Remixing Controversy: A Look at "Choli Ke Peeche" from Crew
The 2024 release of "Choli Ke Peeche" in the film Crew sparked debate in the Indian music industry. The song, a recreation of the iconic 1993 dance number from the film "Khal Nayak," brought back the original vocals of Ila Arun alongside Diljit Dosanjh and Alka Yagnik. However, the remake was met with criticism from the original singer, Ila Arun, who expressed ethical concerns about not being informed or consulted before the remix.
The Allure of Remixes
Remixing existing songs is a common practice in the music industry. It allows artists to reinterpret classics for a new audience, often with a contemporary sound. Remixes can breathe new life into older songs, extending their reach and sparking renewed interest. In the case of "Choli Ke Peeche," the energetic music and the inclusion of established singers like Dosanjh and Yagnik might have aimed to introduce the original song to a younger generation.
Ownership and Ethics
However, the "Choli Ke Peeche" controversy highlights the issue of ownership in music. While the music composers might hold the copyright, the original singer also has a creative stake in the song. Ila Arun's vocals are a key part of what made the original "Choli Ke Peeche" so popular. Her absence from the creative process behind the remix raises questions about respect for the artist's contribution.
Finding the Balance
The "Choli Ke Peeche" situation underscores the need for a balanced approach to remixes. While there's value in reinterpreting classic songs, it's crucial to obtain proper permissions and potentially involve the original artists in the creative process. This would not only address ethical concerns but could also lead to more thoughtful and respectful recreations.
Lyrics:
Ku Ku Ku…
Jogiya Ve Mainu Aitthon Door Lae Ja Tu
Seene Vich Dil Kare Dum Gutkoon
Mundraan Pua(Pavaa) Ke Naale Majjhiyaan Chara Ke
Mundraan Pua Ke Naale Majjhiyaan Chara Ke
Keeta Jeenaan Mushkil Tu Mera
Choli Ke Peeche Kya Hai
Chunari Ke Niche Kya Hai
Dass Mainu Gall Kudiye Tu Kitthon Aayi Ajj
Jo Bhi Hai Choli Ke Peeche Mujhape Tu De Kharach
Dekhoon Chhup Chhup Ke Main Tujhey Bolun Sach Sach
Machne Lagi Tu Baby Too Much Too Much!
Dekhiyo Na Gir Jaaye Dil Hai Meri
Judna Ni Phir Haaye Dil Hai Mera
Dekhiyo Na Gir Jaaye
Dil Hai Meri Judna Ni Phir Haaye
Dil Hai Mera Ye Dil Tu De De Apne Yaar Ko, Pyaar Ko..
Ku Ku Ku ..
Resham Ka Lehenga Mera
Resham Ka Lehenga
Lehenga Hai Mehenga Mera
Lehenga Hai Mehenga
Lehenga Utha Ke Chaloon
Ghoonghat Gira Ke Chaloon
Kya Kya Bachaa Ke Chaloon
Raam Ji… Raam Ji…
Oye Chori..
De Bata Tu Kya Hai Tere Seene Vich Na Mila Hai Tere Sa Zamaane Vich.
Le Mujhey Tu Apni Hi Ore Khichh Naina De Khazaane Tere Lutt Ke Main Hona Rich
