When the makers of Jackky Bhagnani-starrer Mitron recreated the gem, Chalte Chalte from Pakeezah (1972), they found an avid critic in Lata Mangeshkar, who had rendered the original. Asserting that she doesn't wish to hear the redux version, the legend expressed her disappointment at the frequency with which music composers of today "lift acknowledged, beloved classics and shuffle the notes around."

When mid-day reached out to Bhagnani, he said, "If Lataji has commented about the song, she must be correct. She's amused at why songs are being remixed so often these days. But I would urge ma'am to listen to the song once."
