Monday Memes: Netizens rip apart Masakali 2.0, and the result is rib-tickling

Alex April 12, 2020

What was the need for a new version of Delhi 6's Masakali? We were really happy listening to the original track and to be honest, we did not want anyone to touch it, and ruin it forever. But, Tanishk Bagchi, as usual, wanted to experiment with some or the other track and this time around, he chose to pick Masakali. Within a few days, he turned a happy track into a romantic number and totally ruined it. Sachet Tandon and Tulsi Kumar have given their voices for Masakali 2.0, and they received the wrath of social media users too. People trolled the trio left, right and center for spoiling the original track for them.

Apart from social media users, A.R. Rahman (composer of Masakali), Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra (director of Delhi 6) and Prasoon Joshi (lyricist of Masakali) expressed their displeasure over the new version of Masakali. Mohit Chauhan, who crooned the original number, also expressed that the makers of Masakali 2.0 should have taken permission from the original creators. Needless to say, Masakali 2.0 also sparked a meme fest on Twitter as the social media users ripped apart the song.

Filmmaker Hansal Mehta also slammed the makers of Masakali 2.0 for ruining the original track. "Yes. I am reacting to the awful, ear-shattering #Masakali version. But check its YouTube views in 48 hrs. Then see how DJs blast it at events. And how people groove to the godawful version," he tweeted. In his series of tweets, Hansal also wrote, "This 'recreation' of old songs can stop if the public rejects them. The numbers on YouTube for godawful versions of old songs are huge and hence music companies keep producing them."

It is high time that we, as an audience, need to stop encouraging the recreation of old numbers. If we, as an audience don't do it, who will?
