The original
The Coke studio version from Meesha Shafi
Whatever you may think of the new effort (“desecration of the original” or a vast improvement), it is interesting that coke studio (and Meesha Shafi’s expresions) is trying to to salute some folk and classical elements in their modernized version and the director of Anwara is trying to make his picturization of the folk-ish Punjabi song more modern… I detect at least a short essay opportunity in the journal of postcolonial studies..
