Reception

Perspective

Bagchi has been panned by critics over the quantity and quality of his remixes.[39][40]

In 2019, his remake version of the song O Saki Saki achieved a lot of views but was criticised by the original music director, Vishal Dadlani.[41] In 2020, his remake version of the Delhi-6 song Masakali, titled Masakali 2.0, which was initially supposed to be released as part of the soundtrack of Marjaavaan, was severely criticised by the makers of the original, including composer A. R. Rahman, lyricist Prasoon Joshi and singer Mohit Chauhan.[42] He was also trolled on entertainment websites and social media platforms.[43]

After the controversy "Masakali 2.0" Tanishk Bagchi also received criticism through memes that spread on twitter. It also refers to the artist Neha Kakkar, where all the memes are mostly aimed at the two for often making remake songs together.[citation needed] Bagchi had earlier said that he didn't want to make remakes in the beginning, but got an opportunity to make the music for "The Humma Song" for Ok Jaanu.[44] Bagchi also received harsh criticism because of the song Zaalima Coca Cola which was sung by Shreya Ghoshal and starred Nora Fatehi. The song was originally released for the action film, Bhuj: The Pride of India. The song was criticised by Pakistani netizens because the film is considered anti-Pakistan, while the original version of this song is a song from Pakistan sung by Noor Jehan.[45][46] The song also drew criticism for the lyrics used, but others praised the performance of Ghoshal and Fatehi for this song.[47]
