The filmmaker gave the example of his own children who had loved the new version. The ‘Beta’ director stated that they were merely passing the ‘gems’ that the generation has been deprived of. Kumar added that the original came out 40 years ago, but today’s generation was not familiar with it. Indra Kumar has now reacted in a separate interview to the comments from the original team and agreed with Rajesh Roshan’s views that lack of originality and talent in the current music industry is an understatement. Lata Mangeshkar also asserted that no one takes their consent regarding the songs to ask if they approve or not and asked if it was right. Usha Mangeshkar said the sisters’ songs were composed with immense thought, sensitivity and care then and that ‘ripping them off’ arbitrarily is ‘not correct.’ #Inkaar #1978 #Helen #Mungda #OoMungdaMungda #UshaMangeshkar #bollywoodclassics #bollywood #bollywoodgems #BGT #BollywoodGemsTeamĪ post shared by BOLLYWOOD GEMS TEAM on at 2:03pm PDT She danced in more than 700 movies establishing herself as a prolific dancer.
