Old is gold. It's rare, valuable and glued in memory. When something in the past, comes and visits in present with a newness, a fresh look and feel. It's always greeted cordially. We time travel and compare how innovatory its ornamented. The old magic cannot be recreated, they say. I agree, but a little change with time is perpetual. Also, the change should be a welcome one, living up to the standards laid earlier. Once it happens, you can relate, sink and dive into it.
The recent one that comes straight in mind is Evolution of Bollywood by Penn masala.
Beat boxing style with a mix of legendary songs from all the decades. Starting from black and white era carrying 'the then look' to batameez dil imitating Ranbir's style. You flow with it. Old famous soundtracks served in a brand new platter. It's peppy and catchy. The young lads have done a great job! Appreciation and applause for the innovation.
Hungama ho gaya, song filmed on Bindu in a night club. Brilliant music by R.D. Burman, it's rightly said he was ahead of his time. It's imbibed in one of my current favourite movie, Queen. Same night club set up, but feel of 21st century. Kangana just bowled the audiences with mark of excellence. The way she danced, freaking out forgetting everything. Breaking all the shackles. Everyone's soul danced with her! For me, this one surely is better than the old one.
Har kisi ko nahi milta yahan pyaar zindagi mein, another famous song from movie Janbaaz. Sridevi smitten the show. None can beat her on screen presence in a saree. Gosh, the diva can outshine all. Even Feroz Khan, the man of hats and horses is overshadowed by Sridevi. With different music and lyrics it's featured in the movie Boss. Sung by Arijit Singh in his soul searching voice penetrates deep and strike every chord in your system. I liked the video as well, Akshay wooed me completely with this side pose of his in the hat. :) Though Sonakshi couldn't recreate the magic of Sridevi.
There are many more in the list and many more to come! Can the new ones replace the old songs? Of course that cannot be the tail. But it surely helps in revisiting the songs lost in the memories.
