Koena Mitra upset with the recreated version of O Saki Saki from Batla House

Nowadays mostly every film has a song that is a recreated version of an old track and John Abraham starrer Batla House won’t be an exception. Batla House will have the recreated version of the track O Saki Saki from the film Musafir. The original track was a rage when released and it was picturised on Koena Mitra who had performed amazingly in the song.

The makers of Batla House have released a teaser of the recreated version and it features none other than Nora Fatehi. However, looks like Koena is not happy with the recreated track. She tweeted, “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.”


The recreated version is composed by Tanishk Bagchi and sung by Tulsi Kumar and Neha Kakkar. In the teaser, the music seems to be decent and of course, it is Nora Fatehi who makes us eager for the full track which will be released tomorrow.

This is not the first time when we will get to see Nora Fatehi dancing in a John Abraham film. Last year, John and Nora had collaborated for Satyameva Jayate in which the actress danced on the recreated version of Dilbar. The song was the biggest hit of 2018 and got millions of views on YouTube. Before Dilbar, Nora had danced on the recreated version of Rock Tha Party in John’s film Rocky Handsome. Though the film wasn’t a hit at the box office, the song was loved by everyone.

Directed by Nikkhil Advani, Batla House also stars Mrunal Thakur in the lead role and it will be hitting the screens on 15th August 2019. The movie will be clashing with Saaho and Mission Mangal. While the former stars Prabhas and Shraddha Kapoor, the latter stars Akshay Kumar, Vidya Balan, Sonakshi Sinha, Taapsee Pannu, Kirti Kulhari, Sharman Joshi and Nithya Menen.

National Trust pledges equality in access to nature and heritage

THE National Trust – which wants more Eastern Eye readers to visit its properties, apply for jobs with the organisation, become curators and offer to become volunteers – is marking its 130th anniversary by announcing an ambitious 10-year plan “to end unequal access to nature, beauty and history”.

The trust, it emphasised, “is for everyone”. Its director general, Hilary McGrady, said: “For 130 years, the National Trust has responded to the crises and challenges of the time. Today, nature is declining before our eyes and climate change is threatening homes and habitats on a colossal scale. Meanwhile, millions of people can’t enjoy the benefits that green space and heritage bring.”

The IMF has raised its forecast for British growth for 2025 by 0.1 percentage points to 1.6 per cent, making it the third-strongest among the Group of Seven advanced economies after the US and Canada.

‘Events in 2024 have shown that social cohesion cannot be an afterthought’

THE past year was marked by significant global events, and the death and devastation in Ukraine, the Middle East and Sudan – with diplomatic efforts failing to achieve peace – have tested our values.

The involvement of major powers in proxy wars and rising social and economic inequalities have deepened divisions and prolonged suffering, with many losing belief in humanity. The rapid social and political shifts – home and abroad – will continue to challenge our values and resilience in 2025 and beyond.

As we come together to mark World Leprosy Day on Sunday 26 January, we are reminded that leprosy remains a symbol of stigma and despair for millions.

Yet, amidst these challenges, hope rises—not from the halls of global summits but from the villages where community members are stepping forward as changemakers.
