Filmmaker Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar franchise recreated several old songs. This includes Na To Caravan Ki Talaash Hai, Ramba Ho and more, and the songs went viral.

Now, lyricist Sameer Anjaan has criticised the franchise for recreating old songs and expressed disappointment over the way Bollywood has been treating music.Sameer Anjaan criticises DhurandharIn a chat with Komal Nahata on his podcast, Game Changers, Sameer shared his views on songs being recreated in Bollywood and shared, "The fact is that you cannot pause inventions. However, that is not the problem.

Recreating a song has both pros and cons. Like when they remade my ‘Dilbar’ song, it got reintroduced to Gen Z. However, the problem starts when, while recreating a song, you ignore the original lyricist even when they are available and give the writing work to someone else, who then gives vulgar lines unrelated to the word ‘Dilbar’.

They are insulting the literature. If you can improve something, please do. But don’t play with something to spoil the original."Sameer said that.

Morally, people should not use creative work without the permission of the original writers. He stressed that this practice needs to pause, adding that good creative work remains relevant for generations. He also dismissed the assumption that older lyricists may not understand the pulse of today’s audience.

Saying that age does not mean they are out of touch with contemporary sensibilities.The lyricist further criticised Dhurandhar for using old songs out of context. Particularly during violent action sequences, and said, "Films like Dhurandhar have made the situation even worse. Satyanash kar diya.

They picked the music and put it in the background. In the trailer of Chauhan, they are playing Jumma Chumma during an action sequence. They recreated my song while they are firing guns.
