Bhagyashree doesn’t want the songs of ‘Maine Pyar Kiya’ to be remade: New age music…
In an exclusive interview with IndiaToday.in, actress Bhagyashree said that the songs of ‘Maine Pyar Kiya’ cannot be recreated in today’s time. She discussed how new-age music cannot capture that feeling.
Bhagyashree and Salman Khan’s ‘Maine Pyar Kiya’ remains a cult classic, thanks to its heart-warming songs, apart from its new cast. From ‘Aaja Sham Hone Aayi’ to ‘Kabootar Ja Ja’, the songs from the film are etched in the hearts of fans. In an exclusive interview with IndiaToday.in, Bhagyashree shared her thoughts on why songs should be retained and not remade. ‘Maine Pyar Kiya’ re-releases in theatres on Friday, August 23.
‘Maine Pyar Kiya’ is a timeless classic that was released 35 years ago. And it remains just as influential even today. Apart from the relationship between Suman (Bhagyashree) and Prem (Salman Khan), which has been immortalised in the golden pages of Bollywood history, the songs have also made a huge impact.
Talking about this, Bhagyashree said, “People still listen to this song (People still listen to the songs). Many times, when I step inside the car, I hear the driver listening to them. So, there is an eternal music in those songs. I don’t think that can be created with new-age music. They say like the lofi-thing, but I don’t think it would probably work with the songs of ‘Maine Pyar Kiya’. It was a very different experience and a different fan base.”
‘Maine Pyar Kiya’ marked Bhagyashree’s debut in Bollywood and was Salman Khan’s first lead role as a lead actor after he made his debut with ‘Biwi Ho To Aisi’ in 1988. Film’s dialogue, ‘There is a principle of friendship madam, no sorry, no thank you.’ It became a part of people’s daily conversations.
When asked if the chemistry between Suman and Prem would be the same if the film was remade today, Bhagyashree said, “SACha love is always there (True love always happens). We dream of a happy ending, true love. Love still makes the world go round. Even today, as Indians, we are very true to our hearts. Gen Z is probably making a lot of mistakes, not knowing who they are.”
He further added, “It doesn’t matter if today’s generation has love in their life or not; everyone wants to have someone special. Who wouldn’t want someone who loves them, who they love, who they want to do anything for and who wants to do anything for them? Now is when you want to enjoy life together, go through ups and downs together, watch the sunset, experience the night and wake up to a new sunrise every day.”
Directed and written by Sooraj Barjatya, ‘Maine Pyar Kiya’ was released in 1989.
