I get the nostalgia but Disha did a decent job. People need to stop comparing. The track still lifts your mood no matter who's dancing. 🙌
Bollywood and remakes... classic track ko kyun bigaadte hain? Welcome 3 looks like a circus with 30 stars. One good original is worth ten remixes.
Katrina ka expression in that song was unmatched. Disha Patani is a great dancer but she couldn't match that spark. But nice effort for the new gen.
Wait, 'Welcome 3' has 30 actors? That's like a wedding reception, not a film! I'll still watch it for nostalgia but honestly, bring back the simplicity. Miss you Katrina and the original vibe! 🙏
I think it's nice they kept Akshay in the remix. Disha is beautiful. But yes, Katrina's energy was different. The remix is fine for a party track. 🤷♀️
