India, April 10 -- As remixes continue to dominate Bollywood playlists, singer-politician Babul Supriyo is pushing back against criticism over the trend. A day after the release of his latest track, a refreshed version of Inteha Ho Gai, originally from the 1984 Amitabh Bachchan-starrer Sharaabi, Supriyo calls remixes a "tribute" rather than a dilution of legacy. "To me, a remix is actually paying tribute to the singers, composer, lyricists, and the timeless songs that have already earned their shelf life. It's just introducing them to today's listeners in a contemporary manner," the 55-year-old tells us. The original track, sung by Kishore Kumar and Asha Bhosle, remains one of Hindi cinema's most recognisable melodies. The song joins a long list of recently recreated hits, including Tamma Tamma, Piya Tu Ab To Aaja, and Tirchi Topi Wale. Supriyo, however, sees no contradiction. "I have sung a number of remixes at the beginning of my career.Most of DJ Aqeel's hits are sung by me. Even Pardesiya (2005), the remix in which (actor) Rakhi Sawant was launched, was sung by me," he shares, adding, "But I never received any flak. Rather, I've received requests to perform the remixes during live concerts."...
