Song remakes by Bollywood that were more successful than the original

Remakes have always been a thing in Bollywood. There are remakes of movies from other languages like Hollywood and South Indian industry. There are also remakes of television series. However, recently Bollywood has taken to remake old songs, especially dance numbers. Here is a list of five such Bollywood songs which have gone on to become more popular than their original version:

Saki Saki

The original song was a part of the movie, Musafir. It introduced the new face of Koena Mitra to Bollywood. Although the 2004 song is a hit track, the remake featuring Nora Fatehi in the movie Batla House further popularised the song. However, Koena seemed miffed at the remix track and was reportedly of the opinion that such iconic songs should not be tweaked around.

Dilbar

This song from the 1999 release Sirf Tum featured Sushmita Sen in an iconic dance number. It was revived on the silver screen by Nora Fatehi in the movie Satyamev Jayate. However, unlike Koena Mitra, Sushmita was a sport and even posted a video of her shaking a leg to the new track on social media.
