Nora Fatehi Reacts to Koena Mitra’s Disapproving Comment on ‘Saki Saki’ Remake in Batla House

Nora Fatehi has THIS to say in defence of 'Saki Saki' Remake in John Abraham's upcoming movie Batla House after Koena Mitra disapproves of it

Unless you are living under the rock, you would already be listening to Koena Mitra’s iconic track, Saki Saki, from the Sanjay Dutt starrer Musafir. Except that now you would have upgraded your playlist to the remake version of the song, nailed this time by Bollywood sensation Nora Fatehi in the upcoming John Abraham starrer, Batla House. While many hailed Tanishk Bagchi for not spoiling the essence of the original song, the remake did not go down well with Koena.

Taking to her Twitter handle, Koena tweeted her opinion of the song which read, “My song from Musafir #Saaki Saaki” has been recreated. Sunidhi, Suhwinder, Vishal, Shekhar combination was outstanding. Didn’t like the new version, it’s a mess! This song had crashed many blockbusters! Why batlahouse, why? P. S: Nora is a stunner. Hope she saves our pride.(sic)” to which Nora replied in a recent interview with a leading news agency. “I don’t think it’s really a criticism, everyone’s entitled to an opinion and you have to respect that. At the end of the day, we are discussing music, which is very subjective. Everyone will not like the same genre or style of music, right? Personally, I set a benchmark with “Dilbar” and I have to set a benchmark with “Dilbar” and I have to work towards surpassing it. After that, it’s for the audience to decide if they like you or not,” she said.
