Day 29: The North has gone South

Let's face it; North India secretly has an obsession with the South. It explains why so many movies are remakes (Billu Barber, Singham, Ready, Rowdy Rathore, Bodyguard, Force, Bhool Bhulaiya, Garam Masala, Ghajini, Sunday, Shakti, Ek Deewana Tha, etc etc.)

Here are a few North Indian songs, coupled with their Southie originals. (This wouldn't be fair if I didn't do the converse, so I'll cover that another day.)

1) Title Song - Saathiya

Pachai Nirame - Alai Payuthey

2) Dhinka Chika - Ready

Ring Ringa - Aarya 2

3) Khwabon Khwabon - Force

Uyirin Uyire - Kaakha Kaakha

4) Suniye To - Yes Boss. Little older one, I actually think this one is considerably better than the original...

Azhagiya Laila - Ullathai Alli Tha

5) Aa Re Pritam Pyare - Rowdy Rathore

Vaadi Vaadi Naatu - Alli Thanda Vaanam

6) Chikni Chameli - Agneepath

Kombdi Palali - Jatra. This is Marathi, but regardless has a heavy south influence, so I thought I'd add it.

7) Aa Ante Amalapuram - Maximum (Thanks to Sidra for pointing this one out)
