With Bollywood's ongoing trend for recreating old classic songs into newer versions, Urvashi Rautela has also joined the bandwagon by starring in the recreated version of Kishore Kumar's song Ek Ladki Bheegi Bhaagi Si from the hit movie Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi which features the iconic Madhubala.
Urvashi Rautela in 'Ek Ladki Bheegi Bhaagi Si'
Urvashi took to her Instagram to announce that the official video is now released on YouTube under Saregama which holds the copyright of the song. The song is meant to be a heartful tribute to Kishore Kumar, S D Burman and Madhubala. The vocals are lent by Ajay Keswani for the song. The song that premiered yesterday on March 2 has managed to cross more than 3 million views till now on YouTube.
'Ek Ladki Bheegi Bhaagi Si' song review
The song is shot in a setting where a concert is taking place with Ajay Keswani being the lead singer in the band. While Ajay is singing the song, Urvashi steps out in a white gown looking beautiful and is seen happily dancing to the tune. Ajay is mesmerised by her looks and imagines that he is singing the song just for her. The end of the song has Urvashi dancing in the rain in a red sari with a red bindi recreating a modern version of Madhubala's outfit in the original song.
While the new song has retained the lyrics of the original song, there has been a major change in the background music. While the original track was a soothing slow number the recreation consists of a lot of beats and fast tunes which deems to be unnecessary. All in all the recreation of Ek Ladki Bheegi Bhaagi Si is a good attempt but it is not at par with the original classic.
