Renowned artist B Praak, widely recognized for his hit tracks such as “Teri Mitti,” “Ranjha,” and “Mann Bharryaa,” has recently ventured into the recreation of the iconic song “Tujhe Yaad Na Meri Aayee” from the 1998 film “Kuch Kuch Hota Hai.” In a social media post, B Praak expressed his sentiments, saying, “Oh Dil Roya Te Akh Bhar Aayi Meri Maut Ae Teri Judai Kisi Se Ab Kya Kehta Tujhe Yaad Na Meri Aayi. Mujhe Sach Mein Aapke Comments Ki Wait Rahegi Ke Kaisa Laga. Plz Poora Dhyan Se Sunna. Humne Sach Mein Bhot Pyara Banaya Hai Iss Legendary Gaane Ko. Audio Out On Spotify.”
However, the release received mixed reactions from the public. Some expressed their disappointment, with one user saying, “Sorry but no sorry… I didn’t like the song… I tried very hard to like it but failed terribly.” Another commented, “Original to original hi hota hai mere bhai,” emphasizing the importance of preserving the original version. Yet another user remarked, “Ruining our childhood song.”
In contrast, a more forgiving user mentioned, “Sorry, sir, but no comparison about 90s songs, but keep it up. Too good.”
On the occasion of the 25th anniversary of Karan Johar’s film “Kuch Kuch Hota Hai,” the announcement of a remake of the song “Tujhe Yaad Na Meri Aayee” was made. The original rendition featured vocals by Udit Narayan, Alka Yagnik, and Manpreet Akhtar, with music composed by Jatin-Lalit.
