News Topical, Digital Desk : The buzz surrounding Dhurandhar continues unabated. From its characters to its dialogues and songs, everything is making headlines. The film features recreated versions of several old songs, and audiences have thoroughly enjoyed them.
This song is 35 years old
One of these was Sanjay Dutt's entry song, "Hawa Hawa...," which received a lot of applause and whistles from the audience in the theater. But did you know that this song is 35 years old and was strictly prohibited in Pakistan at the time?
Why was the song banned in other countries including Pakistan?
Although the song "Hawa Hawa" is considered Pakistani, it is actually inspired by the Persian song "Hwar Hawar," sung by Kourosh Yaghmaei. Composed in 1970, Kourosh combined the melody with modern music. The song was well-received and became a hit in Iran.
Pakistani artist recreated
The Islamic Revolution of 1979 changed everything. Rock music was banned, and even all of Kourosh's songs, including "Hawar Hawar," were banned. Playing them on radio and cassettes was prohibited. In 1980, Pakistani artist Hasan Jahangir heard the melody and was delighted. He recreated it. The song resonated with audiences, quickly becoming a popular hit across South Asia. Billions of copies were sold and it has been recreated numerous times. Recently, audiences also loved Sanjay Dutt's entry in "Dhurandhar."
