Hands down the original Mile sur is way better than the newly redone phir mile sur. For one thing it looks more like Bollywood integration than national integration. While the original managed to cover personalities in most of the walks and most of the states, the newer version reeks of publicity and blatant self promotion. It is quite sad, that a truly beautiful and inspiring song has been reduced to this cheap take of bollywood reunion.I am more mad at the video than the newer music itself. The music was not bad, but the original is still better.
In fact, I am not sure why famous personalities’ sons and daughters were even featured. None of their children are as famous or as successful as their parents to be featured prominently.
A host of missing personalities from various fields – Tendulkar, Dr. APJ Kalam, Carnatic vocalists or instrumentalists, scientists ( chandrayaan anybody?), Narayan murthy, Kiran Bedi, Latika Saran and the list goes on.
Some things are better left alone…and Mile Sur is one of them.
