Today I saw the new version of Mile Sur Mera Tumhara, recorded by Zoom TV. It showcased the old song in the new avatar. But I was extremely disappointed. First of all the starting was Idiotic, How come we expect to hear a song of National Integrity sung by Amitabh Bachchan !!! Seriously, he is an Actor not a Singer, even his attempt for being a singer was ignored by Indian Public (remember Eir Bir Phatte?). He is an Actor and he shall be taken as Actor, where in the original Version the Song was sung by Famous Singers but this is pathetic.
Has India lost all its Singers that we have to rely on Amitabh Bachchan to start a song?????
Apart from the starting the whole song focused on Bollywood more than other areas and It is nowhere equal to the original song, which gained popularity as Second National Anthem and is still very melodic.
Here is embedded Videos of Original as well as new Song so that you can yourself judge.
