Mile Sur Mera Tumhara in new avatar

 

I hate this new avatar. Its very disappointing. I just like the old “Mile sur” which used to come on doordarshan. In the earlier version, the celebrities are portrayed as few among the common Indian. In the newer version, they are too glamourized. We can hardly see the real, common India. Further, this time the duration of the song also seems to be monotonously long. In the new one most of them are film celebrities. Not many non-film personalities are projected in this in new video. Do we have to rely on star power so much. What happened to Scientists, cricketers, enterpreneurs like Narayana Murthy or Ratan Tata?  What happened to singers like Lata mangeskar and so on. What happened to

noble winners and great industrialists who took India to new highs? Since when Shilpa shetty has become the face of Rajasthan!! and why do they have to make parody of 'aati kya khandala' with 'mile sur'. Why is it so filmy..shahid as rock star, ranbir on top of cliff, deepika padukone in a filmy attire etc etc- are these people new face of India??..I don’t want to call this a “new mile sur”, which would be – in a way insult to the 88 classic that inspires patriotism!! I would like to see this as just an attempt by film personalities and few other people to remind us of old “mile sur”.  We can consider this as Bollywood tribute to Nation on Republic Day in its style. This is the beauty of change, when it happens most of the people don’t like it.
