Like Rajkummar Rao's Chor Bazari Phir Se, these 5 Bollywood remake songs also ruined the original charm
As Rajkummar Rao and Wamiqa Gabbi's Bhool Chuk Maaf introduces a reimagined 'Chor Bazari,' fans are reminded of other Bollywood remakes that didn't quite hit the right note. Here's a look at such songs where the magic of the original was lost in translation.

1.Chor Bazari Phir Se: Bhool Chuk Maaf
The original Chor Bazari from Love Aaj Kal (2009), featuring Saif Ali Khan and Deepika Padukone, was celebrated for its catchy tune and vibrant energy. The 2025 remake in Bhool Chuk Maaf, despite efforts by Rajkummar Rao and Wamiqa Gabbi, has been criticised for lacking the charm and spontaneity of the original.
2.Masakali 2.0
A.R. Rahman's Masakali from Delhi-6 (2009) was a melodious hit. The 2020 remake, featuring Sidharth Malhotra and Tara Sutaria, faced backlash for its overuse of auto-tune and loss of the original's essence. Even Rahman expressed his disapproval of the new version.
3.Ek Do Teen: Baaghi 2
Madhuri Dixit's iconic dance number from Tezaab (1988) was reimagined in Baaghi 2 with Jacqueline Fernandez. The remake was panned for its lackluster choreography and inability to capture the original's vivacity.
4.O Saki Saki: Batla House
Originally from Musafir (2004), O Saki Saki was known for its sultry appeal. The 2019 version, featuring Nora Fatehi, was criticised for its excessive glamour and departure from the original's mood.

5.The Humma Song: OK Jaanu
A.R. Rahman's Humma Humma from Bombay (1995) was a classic. The remake in OK Jaanu, with added rap segments and modern beats, failed to resonate with fans of the original.
6.Tamma Tamma Again: Badrinath Ki Dulhania
The original Tamma Tamma from Thanedaar (1990) was a dance floor favourite. The 2017 version, despite featuring Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt, was seen as a lackluster attempt that didn't capture the original's energy.
