Shah Rukh Khan’s movie songs seem to be a hot favourite all over the world.  It was a few months ago that a video of Nigerians singing the title track of ‘Kal Ho Naa Ho’ had gone viral. While that was just singing, a group of Indonesians has actually shot a full video recreating the actor’s ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’ title track, also featuring Kajol and Rani Mukerji.

Three Indonesians, Tyastri, Fathan Malik (also director) and Kiffa Adams step into the shoes of Tina, Rahul and Anjali as they brilliantly recreate the song composed by Jatin-Lalit and written by Sameer in the Karan Johar directorial. We're not sure why they have called it a 'parody' since it is really a fitting tribute, and probably even Indians might not have recreated it so well ever. 

From acing the lip-syncing of the Hindi lyrics to everything from costumes, looks, locations and gestures, you might actually feel transported to that time whenever you watched the movie for the first time.

Watch the video here:

However, Twitter had mixed reviews, while some people lauded the video, calling it 'incredible' and SRK fans boasted over the actor's magic, some were merciless, there were those who laughed over it, called it cringe-worthy and even wrote their childhood got 'ruined' because of it.
