Atif Aslam and most recently Ali Sethi. The musician has captured desi hearts with his song "Pasoori" featuring Shae Gill. The track might have released early last year but it is still dominating playlists here.
Now, a remake of the Pakistani song has released as part of the upcomimg film Satyaprem Ki Katha. It was launched on Monday and #PasooriNu immediately booked a spot on the trending list on Twitter. However, fans of the original version were not very happy with the remake crooned by Arijit Singh. The microblogging site was absolutely flooded with reactions as soon as the track released on YouTube.
While some people liked Pasoori's remake, a majority of people expressed their disappointment on Twitter.
"Maturity is when you realise that Arijit's Pasoori version is miles better than Pakistan's Pasoori version," a user wrote.
Maturity is when you realise that Arijit's pasoori version is miles better than Pakistan's Pasoori version. Well done Arijit for making that terrible song better. Pakistanis can ask their song producers They received atta in exchange for selling rights of this song.#PasooriNupic.twitter.com/2tOSZoaASH— Haider Khan (@ind_iw0) June 26, 2023
Another user commented, "T-Series finished destroying all Indian songs. Now they are destroying Pakistani songs too."

Frankly there is a ripe opportunity for engagement bait, by showering fulsome praise on the new Pasoori and claiming it's "better than the original". Wonder who will get on this.— Vinay Aravind | vinayaravind@mastodon.social (@vinayaravind) June 26, 2023
