Remakes, reboots, and remixes. Bollywood has hopped on this remake culture of repackaging perfectly fine and sometimes iconic movies and songs to come up with something different and refreshing. But, there have been only a couple of times when the public has liked a remade version of anything.
Earlier, when the remake of the 1971 classic film ‘Anand’ was announced, people were highly disappointed.
Well, people online are facepalming, yet again, when Bollywood actor Kartik Aaryan dropped a teaser of the song ‘Character Dheela 2.0’ from his upcoming film ‘Shehzada’.
Taking to Twitter, Kartik announced that his upcoming action drama film, which is also a remake of the 2020 Telugu film ‘Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo’ will have the reprise version of the OG ‘Character Dheela’ song from the movie ‘Ready’ which stars Salman Khan and Zareen Khan.
While both the songs are sung by the same male singer, Neeraj Shridhar, and have Pritam as their music director, the 2.0 version of the song hasn’t completely impressed people online.
This is how they reacted:
Kuch toh original rakh le bhai. Film se lekar sab kuch remake hai.
Jab tak Hindustan me sanima hai, tab tak log chutiya bante rahenge.
Tatti Bollywood..

Kartik u are one of my favourites & I watch all ur films in theatres🤗This is so not acceptable👎🏻It’s not necessary to always remix songs for music to be trending or a movie to be a hit!Stop ruining old classic songs just for the sake of it! #CharacterDheela2

‘Character Dheela Hai’ Remix was absolutely unnecessary, devoid of any joy or colour and there was no originality in the steps because I’ve seen Mr. Aaryan do this template of choreography.
Music people, what are you doing?
— Pokhraj Roy (@PokhrajRoy) February 10, 2023
you've sucked all the joy out of a song by remixing it and not including *iconic* lines like farak padta hai kya bahon mein munni hai ya sheila hai, what's the point of your character being dheela?
