To mark the 25th anniversary of the 1990 blockbuster, Aashiqui, Hrithik Roshan and Sonam Kapoor have reenacted its hit song 'Dheere Dheere.’
Unfortunately, the music has also been reprised by Honey Singh, who brings his remix skills but sticks to the original only in the chorus.
Hrithik Roshan, despite his Johnny Bravo hair, matches step with the the gorgeous Sonam Kapoor. The re-creation is vastly more opulent but fails to bring in the intensity of the original.
The original Aashiqui stood mostly on the strength of its music, which made the careers of singer Kumar Sanu and composers Nadeem-Shravan.
Rahul Roy failed to take-off despite a dream debut, Anu Agarwal unfortunately drifted to a destined nirvana.
Bur all in all, Aashiqui was a heartache largely due to its music led by Dheere Dheere. That is a magic that cannot be reprised.
